Here are the ideas for Final Product in the next assignment – you will have to use the same technique but with multiple solutions to the challenges – BRIGHT COLORS and GLAZES – Multiple Ideas – Clay Cup / Mug (Pinch Pot, Coils?) Animal Sculpture (look at historical ideas – REALLY OLD sculpture – stuff), Post Modern – Neo-Pop Keith Haring and other 3D Works – Bright Colors etc… 

Sculpture Photos of LAST Semester’s Work

When they are all dry – either define the lines with black sharpie marker (thick / thin / variety) or crayons that are of similar color scheme. When you evaluate this assignment – consider the successfulness of the works that have a specific color scheme in comparison to the one without a specific color scheme.

Shane Koyczan – TED Talk “To This Day”... for the Bullied and Beautiful… “If you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror, look a little closer, stare a little longer, because there’s something inside you that makes you keep trying despite everyone who told you to quit.”

Drawing: Nests – ONE more day?

9.1Ac: Determine the relevance of criteria used by others to evaluate a work of art or collection of works.

Well… Grab a RUBRIC II – and begin your self evaluation – AFTER you have taken a few 15 – 20 minutes to do written evaluation of 4 works of art – make sure your written critiques use ACTIONABLE / CRITICAL / IMPROVEMENT type statements. Let’s start this critique then. Get the work up in front of us and you lead the way. KORB will sit and listen… Keep time Korb.

Studio Art 360: Sketchbook Tuesday

2.1P: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.

What are 3 things about your SKETCHBOOK that you are VERY PLEASED with? What are 3 things you WANT TO IMPROVE ON?

Color: Begin by drawing out three 7” x 4” FORMAT BOXES on three pages in your sketchbook. Divide your format box up by using 7 straight or curved lines. Do the same on the next two pages. On the first page, use one color scheme (page 29 in your handbook)of watercolor paints and fill the spaces in. On the second page, choose another color scheme and do the same. Lastly, on the third page – use whatever colors you want. When they are all dry – either define the lines with black sharpie marker (thick / thin / variety) or crayons that are of similar color scheme. When you evaluate this assignment – consider the successfulness of the works that have a specific color scheme in comparison to the one without a specific color scheme.

How much time OUTSIDE of class do you feel you are going to need for NEXT WEEKS DUE DATE?  What DAY are you going to work on that? Maybe 5 – 10 minutes PER day? What benefits would LITTLE bits of time do versus ONE BIG HUGE TIME?

What do you need to do in order to wrap things up for Monday? Excellent job with your Observational skills. Let’s take one more day to polish up the ideas. You’ll talk about 3 of the drawings (maybe 4)… How many have you drawn?

Studio Art 360: Still Life

As artists, we are in it for the process of MAKING ART, not necessarily worrying about the finished product. How do you feel about the idea of  PROCESS versus PRODUCT?
