#17 Drawing is About Mark Making โ€œEvery mark has a distinct character and quality.Every mark is a signature. Variations in pressure and weight is the visual equivalent of intonation. Marks, or lines, of consistent weight or thickness surrounding a figure or object will flatten the image. Tapering or breaking a line in a curve can connote a highlight or make the curve flow. Also, a tentative line will read as such. Give every mark or line authority and make sure it serves a purpose. Try to use only the marks you need.โ€ 101 Things Learned in Art School, Kit White, 2011, MIT Press

#EndOfTheWeek is NEAR! #Focus on the ideas and #ArtWork

Art has no boundaries except those imposed by the needs of the maker. Boundaries are a form of definition, nothing more. They are a way to create a hierarchy of concerns, interests and priorities. Boundaries change all the time. That is part of what art does. By defining an area of interest or by stating a new priority, art allows us to create new definitions of ourselves and the context in which we operate. To blur a boundary is to confuse the definition. To move a boundary is to make a new definition. Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School

#Monday in the #ArtStudio = #Work!

This week we are going to be finishing work up. Drawing, Studio Art 360, AP Studio Art… even Yearbook is moving forward quickly. To work on the ideas of MASTERING SKILLS one needs to be thoughtful about the work they are doing – it is NOT about getting the grade or making the work to please the teacher – it is about making the work to learn from your art making. How are you doing?
