Begin by getting your 2nd panel out (storage room or the gallery). Today we are going to SELF ASSESS the works. This is your time and think about what you have accomplished? Execution? Composition? Character? This is you taking the time to think about WHY you are exceeding or why you are struggling. Time for self reflection. Let’s do this now.

BY THE WAY: everything-stained-glass.com is a good site for your own personal research.

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.
2.2Ac: Demonstrate awareness of ethical implications of making and distributing creative work.
3.1Ac: Engage in constructive critique with peers, then reflect on, re-engage, revise, and refine works of art and design in response to personal artistic vision.

This is the week / day to finalize your design. Sit with ONE PERSON NEXT TO YOU and look at the design. I want you to explain your thoughts and reasons for this work. Explain all the choices you made. As the listener… please share TWO THOUGHTS with your partner that are CRITICAL and ACTIONABLE. Write out what your partner has said and how you are going to move forward with it.

7.2Ac: Evaluate the effectiveness of an image or images to influence ideas, feelings, and behaviors of specific audiences.
2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

Fauvism and color use. We are taking the first drawings and moving forward with them. You worked so hard to deal with value and the composition and you now are going to work with the idea of COLOR and composition. Look at your first composition and write out three things that you see as having been done WELL and three things that you feel you need to improve on. These improvements need to be actionable – what SPECIFICALLY are you going to do to improve your next work?

1.1Ac: Individually or collaboratively formulate new creative problems based on student’s existing artwork
9.1Ad: Construct evaluations of a work of art or collection of works based on differing sets of criteria.

Using the PLANT and the images by Jim Dine that I’ve shown you, what ideas have you begun to come up with regarding the final work? The drawings need to break the traditional compositional space. How are you planning on moving that idea forward? Write out three thoughts – full sentences – about your plans.

This is coming up next:
- Jim Dine and Plants slide show – HERE.
- Previous Artworks – HERE.
- Jim Dine Self-Portrait on the Wall VIDEO – HERE.

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.
2.2Ad: Demonstrate understanding of the importance of balancing freedom and responsibility in the use of images, materials, tools, and equipment in the creation and circulation of creative work.
2.1Ad: Experiment, plan, and make multiple works of art and design that explore a personally meaningful theme, idea, or concept.

This week we begin our final skeleton ISOLATION drawing. Looking back at your studies from last week, what areas of the skeleton were you particularly drawn too? List 2 and tell yourself why. From these studies – what portion of the body are you going to begin your thumbnail drawings today? How are you going to deal with the negative space?
