#StudioArt #Monday – Look at the Week!

“What difference does it make whether you’re looking at a photograph or looking at a still life in front of you? You still have to look.” – Chuck Close

Page 11: Handbook: Please take a look at the Artist’s Habits of Mind (AHoM from here on out – p.20). Please choose one of them that you feel you would like to focus on as a personal direction for the quarter. Write it out below like this: I will concentrate on the Artist’s Habit of Mind ____ (and then write out the specific wording to make it more concrete in your head to concentrate on this quarter so that I can _____ (and explain what your thoughts are about a rational / reason / goal that you might have for that one in particular).

These forms may not be your MASTERPIECE of all time, but they did require focus, work, and attention to detail. Looking at ALL the FORMS you created, what do you feel about the ease or difficulty about creating a work of art.

If you are NOT done with the paper mache forms, what could you / should you have done over that past 2 weeks to make sure you DID get them finished by the end of the period? YOU WILL COME TO CLASS TOMORROW with them done.
