Art Foundations: Grid Drawings and Ratios

Goals:

1. 1.2 Create art that demonstrates an understanding of how your ideas relate to the techniques (colored pencil layering and blending) and process (grid and drawing) you are using.

With one week of drawing for this work, what do you need to do in order to make strong progress in this project? How has your day to day work been helping or hindering your work? Recognize the attitude / effort of the day to day work and how it affects the finished product

Advanced Drawing: Edward Hopper and Portraits Hopper Exhibition at the Whitney AND National Gallery of Art

Goals:

1. 1.4 Initiate, define, and solve challenging visual arts problems using skills of evaluation (What’s the imagery? What are you saying about yourself? How are we reading that? Why is it successful?.
2. Identify the intentions and purposes behind making art.

AP Studio Art: One on One to resolve grades – Of Sailors and Whales /Art and Fear

Goals:

1. 3.1 reflect on how your art differs (from your classmates) and describe how it relates to the BREADTH you have.
2. 3.3 describe the creation of your images and ideas and how they work with your concentration.

What is the biggest challenge you see in the process of developing and making more than one artwork at a time? What is working to help be productive?

Art Foundations: Color Scheme Drawings in Colored Pencil

Goals:

1. 4.4 Evaluate and interpret art for its relationship in meanings showing understanding of the work of various art professionals (how different artists make different works).
2. 6.1 compare aspects of the visual arts with aspects of other disciplines through Mathematical Ratios and Transferring images / blending colors

How do you see the work you are creating now improving or being more successful than the work you have done in the past? Do you REALLY think you are taking the time in drawing (sketchbooks) as being more thought out? Are you using techniques from our class elsewhere in your day-to-day making  of objects?.

Advanced Drawing: Self – Portrait Preliminary Drawings

Goals:

1. Identify the intentions and purposes behind making art.
2. Create multiple solutions to visual challenges (of your self portrait!)

What was the most challenging way to draw? Why was this most difficult way to go? How OFF were you from the original that you drew from your memory? What is most important about drawing when it comes to observation?

AP Studio Art: Art and Fear / Of Sailors and Whales / Body of Work

One on One discussions with Mr. Korb about the past 6 weeks of works please. Let’s get caught up and share our ideas.

Goals:

1. 3.1 reflect on how your art differs and describe how it relates to the Breadth you have begun.
2. 3.3 describe the creation of your images and ideas and how they work with your breadth work.

Review the BREADTH works you have developed at this point and compare your thoughts with your classmates.

Art Foundations: Grids and Math

Goals:

1. 1.2 Create art that demonstrates an understanding of how your ideas relate to the techniques (colored pencil layering) and process (grid and drawing) you are using.
2. 6.1 compare aspects of the visual arts with aspects of other disciplines through Mathematical Ratios and Transferring images

What are the challenges you have been having with this process? What colors have you begun using and how easy / hard has this been for you?. Did you need or offer help from / to a classmate? Collaboration is ESSENTIAL to solving problems.

Advanced Drawing: One more day to practice the FACE!

Goals:

1. 1.4 Initiate, define, and solve challenging visual arts problems using skills of (1.4.1) analysis (.2) synthesis (.3) evaluation.
2. (5.1) Identify the intentions and purposes behind making art.

What interests you? What sorts of locations are you comfortable in? What sorts of locations make you uncomfortable? What did you do today that brought the work to a place where you can understand what is going to happen?

AP Studio Art: Art and Fear, Website too…

Goals:

1. 2.6 create multiple solutions to visual challenges that show understanding in relationships between composition and meaning of artwork
2. 6.1 compare aspects of the visual arts with aspects of other disciplines by being inspired by  music and text.

On your goal sheets…Think about your Art and Fear image and how it is coming. Also please consider the website you have been working on and think about how you are doing. If you need to make changes to your site – make sure you are making the changes. Are you ANY CHAPTERS behind in the Art and Fear Book? Make sure you are up to speed there. Take the last 5 minutes to talk with your neighbors about the meaning of your Art and Fear works – if you are struggling – ASK QUESTIONS and LISTEN to the conversations.
