Studio Art 360 – CRITIQUE the PAPER MACHE Forms. What skills did you learn?

Abstraction with Paper Mache – These SIMPLE ideas can help you make a lot more art that is ALL INSPIRED by this project. http://www.gardenfresh.org/artists/park/JPEG/Image9-AHBICE.jpg

Goals:

  • 9.1P: Establish relevant criteria in order to evaluate a work of art or collection of works.
  • Looking at the forms you created – what is the STRONGEST / MOST SUCCESSFUL aspect of these four objects? What is the WEAKESST / LEAST SUCCESSFUL aspect of these four objects?

What form was the most challenging for you to create with the CARDBOARD? Why do you feel that was the biggest challenge? Use the ART TERMS that you know (Form, Shape, Effort, Execution…)

AP Studio Art: 1 week Magazine Article Assignment, Jim Dine and Plants and Flowers – CRITIQUE COMING UP THIS WEEK – http://goo.gl/5xaz0X

More Difficult? – Share on your GOALS page the differences and how they may be challenging you. SHARE THIS WITH YOUR CLASSMATES.

How did having conversation with your classmates about the processes / materials that you are using give you different ways, new ideas about the work you are making?

Goals:

  • 2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.
