  • G: 2.1P: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.
  • A: How successful did you feel with your ZENTANGLE designs from last time?. What kind of balance do you find you prefer? Symmetry? Approximate Symmetry? Radial? Asymmetry? What are your plans for the metal? We will be etching and riveting to create a work of wearable art.
  • So… What are your plans? What do you hope to accomplish that you might not have thought of before today? Also… most importantly, what are you going to do to make it AUTHENTICALLY YOURS?

Intro to Painting: Welcome to Watercolors and Painting! Let’s try this again.

  • G: 2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.
  • A: What challenges did you have with the watercolors when it came to OBSERVATION of the REAL WORLD around you.
  • G: What 2 things did you get done today that helped you move the ideas of SOCIAL COMMENTARY forward in your design ideas? Be VERY specific in the tasks you accomplished. Develop / collect images, consider the ideas about yourself and surroundings. This is going to be a SELF-PORTRAIT of sorts – no that it is going to look like you but rather… the objects and images, surroundings, ideas will be about you.What are 5 images you gathered today that say something about you?

  • A: Looking back at the hallway drawings from the past two days why do they TEND to be boring? Give 2 reasons that high school hallway drawings can be boring. What are 2 things you are considering about doing to make it EXCITING and YOUR OWN?
  • G: How has TRANSFORMING and ABSTRACTING these drawings changed the boring into more interesting works. Give three SPECIFIC examples.

Colors… Start to create a character drawing (person, animal, creature of YOUR own design) that uses a wide variety of shape tools and at least 5 layers (to practice the idea of Layers).
