Studio Art 360 – Color Theory – Let’s Look at the COLOR WHEEL and PAINT!

Pablo Picasso and the ROSE period – http://www.dailyartfixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Acr%C3%B3bata-y-joven-arlequ%C3%ADn-Pablo-Picasso-Rose-Period-1905.jpg

Goals:

  • 3.1P: Apply relevant criteria from traditional and contemporary cultural contexts to examine, reflect on, and plan revisions for works of art and design in progress.
  • Why is it important for an artist to choose colors CAREFULLY as they are developing a composition / artwork? What might the RIGHT colors do in an impage versus the “wrong” colors?  

Review with neighbors the relationships of the colors on the color wheel? When you look in your closet… what COLORS do you think you have the most of hanging? Why do you think that you have more of that color than others? Assignment – FOR FRIDAY REPEAT THE ASSIGNMENT from above… Something that is of interest to you.

REMEMBER! ASSIGNMENT FOR FRIDAY – Bring in a COUPLE of COLOR ADVERTISEMENT that demonstrates a specific use of COLOR SCHEMES and is of a PRODUCT that YOU FIND IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE! Like THIS or THIS

Painting – Color Schemes and the RESOLUTION of the ABSTRACT Compostion

Modrian is REALLY simplifying the images – -How about you? http://www.theartstory.org/images20/works/mondrian_piet_3.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.
  • What are the relationships you are seeing in the beginnings of the space you are creating? How do you see the use of color as an important part of the conceptual / idea process?

Looking at the space you have created, how do you describe the FEELING / EMOTION you have begun to create? Strong sense of space? Easy to “read” ideas? Give EXAMPLES – at least two.

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

Critique? – TOMORROW! Resolve ToDAY! https://artwithkorb.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/leobcrit.jpg

Goals:

  • 4.2Ad: Critique, justify, and present choices in the process of analyzing, selecting, curating, and presenting artwork for a specific exhibit or event.
  • As you hang up your work… consider three things are really successful about the work you have created. What is ONE thing you might change about YOUR work? What is ONE suggestion you will offer to your fellow AP Artists?

What is the body of work you feel you will be working on this year in AP Studio Art? Drawing / 2D Design? What about your Hands and Feet drawing can you speak about that would explain the relationship that you see in that type of portfolio?

Studio Art 360 – Color Theory – How do colors work? WRAP up NOTECARDS! Let’s Look at the COLOR WHEEL and PAINT!

GREAT use of COLLAGE to design a color wheel. I’ve got a feeling we will do the same at the end of the Color Unit! https://artwithkorb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/a4228-dsc01433.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 relationships of color on the color wheel What are the PRIMARY Colors, SECONDARY colors, and TERTIARY Colors? WRITE THEM DOWN!

Review with neighbors the relationships of the colors on the color wheel? QUIZ one another on the names, types and relationships of the colors. What were the most CHALLENGING COLORS for you to mix? Which were the easiest to work with?

ASSIGNMENT FOR FRIDAY – Bring in a COUPLE of COLOR ADVERTISEMENT that demonstrates a specific use of COLOR SCHEMES and is of a PRODUCT that YOU FIND IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE! Like THIS or THIS

Painting – Color Schemes and the RESOLUTION of the ABSTRACT Compostion

Are you able to see any TREE or Landscape in this work? I believe that MODRIAN was still referencing the REAL to come up with the ABSTRACT. http://www.theartstory.org/

Goals:

  • 1.2Ac: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design.
  • Does the use of LINE become the DOMINANT element in your artwork or are you seeing other elements as coming to the forefront of the composition?

What color scheme have you begun to think about? Why? how does it DESCRIBE YOUR feelings toward the SIMPLIFICATION of the SPACE / SURROUNDINGS?

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

What do you see as the positive space? The negative space? Push and Pull of the space. How are you playing with the ideas of space in your composition? https://www.artdoxa.com/anniehowelladams/large?page=1

Goals:

  • 3.1Ad: Reflect on, re-engage, revise, and refine works of art or design considering relevant traditional and contemporary criteria as well as personal artistic vision.
  • Positive and Negative Space. Line Quality. Shape and Form. Unity. Emphasis. What are the ELEMENTS / PRINCIPLES that you are seeing develop in the work? What are the Conceptual ideas about the use of objects to create an intriguing work?

After 3 days of SOLID work – After seeing a 6 (5) on the AP Rubric and reading about what it takes to “score” that high… what is ONE thing you have learned about yourself / the process / the ideas of making successful work that REVOLVE around DRAWING / 2D Design Criteria?

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

How does this color wheel represent the ideas of the REAL color wheel (but is WRONG)?
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.

Review with neighbors the relationships of the colors on the color wheel? QUIZ one another on the names, types and relationships of the colors.

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?

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?

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

#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!
