December 18, 2012 – Tuesday… 3 more days till…

Art Foundations 2D: Finish written critique on grid drawings. Read second part – Chapter 9: Balance. Begin group work: non-objective, asymmetrical collage artwork.

What are YOUR thoughts about the critique? What do you think you can take away from Self-Reflection?
  1. 2.2 Work on evaluating the effectiveness of artworks.
  2. 3.3 describe the creation of images and ideas and explain why they are of value

Character: Comments: What were some things you thought about AS you judged your drawing WHILE you worked? Did you make changes as you worked? Did you FEEL a “light” pop on in your head, an “Ah Ha!” moment about the process? Write about those thoughts and how you feel they helped you become a better drawer during this work.

Critiquing: Comments: What ARE your thoughts about the process of critiquing? Do you feel as though you CAN learn something about yourself when you do a critique? In your thoughts, not what you think I want to hear, could you be more reflective about your work  as you work versus only at the end?

Hard Edged – Balanced – Non-Objective Art

Advanced Drawing: MidCritique of other’s works and reflect upon the comments. Continue working on portraits.

Lay your works out on the desk along with a blank sketchbook page… take 10 minutes and write something about everyone else’s work. DO NOT read the comments of anyone else. Make this a WORTHWHILE critique, something that you feel would be helpful to you.

Based in today’s MID-CRIT what are you able to take away from the process and putting toward the making of your artwork?

AP Studio Art: Finish critique of breadth work. Discuss and reflect on the concentration work. Plan ahead for the break.

What is holding your concentration together? What are the answers to the questions the AP Board has put in front of you (on the poster)?
  1. 1.2 create art that demonstrates an understanding of how your ideas relate to the 1.2.1 materials 1.2.2 techniques 1.2.3 and processes you use
  2. 2.6 Work on creating multiple solutions to solve visual challenges.

Critiquing is an ESSENTIAL process in the making of art. Yesterday was a struggle for me… what did you take away from the critiquing process that you can put to use in your future works? Was it about the composition? Was it about the technique? Was it about your execution with the materials? What was it?
