Studio Art 360 – Color Wheel – Let’s Look at the COLOR WHEEL and PAINT!

Complementary Colors and a Product you all love? Hmmm…
What’s Warhol doing with the can of soup? http://enpundit.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Campbells-Soups-Andy-Warhol-4.jpeg

Goals:

  • 3.1P: Apply relevant criteria from traditional and contemporary cultural contexts to examine, reflect on, and plan revisions for works of art and design in progress.
  • What images have you brought in today? Why are these products important to you? How do you feel they fit into the experiences of the rest of society? Popular Culture?

What color schemes do you relate to the most? WHY? Share this with your classmate!

Painting – Color Schemes and the RESOLUTION of the ABSTRACT Compostion

This is MONDRIAN… the one we know and love! But… what about Richard Dibenkorn? http://www.theartstory.org/images20/works/mondrian_piet_4.jpg

Goals:

  • 7.1Ac: Recognize and describe personal aesthetic and empathetic responses to the natural world and constructed environments.
  • Looking back on the past week – what are the strongest aspects of using a REAL space to begin to develop an ABSTRACT composition? How can you see this process as being one that can help you develop NEW ideas in the development of  your OWN ideas and FUTURE artwork?

What do you especially LIKE / DISLIKE about the ideas you have created in your artwork? What do you especially LIKE or DISLIKE about the ideas of ABSTRACTING from REALITY?

AP Studio Art – Level 6 CRITIQUE – Are you UP TO IT?

Goals:

  • 6.1Ad: Curate a collection of objects, artifacts, or artwork to impact the viewer’s understanding of social, cultural, and/or political experiences.
  • Monday we begin to photograph and document the works we have started. What inspiration have you found in seeing works of other artists? In real life? Online?

What challenges do you see you begin to consider your own body of work? How are you going to approach the ideas of the CRITERIA and FOCUS? What are QUESTIONS you have about the process?

Studio Art 360 – Color Theory – Let’s Look at the COLOR WHEEL and PAINT!

Pablo Picasso and the ROSE period – http://www.dailyartfixx.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Acr%C3%B3bata-y-joven-arlequ%C3%ADn-Pablo-Picasso-Rose-Period-1905.jpg

Goals:

  • 3.1P: Apply relevant criteria from traditional and contemporary cultural contexts to examine, reflect on, and plan revisions for works of art and design in progress.
  • Why is it important for an artist to choose colors CAREFULLY as they are developing a composition / artwork? What might the RIGHT colors do in an impage versus the “wrong” colors?  

Review with neighbors the relationships of the colors on the color wheel? When you look in your closet… what COLORS do you think you have the most of hanging? Why do you think that you have more of that color than others? Assignment – FOR FRIDAY REPEAT THE ASSIGNMENT from above… Something that is of interest to you.

REMEMBER! ASSIGNMENT FOR FRIDAY – Bring in a COUPLE of COLOR ADVERTISEMENT that demonstrates a specific use of COLOR SCHEMES and is of a PRODUCT that YOU FIND IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE! Like THIS or THIS

Painting – Color Schemes and the RESOLUTION of the ABSTRACT Compostion

Modrian is REALLY simplifying the images – -How about you? http://www.theartstory.org/images20/works/mondrian_piet_3.jpg

Goals:

  • 1.2Ac: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design.
  • What are the relationships you are seeing in the beginnings of the space you are creating? How do you see the use of color as an important part of the conceptual / idea process?

Looking at the space you have created, how do you describe the FEELING / EMOTION you have begun to create? Strong sense of space? Easy to “read” ideas? Give EXAMPLES – at least two.

AP Studio Art – Level 6 Drawing – Are you UP TO IT?

Critique? – TOMORROW! Resolve ToDAY! https://artwithkorb.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/leobcrit.jpg

Goals:

  • 4.2Ad: Critique, justify, and present choices in the process of analyzing, selecting, curating, and presenting artwork for a specific exhibit or event.
  • As you hang up your work… consider three things are really successful about the work you have created. What is ONE thing you might change about YOUR work? What is ONE suggestion you will offer to your fellow AP Artists?

What is the body of work you feel you will be working on this year in AP Studio Art? Drawing / 2D Design? What about your Hands and Feet drawing can you speak about that would explain the relationship that you see in that type of portfolio?

Studio Art 360 – Color Theory – How do colors work? WRAP up NOTECARDS! Let’s Look at the COLOR WHEEL and PAINT!

GREAT use of COLLAGE to design a color wheel. I’ve got a feeling we will do the same at the end of the Color Unit! https://artwithkorb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/a4228-dsc01433.jpg

Goals:

  • 1.2P: Shape an artistic investigation of an aspect of present-day life using a contemporary practice of art or design.
  • Review with your neighbor the relationships of color on the color wheel What are the PRIMARY Colors, SECONDARY colors, and TERTIARY Colors? WRITE THEM DOWN!

Review with neighbors the relationships of the colors on the color wheel? QUIZ one another on the names, types and relationships of the colors. What were the most CHALLENGING COLORS for you to mix? Which were the easiest to work with?

ASSIGNMENT FOR FRIDAY – Bring in a COUPLE of COLOR ADVERTISEMENT that demonstrates a specific use of COLOR SCHEMES and is of a PRODUCT that YOU FIND IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE! Like THIS or THIS

Painting – Color Schemes and the RESOLUTION of the ABSTRACT Compostion

Are you able to see any TREE or Landscape in this work? I believe that MODRIAN was still referencing the REAL to come up with the ABSTRACT. http://www.theartstory.org/

Goals:

  • 1.2Ac: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design.
  • Does the use of LINE become the DOMINANT element in your artwork or are you seeing other elements as coming to the forefront of the composition?

What color scheme have you begun to think about? Why? how does it DESCRIBE YOUR feelings toward the SIMPLIFICATION of the SPACE / SURROUNDINGS?

AP Studio Art – Level 6 Drawing – Are you UP TO IT?

What do you see as the positive space? The negative space? Push and Pull of the space. How are you playing with the ideas of space in your composition? https://www.artdoxa.com/anniehowelladams/large?page=1

Goals:

  • 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.
  • Positive and Negative Space. Line Quality. Shape and Form. Unity. Emphasis. What are the ELEMENTS / PRINCIPLES that you are seeing develop in the work? What are the Conceptual ideas about the use of objects to create an intriguing work?

After 3 days of SOLID work – After seeing a 6 (5) on the AP Rubric and reading about what it takes to “score” that high… what is ONE thing you have learned about yourself / the process / the ideas of making successful work that REVOLVE around DRAWING / 2D Design Criteria?

A long time coming… Thanks Painting Class 2008 – 2009

Waterford Union High School in Oil Painting class of 2008 – 2009

The painting class of 2008 – 2009 took the challenge of creating a series of works that documented their high school and challenged their understanding of how to use oil paints, mediums, power tools, and the very challenging linear perspective as they composed their images. BEginning with a long walk and conversation about composition, the artists came up with their favorite angles of the building and developed their own ideas for the image as they were faced with the challenge of their school as the subject matter. From photography and thumbnail sketches, teamwork and construction of the canvases, the artists created a wide variety of compositions using all the different skills and techniques they had in their art toolbox. Thanks to the following artists for their hard and dedicated work creating a strong and successful body of work. Each one of them created a unique and individual viewpoint of the building that gave them so many memories and skills to last a lifetime. Thank you Waterford Union High School artists.
