Btw…50 Sheets of Paper – Click HERE to see the Album.

These drawings were created by the Advanced Drawing class with two stipulations, they needed to base their drawing on a sense of observation and they needed to use 50 sheets of paper. The rest was up to them. Our artists chose from a wide range of topics and ideas – all personal to them. Using direct observation, symbolism, and abstraction, our artists have created a wide variety of images all at various skill levels and approaches for you to enjoy.

How can you use your ORGANIC Object to create a pattern that looks at BALANCE? https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/d4/85/1a/d4851a03cfa14bb5c5e65d41d1e8ecfa.jpg

Audrey Flack – Normal Objects – Just Like US! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57473dc2f85082557b257eaa/5747426259827e092356148c/5751c9a227d4bd2a9b819cac/1469815453452/img134.jpg?format=1500w

What have you done to begin your final composition today? What ARTIST HABIT OF MIND are you thinking about – or maybe you are considering the levels in the rubric as you continue to develop your artistic skills? Janet Fish: 

AP Studio Art: Mid Crit – HANDS and Object

SHORT PARAGRAPHS PLEASE – The paragraphs are nice to see in the Art and Fear images on the website – short little descriptions to help the image along. We are always working to help our viewers understand. Where else do you need to explain your images? The AP TEST! This is practice!

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.

As you get your photographs back – what NEW materials are  you thinking about using? Are you going to try and use the techniques that you are already comfortable with? What are you doing to EXPAND and EXPLORE?

#Chicago and #VanGogh – #FieldTrip – #Grid #Ratio in the #ArtStudio

“If you don’t like change, you’ll like irrelevance even less”

General Eric Shinseki

Taliesin – Frank LLoyd Wright’s Home and School. A look at my weekend HERE!

Drawing: FAUVISM and CONTEMPORARY PORTRAITS!

Hello Lola! Alexi Jawlensky: http://en.wahooart.com/Art.nsf/O/8YDE4Y/$File/Alexei-Jawlensky-Lola.JPG

Goals:

  • G: 1.1Ac: Individually or collaboratively formulate new creative problems based on student’s existing artwork.

    • TOMORROW! We are going to 1) make photographs of the work we have RIGHT NOW and 2) go to the COMPUTER LAB (Laptops). Fill out the Google Form http://goo.gl/forms/3q3rPakz8m and then 3) insert images from today into the GOOGLE DOCUMENT.

Reflection: Are you taking pastels home? Where are you going to work on the drawing? What has been the HARDEST PART of the drawing?

Studio Art 360: COLOR and YOU!

Roy Lichtenstein – He actually USED other peoples cartoons to create his works that were, in some cases, about the Vietnam War – POP Art: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b7/Roy_Lichtenstein_Whaam.jpg

  •   7.1Ac: Recognize and describe personal aesthetic and empathetic responses to the natural world and constructed environments.
  • What do you think the CHALLENGES FOR YOU are going to be in how we DUPLICATE the image over to the canvas?

Reflection: What FOUR works have you chosen for the AP / SENIOR Exhibition? Have you been able to get your works mounted yet? What do you need to demonstrate to others to help them along in the process? 

Advanced Drawing: Critique? Draw?

How can you use the idea of the PORTRAIT to work up a new idea that has political or social implications? I don’t know if Alice Neel is trying that here but… it’s great figurative work: http://www.aliceneel.com/images/gallery/alice-self-portrait.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.
