Week 10 – Welcome to 4th Quarter

I can choose solutions to problems and describe the impact of my choices on myself and others.

51: Learn the basic principles of color. There are three primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. They are the building blocks of all other colors. The secondary colors are violet (blue and red), green (blue and yellow), and orange (red and yellow). They are composed by the equal mixture of two primaries. All other colors are referred to as tertiary, because they are mixtures of a primary and a secondary color. Kit White 101 Things to Learn in Art School

#17 Drawing is About Mark Making “Every 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.” 101 Things Learned in Art School, Kit White, 2011, MIT Press

What kind of mark making are you making?

“Advice about your paintings is difficult.  As I said before, I cannot interest myself in whether they will pass juries or not. More paintings have been spoiled during the process of their making, through such considerations, than the judgements of juries are worth.” – Robert Henri – Artist / Art Teacher

Welcome to Homecoming Week. I will be donning my costumes for the week – will you? Lots of artwork coming due this and next week. Let’s keep up the hard work and make ourselves proud. You guys have worked hard and are learning the process behind making art. Keep working! – Mr. Korb

#Thursday. One More day and then #Weekend #StudioTime

“Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightening to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself.” Chuck Close

Thursday is here and the work is coming along. I have strong hopes that as the year progresses you are able to see the work you are creating as an important part of all that you do. Some of you, making art is essential to your day, for some of you it is an hour in the day. Let’s make it worth your while and essential to your day! Mr. Korb

Drawing: Book pages and Book Drawing

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

What do you need to do TODAY? Hurry to get it done – BUT WELL! Can you add color, texture, images to the book pages?

What needs doing? Passes? Come in to finish? Take home?

Studio Art 360: Zentangles, Pattern, and Animals

1.2P: Shape an artistic investigation of an aspect of present-day life using a contemporary practice of art or design.

How satisfied are you with your 5” x 5” design? Do you see new and unique ways to make lines and be more aware of the marks that you are making in the art that you are making?
