Painting: Portraits and OILS

3.1Ac: Engage in constructive critique with peers, then reflect on, re-engage, revise, and refine works of art and design in response to personal artistic vision.

Yesterday you were asked to begin thinking about the work in front of you… What DO YOU SEE IN YOUR PAINTING? That’s it.. WHAT DO YOU SEE? Take your time… look at everything you see in the work and write down all that you see. I hope that your reflection here will help you understand / resolve this work. We have to CLEAN on Monday.

Two things – Write up a one paragraph statement about your art and fear work for the website – we will put this into a space on the AP Studio Art Website as well as the Art and Fear Website. ALSO How is your webpage coming along? Remember that it can all be changed later – but you need to have something started – and some of you are REALLY falling behind in your responsibilities as AP Studio Artists. You need to make art and advance yourself as artists. Work hard.

Studio Art 360: Balance and Pattern – All sorts of types

1.2P: Shape an artistic investigation of an aspect of present-day life using a contemporary practice of art or design.

What do you feel you need to do in order to be focused and intentional in the work you are creating? One aspect of this work is to know that the marks you are making are permanent – cannot be taken out – one and done. How do you work with the mistakes that you might make?

Hello All (and especially acash93) – I got an inquisitive question about roof design from acash93 on YouTube this morning (hello again) and rather than a simple reply (which they did get back from me and a redirect to here) I drew out the explanation for a better understanding. I hope this helps.

Happy BREAK! It’s Almost here.

#20 “Clear sight makes clear art.” Observation lies at the heart of the art process. Whether your art derives from mimicking nature or extrapolating a mental construct, your powers of observation are critical. Unless you can see what lies before you, you cannot describe it. Train yourself to eliminate preconceptions and received understandings when observing anything. Try to see what is before you, not what you think you see or want to see.  Kit White 101 Things to Learn in Art School.
