“The challenges you are faced with are set up so that you are able to see the larger picture rather than the immediate task at hand.”

Art Foundations 2D – Ratios / Golden Mean / Rectangle / Composition / Abstraction / Scale

Please play the Music Video first – sit back and enjoy… take in the ABSTRACTION behind the singers and enjoy the use of music and art as a pairing. We are going to look at abstraction next – so be prepared for the ideas of simplification and color schemes. After the Music video – Play MY video further below – go along with the paper that is provided and be prepared with a ruler and a pencil… GOAL SHEETS TOO!

The above link is a great place to read more about the artist(s) and band and the rationale that went into the painting behind the video. Abstraction and music – cool.

  1. Create art that demonstrates an understanding of how your ideas relate to the materials and techniques.
  2. Work with mixed media in artwork.

How might changing the scale of an artwork (making it SUPER BIG or SUPER SMALL) or anobject in the artwork (a person REALLY BIG or REALLY SMALL) make the artwork more interesting?

AP Studio Art

  1. 6.1 Compare aspects of the visual arts (as artist) with aspects of other disciplines (gallery director, gallery intern / installation person / writer).
  2. Know about the works of art in the exhibition and artist statements.

What decisions do you consider when choosing the artwork to display? What do you look at as a whole when you think to begin your artist statement?

Drawing – Figure / Fabric

 

  1. 5.1 Identify the rationale behind making art.
  2. Work on all aspects of chiaroscuro, fabric folds over the human figure, resolve the composition.

What was the HARDEST part of the process for you? What did you have to hurdle over, jump over, climp over, claw tooth and nail over  in order to get this final charcoal composition resolved?
