Look at YESTERDAY’S POST and check it out. RESEARCH IS ON YOUR OWN. Below is a slideshow of my day at the Milwaukee Art Museum and I mad pictures of FIGURATIVE ART for you to explore. Enjoy!
Art Foundations: Intro to Photoshop and Portraits (x2)
G: 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.
A: What did you write down as the GOAL or the thing you were going to begin with today?
Share that with your classmate and then get to work in PHOTOSHOP. This is the LAST DAY to work.
The images will be 8” x 10” or 10” x 8” and at a resolution of 300ppi.
G: Did you hand it in through the Google Classroom as a JPEG? Is it 300ppi? Is it 8″ x 10″ or 10″ x 8″? These minor details are important so that I can print the image up smoothly and easily. Make sure that you named it with your name as part of the title so that it is easy for me to identify.
G: 1.1Ac: Individually or collaboratively formulate new creative problems based on student’s existing artwork.
A: What is so special about the photo you created last time that is making this portrait so interesting?
We will have gone over some of the tools that you might have thought of using (brushed, pencils, erasers) but what else can you use in Photoshop to create a drawing?
LAYERS are important here and I hope that you are using them.
This project WILL be printed in FULL COLOR. Make your resolution 300 dpi.
Continue to work with the self – portrait from last time in Adobe Photoshop. What are you taking away from the process of using PHOTOSHOP rather than ILLUSTRATOR to draw?
When you come in the time after next… you need to have 5 thumbnails AND the work of “Literature” with you. If you DO NOT HAVE SOMETHING WITH YOU, I will supply you with a work from your English Class (which is fine if you’d like by the way, you are reading it in class).
G: 6.1Ac: Make, explain, and justify connections between artists or artwork and social, cultural, and political history.
8.1Ac: Identify types of contextual information useful in the process of constructing interpretations of an artwork or collection of works.
A: Sit down for 7 minutes and write – just freehand write about yourself and your artist journey – what has it been? What do you enjoy doing / making / seeing / creating in your art? What OTHER things are influencing you as you make your work? Do you have anything beyond the classroom that influences you?
G: What sort of writing were you able to come up with today? What images have you gathered in the process of your research today? What magazine cover styles have your looked at? What page layouts have you considered? What are you going to do to create a QUALITY page layout and then an article / magazine cover for yourself? This is a challenge that will be worth your while.
BIG HUGE NOTE: Create a gathering of 5 – 10 page layouts from ONLINE RESEARCH and insert them into a GOOGLE DOCUMENT – and then HAND IT IN THROUGH GOOGLE CLASSROOM. This is DUE at the end of the class period today – it will keep you on task.
G: 7.1Ac: Recognize and describe personal aesthetic and empathetic responses to the natural world and constructed environments.
10.1Ac: Utilize inquiry methods of observation, research, and experimentation to explore unfamiliar subjects through art-making.
A: What are your plans and who is inspiring you in the process. The ideas for your artwork WILL be ready to go the next time we meet – you WILL be presenting your ideas to me and then begin painting / drawing it out. We have 3 weeks to complete this artwork so we can move on. Reference materials – photographs, writings, planning – all of that will be ready to go for next block.
ALSO – Do you HAVE TO GO ABSTRACT? No! Some like that – some don’t. This is YOUR idea, your plans, your work.
G: Research online, in your sketchbook – don’t forget to think scale. The ONLY guideline that I am HOLDING you to is that the work if FIGURATIVE in nature (based on and observed from a real person – whole figure – or most of – NOT A PORTRAIT) and the rest is up to you. It is IMPORTANT that you are exposed to the idea of working from a figure. Make DARN SURE you are ready to go next time. Images, Photographs, Sketched, Materials, Canvas BUILT!
G: 1.2Ac: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design.
A: Today is a SOLID DAY of RESEARCH. Make the best use of your time and you WILL BE READY TO BUILD your canvases on FRIDAY! Have a scale for the canvas ready. Have your RESEARCH DONE (and this can get done today) and shared with me. Questions? Ask…
G: What did you do this week to get things set for a successful portrait. We are doing a MID CRIT. in 3 class periods so make sure you are working in and out of studio time.
SUPER HUGE NOTE: This slideshow is set up so you can go through it on your own, at the computer, in the digital art studio, at your own pace. Work alone, with a partner, with a small group… but get it done today and begin your research!
#69: Color is not Neutral: It has an emotional component. Certain colors have specific associations and induce certain responses. Learn what they are. When you use color, try to determine and understand the accompanying emotional response and how to use it effectively. Color has a visceral impact. Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School

Next time we will be working FIGURATIVE IDEAS and some RESEARCH on your own… We will be meeting in the DIGITAL LAB so that you have time to research and PLAN your work. CANVASES will NEED to be done on your own time. ALSO – REMEMBER THAT the IMAGERY is YOUR OWN IMAGERY! It HAS to be YOURS.
G: 1.1Ac: Individually or collaboratively formulate new creative problems based on student’s existing artwork.

G: PORTRAITS: With a group of three, come up with 3 techniques, tools, approaches to a portrait that you as the model would like to work with for the image? As a group of three – you will 1) hold lighting, 2) Be the Photographer, and 3) be the model for the photograph. We will talk about the cameras for a brief bit in the beginning, then we will be heading down to the painting studio and then out into the building with cameras and lights for 30 minutes (that is 10 minutes per person… so be thinking about the process and the poses that you might want.) Take 5 minutes NOW to look over PORTRAITS in Google to begin to THINK of ideas… you will be using these ideas as IDEAS. Have your sketchbook ready to make notes and quick sketches of the ideas. We will be using an 10” x 8” format at 300ppi.
