“Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don’t have any problems, you don’t get any seeds.” —Norman Vincent Peal “

Art Foundations: Questions? Paint! Study!

G: 1.1P: Use multiple approaches to begin creative endeavors.
A: TODAY is a day of 1) REVIEW and 2) SELF – ASSESSING the PORTRAIT that you have COMPLETED in 30 minutes. If it is NOT DONE… we have issues… We CLEAN next week!
G: What questions do you have? What size card can you use on the exam? What else do you need to do to prepare for the exam? PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ALL THAT WE HAVE LEARNED THIS SEMESTER will help you create stronger artworks as you continue to make art in the future.

G: 1.2Ac: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design.
A: Looking at the images you gathered last time and before today…
- What are two strengths about the best image you have and what are two weaknesses in the least successful image you have?
- I want you to be thoughtful about the images you have created. Today we experiment and tweek in Photoshop with a strong photograph.
- It is important to know that you can only do so much with a weak photograph – the better you can do before you press the shutter button the better your final image will be.
- Planning and preparation are a good portion of it – luck CAN take an active role in the process – but planning is a better approach to the creation of the photograph.
G: What did you accomplish today in the time we had for photography? Strong images? How were you able to make the best use of your time? Thinking about the images you created today… how many of the Elements and Principles were you able to document? Able to capture in a unique and original way? Presentation on EXAM DAY – January 16 and 17.

G: 1.2Ac: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design.
We will take the ENTIRE studio time to work and work and work on the paintings that you are working on.What do you need to do to make the best use of your time? Look at your paintings and make some smart choices. Sticky Note… “MY PLANS FOR THE DAY IS…”
Next time we meet is a CLEANING DAY and then the FOLLOWING is our EXAM DAY! – January 16! Change in PLANS. We will CLEAN NEXT TIME after painting for a smidge…
Alight painters… watercolors, books, acrylics… 22 or so artworks created this semester… How do you feel you did? Think about the time we have spent with one another… Fill the sticky note that you have in front of you with a final reflection about what you have learned? What have you taken away from this semester? My biggest skills developed were? My biggest regrets about the semester were? I can now… I still struggle with… What do you have to say about the course?
