What arts education brings
Grids and Math and Art and Culture!
“Remember, all the answers you need are inside of you; you only have to become quiet enough to hear them.” — Debbie Ford
Art Foundations: GRIDS and MATH – Shhhh… Let’s figure this out.
GOALS
-
- 1.2 How are you using the ideas of RATIOS to transfer your IMAGE UP to a larger size? (grid and drawing – then to painting)
How do you see the work you are creating now improving or being more successful than the work you have done in the past? Do you REALLY think you are taking the time in drawing (sketchbooks) as being more thought out? Are you using techniques from our class elsewhere in your day-to-day making of objects?
Drawing: GENIUS DAY PRESENTATIONS
GOALS
- 5.3 describe meanings of artworks by analyzing 5.3.1 techniques and 5.3.2 how they relate to history and culture
What was the most CHALLENGING Part of this week? What would you do differently? What would you suggest be DONE differently? Hang Work in MATT and DISPLAY on Back Wall With Paragraph / RESEARCH – Hallways Next Week – CHARCOAL!
AP Studio Art: DuCHOMP some snacks with your art – PRESENTATIONS!
GOALS
- 5.3 describe meanings of artworks by analyzing 5.3.1 techniques and 5.3.2 how they relate to history and culture
What was the most CHALLENGING Part of this week? What would you do differently? What would you suggest be DONE differently? Hang Work
Red Yellow and Blue Liz… Thanks Andy!

Art Foundations: GRIDS and ANDY WARHOL
Goals:
- 1.2 How are you using the ideas of RATIOS to transfer your IMAGE UP to a larger size? (grid and drawing – then to painting)
- 6.1 How might someone NOT in art use RATIOS in the rest of their life – Mathematical Ratios and Transferring ideas?
What are the challenges you have been having with this process? What colors have you begun using and how easy / hard has this been for you?.Did you need or offer help from / to a classmate? Collaboration is ESSENTIAL to solving problems
Drawing: Last Genius Day day…

STEAM Education at Waterford Union High School
In two of our art classes, we have had the great opportunity to tie it ALL(most) together. Thanks to Ms. Lynn Neuman (math) and Mrs. Nancy Smith (Science) for their ideas and feedback.
Art Foundations – Science / Engineering / Math / English and ART. They researched (flipped classroom of my videos) 2 point perspective (houses, buildings etc…) and learned the “rules.” Then they researched Scanning Electron Microscope images, we had a conversation about the results, they documented their sites, read a bit about it and then… they had to use the rules of perspective to interpret their microscopic image into and oil pastel drawing. The link is here: http://goo.gl/uRIS37
Drawing – Using the HISTORY of Germany and Russia in the early 1900’s – WWII, the students studied the times and ideas behind the work of Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky. They studied the MATH / GEOMETRY / COLOR theory behind his works and came up with their own color theory. THEN… Music was the emotional impetus for the work. They listened first to music by Kandinsky’s contemporaries and got the ideas for abstraction and geometry. From there they worked their OWN music into the art. So lets see… Music / history / math / social studies (history)… oh.. and ENGLISH – they had to write up an explanation – Artist Statement about their work. The collaborative efforts can be seen in this presentation they worked out and engineered through Google Presentation… some of it MAY still be in the works! http://goo.gl/Jz15AT
Have a GREAT WEEKEND!

Genius, Color, and Matting artwork… are you up for the challenges?
“Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth.” — Julie Andrews
Art Foundations: COLOR and YOU!
Goals:
- 1.4 Analyse (break it down) and Define color schemes and how you use color on a daily basis.
Review with neighbors the relationships of the colors on the color wheel? QUIZ one another on the names, types and labels of the colors. What three colors can you use to mix ALL THE OTHER colors? In your GOALS SHEET…
Drawing: Genius Day (a bit longer than a day).
Goals:
- 1.1 Define and consider your PASSIONS through the media, techniques, and processes that you want to consider. Don’t forget about the 1.1.1 skill , 1.1.2 confidence and 1.1.3 awareness that you have and will use so that your ideas are executed well.
Working with Mr. Korb “out of the way/” Here are your “24 hours” of doing what you want with who you want in the way you want with the idea of a product being the end result and presenting being the final evaluation. What have you accomplished today and what do you need to accomplish tonight so that you can present tomorrow? The presentation is a huge factor. What did you intend to do? What did you intend to learn? Why is this a GREAT experience for you? How is having an assignment easier or harder for you? Lots to think about…
AP Studio Art: MAT YOUR WORK – Consider Duchamp
Goals:
- 6.3 use the principles and techniques of art with those from other discipline to PREPARE your WORK for QUALITY!
What are you doing this weekend to PREPARE for the next 1 weeks of WORKING on ONE BREADTH work based on the figure drawings that we worked on this week. How can you look at the Marcel Duchamp work of the world and resolve the image you have in front of you. Next week… resolution – Pastels, Conte, Charcoal? Whatever…
TED says that COLOR sound beautiful!
“Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth.” — Julie Andrews
Art Foundations: Artist Statement – TURN IN SELF EVAL!
GOALS:

YOUR ARTWORKS that have been PHOTOGRAPHED
How do you feel about the paper you have written? Does it fully describe your artwork? Does it partially describe your artwork? Does it fall flat? WHY?
Drawing: WRITE – SUMMARIZE – FINISH – INSPIRE!

AP Studio Art: Art Mounting Time
Be CAREFUL as to how you use the tools. Make your lines STRAIGHT and CLEAN! Goals:
- 3.2 apply subjects, symbols, and ideas in art and use skill to solve visual challenges – What are the VISUAL CHALLENGES that you are faced with in this part of the art toolbox?
Well… how did you do? What do you need to FOCUS on as you mount MORE and MORE artworks? Is this as easy as MAKING art? Would you reconsider HOW you make your work so you can skip this step?
