Studio Art 360 – FINISH THE DRAWINGS – Mount them to Mats – Exhibit your work!

Now that you have a good understanding of drawing from OBSERVATION… How can you carry that FURTHER into the idea of OTHER objects and Still Life Paintings? Janet Fish has spent a career on that VERY IDEA! http://artandperception.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/fwf1.jpg

GOALS:

  • G: 4.1P: Analyze, select, and curate artifacts and/or artworks for presentation and preservation.
  • How do you feel about MATTING and PRESENTING your work? What sort of FINISH will putting a WHITE MATT around it do for your work? Give two ideas and explanations.

Why does the presentation of your final works make you PROUD or NOT PROUD? Please give a solid three sentence explanation to your answer.

Painting – Hallways – Wow – One More Day?

What makes this a more successful DRAWING than yesterdays? How do you see your abilities as you see a strong drawing like this one? What can you do?

GOALS:

  • 2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.
  • What EXPERIMENTS are you using as you make marks in the hallways? Are you finding NEW SKILLS you didn’t think you had? Explain the STRENGTH (in art terms) of your initial ROUGH drawing and Thumbnails.

What about today’s drawing makes for a successful drawing? Three reasons please. 

AP Studio Art – LECTURE TIME – Art and Fear – Sit and Chat about the challenges ahead of you.

What is the FOCAL POINT? What Elements is this artist using to create a sense of EMPHASIS or UNITY? https://artwithkorb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/755a3-dscf0129.jpg

GOALS:

  • 2.2Ad: Demonstrate understanding of the importance of balancing freedom and responsibility in the use of images, materials, tools, and equipment in the creation and circulation of creative work.
  • Looking at the hands and feet drawings – what can you do now – 3 things – to EMPHASIZE the FOCAL POINT through your use of CONTRAST?

Looking at the rubric from the AP Site – are you hitting the level 6 marks? What do you do SPECIFICALLY to match one of them (or not match one of them).

#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!
