Three Days WITH Mr. Korb – Two days WITHOUT… What is Today?

Art is the Product of Process: Art is the product of process: Whether conceptual, experimental, emotional, or formal, the process you develop yields the image you produce. The materials you choose, the methods of production, and the sources of the images should all reflect the interests that command your attention. The process does not stop with each work completed. It is ongoing. The cumulative result of that process is a body of work. 101 Things to Learn in Art School Kit White © 2011 Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kit White

Stained Glass: LOTS to do, Shelves, Patterns, Glass Buying…

10.1Ac: Utilize inquiry methods of observation, research, and experimentation to explore unfamiliar subjects through art-making.

What type of design are you using in your first stained glass panel? Think about the types of BALANCE we have spoken about.

Cutting and Patterns in Glass: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Stained_glass_ready.jpg

WHat is the COLOR SCHEME that you are using in your work?

CIaD: Logos and Sketchbook

7.1Ac: Recognize and describe personal aesthetic and empathetic responses to the natural world and constructed environments.

How are YOUR feelings towards fonts and images affecting those who look at your LOGO? What response might someone ELSE get as they look at your image?

Logo BIG and SMALL! https://s3-media4.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/rXp9t9AFtnb8bE8mE4o5Zg/348s.jpg

What challenges did you have today with the program. Are you working full screen size? Go Big so it can go small.

Drawing: Charcoal on BIG paper

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

What are you taking away from this process of MULTIPLE WORKS OF ART at the SAME TIME? Give me TWO THINGS and WHY. N: Mark making and process over product. Emphasize the ideas of the mark making and observation.

AP Studio Art: CRITIQUE TODAY

4.2Ad: Critique, justify, and present choices in the process of analyzing, selecting, curating, and presenting artwork for a specific exhibit or event.

Nothing – we critiqued today.

Adv.Drawing: Still Life – CRIT Next Week

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.

What was the successful part of the drawing for you? What will you carry forward as you make more art?

#Monday and #MrKorb is #Missing… No… I’m at a #GoogleConference in Union Grove.

Learn To Draw: “Drawing is more than a tool for rendering and capturing likenesses. It is a language, with its own syntax, grammar, and urgency. Learning to draw is about learning to see. In this way, it is a metaphor for all art activity. Whatever its form, drawing transforms perception and thought into image and teaches us how to think with our eyes.”

If you haven’t filled this out – make sure to do so by the end of the week:

Of all the tools that you experimented with, what ONE did you really like using, was something that you feel will be of the most use to you perhaps? Start to create a character drawing (person, animal, creature of YOUR own design) that uses a wide variety of shape tools and at least 5 layers (to practice the idea of Layers) in the NON-OBJECTIVE Drawing.

Looking over your designs, what are the strengths of the best design? Today we will be cutting the pieces out and then tracing them to glass so we can begin cutting them out. MISTAKES WILL HAPPEN and bloody fingers will too. I recommend that you buy a box of bandaids and keep them in your locker – perhaps go in with a few people for that box.

Drawing: Brrrr… I hope you brought MITTENS

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.
