Art Foundations 2D – Wrap up Chapter 9 – Texture, Grattage and Decalcomania (Frottage from Yesterday).

1. 2.3 Work on creating artworks that solve visual challenges using TEXTURE making techniques.
2. 1.1 Work on applying media, techniques, and processes with 1.1.3 awareness so that your ideas are executed well.

A crumbling city looms oppressively below the ring-shaped moon. Ernst made a whole series of such works. The imagery may reflect his pessimism as Nazism took hold in his native Germany. The ruined cityscape was created using a technique that Ernst called ‘grattage’ (scraping). It involved placing the canvas over planks of wood or other textured surfaces, then scraping paint across it. The shapes that emerged formed the basis of the image. Grattage was one of a number of techniques that Surrealist artists explored as a way of letting a chance element into their work. – http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/ernst-the-entire-city-n05289

Of ALL the different types of texture making… what was your favorite? What about the process was so much fun? What part of the process gave you NEW approaches that you NEVER would have thought of?

Advanced Drawing – Inside / Outside Portrait – PLAN FOR BREAK!

Yesterday we FAILED on Goals (and I mean ME…)

1. 3.4 Know about the evaluation and defense of your sources for ideas
2. 3.2 Work on applying subjects, symbols, and ideas in art and use skill to solve visual challenges.

What are the aspects of the work that you really need to focus on during the break? What supplies do you need to bring home with you so that you are fully prepared to finish the work that you need to finish. Tell your neighbor all that you need to do in order to accomplish the work you need to do. WRITE DOWN the supplies you need to pick up and take home.

AP Studio Art – Concentration work, 1″ Artwork, Planning on the work for the break – TAKE WORK HOME!

1. 1.2 Work on creating art that demonstrates an understanding of how your ideas relate to the 1.2.1 materials 1.2.2 techniques 1.2.3 and processes you use.
2. 2.6 Work on creating multiple solutions to solve visual challenges.

Regrettably, I am going to have to REALLY start holding the grades to a higher level. I feel as though I have been VERY soft this first semester. I have had some VERY good conversations with some of you about the works and with some of you… I am worried about shutting you down and turning you off from making art. That day ends today. Be prepared for a new set of expectations from me and new expectations I hope you have for yourself. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO TO ADVANCE YOURSELF? What do you need to do to UP YOUR GAME? Look over the body of work you have made so far… what is successful? What is failing / falling short of the quality that you need to do.

Art Foundations 2D: Chapter 9: Lesson 3. Chapter on Texture – Lets go get some texture in the halls.

1. 2.6 Work on creating multiple solutions to solve visual challenges.
2. 2.2 evaluate the effectiveness of artworks

How are you able to see that the element of TEXTURE is an important part of creating successful art? How else is TEXTURE important in life?

Advanced Drawing: Work on Inside / Outside Portraits. Review and plan on what happens tomorrow… snow day?

AP Studio Art: Concentration and Breadth work. One on One Concentration Work Conversations. Review current assortment of CONCENTRATION (today and Friday) and reflect on the 2 questions from the AP Poster.

1. 1.2 create art that demonstrates an understanding of how your ideas relate to the 1.2.1 materials 1.2.2 techniques 1.2.3 and processes you use
2. 2.2 evaluate the effectiveness (and cohesiveness) of artworks / cocentration

What are your thoughts about the 2 questions? What are your answers to the questions regarding the concentration? Do YOU think that you are growing in the development of your body of work? What is the common thread that is holding your classmates works together? What is missing in the body of work they have as a concentration thus far?
