I missed us last week as I was recovering from a back case of pneumonia. PLEASE stay healthy. I am back on track and pushing the studio kids hard this week. 2 more days – YIKES! Unfortunately – I need to keep THIS post short and sweet. NEXT semester – back to it and see how it goes!
Thanks – Frank
What does FAILURE look like to you and how do you COPE? Well… Let’s talk about that.
As always, We will leave a link to the EXPECTATIONS in the studio… Here are ours.
Also – and we will be going through these in studio – Thank you the art of education university. HERE are the POSTERS. Here is the presentation… https://www.bit.ly/8AHoM
6th Grade: Photography and the Camp Snap Camera!
Here are the 6th grade semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like.
Here is the Printmaking Assignment.
7th Grade: PAPER MACHE MASKS – PAINTING
Here are the 7th grade semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like.
This is the assignment for the Paper Mache Masks.
Not one of ours, but take a look at the cleanliness of the work by this artist. Their paper is tightly glued down and the edges are nice and crisp. The eye holes are a bit larger than they might need to be. This is a good goal to shoot for.
- Finish the Paper Mache Layers
- Think about and look back on your planning of the colors.
- OH – and we have to GLAZE our Kiln-Guardians too… That will PROBABLY take precedence over the masks for a couple of days.
8th Grade 2D: ROTOSCOPING
Here are the 8th Grade 2D Design semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like
Rotoscoping Assignment is HERE.
Rotoscoping will be a PROCESS versus PRODUCT. This will have a final result but we are going to be more concerned with the day to day learning.
Rotoscoping Assignment is HERE to see how we are going to be working through this assignment together.
8th Grade Sculpture: Fixing ceramic issues and assessing then – Plaster Hand Sculptures
Here are the 8th Grade Sculpture semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like.
ALEXANDER CALDER SCULPTURE ASSIGNMENT HERE – A 180 degree turn!
What will your work look like coming out of the kiln? A lot of works have already been removed – your work might still be waiting.
- Photograph and Assess
- Learn about Alexander Calder and the Stabile – think about the use of the plaster bandages we have and and plaster sculptures (designed around kids your age when he first started).
- Planning and designing and making your Sculptures. Each one takes ONE DAY and then a day to repair. You are responsible for the process and the doing. I hope it works! Watch the process.
