Welcome back to the school year. I really look forward to all the classes and art that were going to experience together.

#Friday – Good day to be #Outside / #PleinAir – #AP Scores! Woo Hoo!

AP Studio Scores are in – I am impressed with the results.  9 / 10 3’s or better. Excellent year of art production!

HOMEWORK on MONDAY! Looking at and researching artists is an IMPORTANT way to learn about the past and develop your own skills for the future. This is not a huge task folks… it is fun research. Remember… you are in Summer Studio NOT because you WANT to earn the .25 credit but to be a stronger artist. This is how it happens.

SUMMER STUDIO WEEK 3: This was a very productive week for having only 3 days to be in studio. I am proud of the dedicated work these artists are putting forth. 3 hours is a good chunk of time to commit to the creation of artwork in the field (I am certain that some of them would like to have that during the regular studio time in the school year). These are photos from the week – Enjoy!

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.

Shane Koyczan – TED Talk “To This Day”... for the Bullied and Beautiful… “If you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror, look a little closer, stare a little longer, because there’s something inside you that makes you keep trying despite everyone who told you to quit.”

Drawing: Nests – ONE more day?

9.1Ac: Determine the relevance of criteria used by others to evaluate a work of art or collection of works.

Well… Grab a RUBRIC II – and begin your self evaluation – AFTER you have taken a few 15 – 20 minutes to do written evaluation of 4 works of art – make sure your written critiques use ACTIONABLE / CRITICAL / IMPROVEMENT type statements. Let’s start this critique then. Get the work up in front of us and you lead the way. KORB will sit and listen… Keep time Korb.

Studio Art 360: Sketchbook Tuesday

2.1P: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.

What are 3 things about your SKETCHBOOK that you are VERY PLEASED with? What are 3 things you WANT TO IMPROVE ON?

Color: Begin by drawing out three 7” x 4” FORMAT BOXES on three pages in your sketchbook. Divide your format box up by using 7 straight or curved lines. Do the same on the next two pages. On the first page, use one color scheme (page 29 in your handbook)of watercolor paints and fill the spaces in. On the second page, choose another color scheme and do the same. Lastly, on the third page – use whatever colors you want. When they are all dry – either define the lines with black sharpie marker (thick / thin / variety) or crayons that are of similar color scheme. When you evaluate this assignment – consider the successfulness of the works that have a specific color scheme in comparison to the one without a specific color scheme.

How much time OUTSIDE of class do you feel you are going to need for NEXT WEEKS DUE DATE?  What DAY are you going to work on that? Maybe 5 – 10 minutes PER day? What benefits would LITTLE bits of time do versus ONE BIG HUGE TIME? 

 

Advanced Drawing: 50 SoP WORK 

2.2Ad: Demonstrate understanding of the importance of balancing freedom and responsibility in the use of images, materials, tools, and equipment in the creation and circulation of creative work.
