Years ago this was the DAILY launchpad for all of my classes. One post per day, every day, new content, yikes. As we moved into Google Classroom, it changed dramatically. I am going to try and see what we can do for the WEEKLY posts. A little bit more info and then onto the Google Docs page if need be.
Thanks – Frank
What kind of time do you use to take off from your studio? Do you? It feels like over the past two weeks, with more free time on my hands, I’ve spent less time in the studio. Family was around more and I got to sleep in more, so that probably had a bit to do with it. And that is ok. So… what kind of “time off” do you give yourself from the studio and what do you do with that time?
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: Printmaking!
Here are the 6th grade semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like.
Here is the Printmaking Assignment.
Kathe Koillwitz – German Expressionism – In Memoriam Karl Liebknecht – 1920 Woodcut. Kollwitz was a German Expressionist and a phenomonal printmaker in her own right. This work is an AP Art History image too. Learn it now!
We are going to be using INKS this week on the Styrofoam printing plates. We have a little bit of a demo to do and a VERY specific order of operation so PAY ATTENTION to how we do this. It can be messy and you will be CLEANING UP EVERYTHING.
- Black Ink on White Paper
- White Ink on Colored Paper
- Ink on Pastel Colored Paper (this might go into next week).
7th Grade: PAPER MACHE MASKS
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.
Here are hybrid animals from the movie Poor Things… Fun combinations of these animals.
8th Grade 2D: Linoleum Print Assessment and ROTOSCOPING
Here are the 8th Grade 2D Design semester Lesson Plans for you to see what our day will look like
HERE is the assignment from the printmaking work.
Rotoscoping Assignment is HERE.
Mr. Korb’s Plate and the beginnings of his print in REPETITION! A dog chasing his bouncy ball. I still have work to do on mine and YOU are all done with yours. We are going to be using the rubric for one day and then we are into the digital lab for ROTOSCOPING
How are prints signed and numbered? THIS is my handout from my own teachings.
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.
Plaster Hands Assignment HERE.
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 George Segal 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.
