Studio Art 360 – Color Theory – How do colors work? NOTECARDS! SECONDARY, TERTIARY and PRIMARY – FINISH!

HERE’s a REAL color Wheel… Note the differences? http://www.jaimetreadwell.com/colorwheel.JPG

Goals:

  • 1.2P: Shape an artistic investigation of an aspect of present-day life using a contemporary practice of art or design.
  • Review with your neighbor the PRIMARY Colors on the color wheel, the SECONDARY Colors on the Color Wheel and… if you think you know… the TERTIARY (Intermediate) Colors on the color wheel.

Painting and AP Studio Art Intro Video

Painting – Abstraction! Hallways – Let’s make it interesting!

How has Piet Mondrain SIMPLIFIED the TREE? How can YOU simplify the HALLWAYS? Consider the BACKGROUND, FOREGROUND, NEGATIVE SPACE, FOCAL POINT… http://www.theartstory.org/images20/works/mondrian_piet_1.jpg

Goals:

  • 1.2Ac: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design.
  • Looking at yesterday’s one or two simplifications, name 3 of the larger GEOMETRIC shapes that are beginning to develop in your composition. Describe HOW the idea of SPACE changing in your composition.

How does the ORIGINAL image still show up in the space that you are creating? How do you feel the work is developing as a successful or unsuccessful? Give Specifics!

AP Studio Art – Level 6 Drawing – Are you UP TO IT?

How might DeKooning have used the ideas of CONTINUOUS LINE to create his MONUMENTAL Woman 1? https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2433/3753218591_3764daae89.jpg

Goals:

  • 1.2Ad: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices, following or breaking established conventions, to plan the making of multiple works of art and design based on a theme, idea, or concept.
  • Considering the Hands and Feet, how has your drawing taken those ideas  and moved them to a strong work of art? What are your “level 6” criteria that you are mastering?

What element (2D Design) or mark making (Drawing) techniques are you looking at as you build artworks that DRAW people in?

Studio Art 360 – Color Theory – How do colors work – CRITIQUE of DRAWINGS!

NOT about Pink Floyd today but… where DO our colors come from? http://www.photo-dictionary.com/photofiles/list/699/1110prism.jpg

Goals:

  • 7.1P: Hypothesize ways in which art influences perception and understanding of human experiences.
  • Where do you see color? How does the color on TV get blended together? How does color in a magazine get blended together? Optical color?

What are the three types of colors on the color wheel? What can you NOT mix? How do you mix Orange, etc…

Painting – Abstraction! Hallways – Let’s make it interesting!

Ah Mondrian… How I LOVE your works! Landscape… but I thought you were an ABSTRACT DeStijl Painter? BIO HERE.

Goals:

  • 1.2Ac: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design.
  • What are the largest and most DOMINANT LINES you see in your drawing of the hallways? These are the lines that we are going to be looking at as the FOCAL POINT / DOMINANT LINES to build our next work off of.

How easy or difficult was it for you to begin simplifying the space and shapes of your drawings? What challenges do see as you continue? Know that the use of color in the work will be used to create a MOOD / EMOTIONAL response to the space that you are representing with your abstraction (not today… but WEDNESDAY)

AP Studio Art – Level 6 Drawing – Are you UP TO IT?

AP Studio Art Concentration – Excellent Example HERE! http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/215/c/e/ap_studio_art_drawing_portfolio_6_by_jacksonst2509-d59ns6l.jpg

What can you do to take the ideas from the beginning IDEAS to a fully resolved drawing of your own? Still using the ideas of CONTOUR LINE as the impetus to the process… AP Studio Art – Drawing Portfolio

#Art Gallery OPENING!

REPOSTED from http://whsoc20.wordpress.com – by Marh Heebsh

As a Waterford student I am very proud of our fine arts department. We have done amazing things between our performing arts and our visual arts. Just two days ago we were proud to present the opening of the new art gallery at WUHS. It is a beautiful addition to our school. Also, it really encourages the students like me, who art very passionate about making art, to have a place that is worthy to show our work. It makes me feel very professional to hopefully soon show a piece in the gallery.

It also gives a chance to show more student work. The case before the art gallery was quite small and we didn’t get to fit everyone’s work in it. Now we have room for everybody’s art and then some. It is also a cool way for all of the students of the school to come and see their peer’s works. The gallery is open every Friday at lunch for all of the students in our school to view. (I think that it should be open more but we just started the year so I will have to wait). I feel like I am going to a modern art museum every time I walk in.

This gallery is also very important because hopefully in the future a class can take their finished pieces and hang them up and do a critique. This would be amazing and fun to feel like we are professional. This is especially important for my art class because we have a painting class and an AP studio art going on in the same hour and same class so it is nice to have a place to spread out. Then when we get really good we can have biddings on art in there. Just dreaming, but just to think on how far we have come is amazing and this is thanks to our amazing art department teachers. Thank you all for making this possible for all of us!
