#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

Drawing: German Expressionism and WORK!

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

AAaaargh: That is a scary mug! What can YOUR’s look like? http://www.multyshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/unique-mugs16.jpg

How have you researched and developed the ideas into your OWN idea versus someone else’s?

AP Studio Art: Concentration begins TODAY!

NETS: Use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively.

With a lot to accomplish in two weeks and little input from me… how are you going to manage your time effectively? Website can be done on own time. Sketching / making art – own time / study hall / before / after school…

#KORB is #GONE on #FRIDAY? #Sad.

“Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth.” — Julie Andrews

Drawing: Soft Pastels

7.2Ac: Evaluate the effectiveness of an image or images to influence ideas, feelings, and behaviors of specific audiences.

Reflect on YESTERDAY as you began your ideas on paper. What are your OVERALL IDEAS that you hope to communicate?

Biggest struggle / success for today? Write it out and the WHY! 

MILWAUKEE: http://mam.org/kandinsky/

  1. Blending ANALOGOUS colors with and without finger blending
  2. Blending COMPLEMENTS with and without finger blending
  3. Straight and Curved lines with the TIPS and with the SIDES of the pastels
  4. Filling large areas with a color and then doing smaller details over the top with another DIFFERENT color
  5. Blending with CIRCULAR marks as well as BACK AND FORTH marks
  6. Using PAPER as a masking tool
  7. Adding a WHITE HIGHLIGHT over a darker colored surface
  8. Working UPRIGHT on an easel versus on the FLAT on a table top
  9. Cleaning your pastels with paper towel
  10. Experiment on your own – use your initial images of SKETCHING for the VISUAL experiment inspiration
  11. CLEANING with SPRAY and a CLOTH RAG – that’s not an exercise but a technique that will clean a lot faster than paper towel

Studio Art 360: Character Mugs and COLOR WHEEL

What strengths did you develop in your drawing today? What three things do you look at with your drawing and say – “Hey… that’s not so bad!”

 

AP Studio Art: WORK on CONCENTRATION

 

Reflect: Learning to think and talk with others about an aspect of one’s work or working process, and learning to judge one’s own work and working process and the work of others.

I gave you time to work yesterday and today – MAKE THE MOST OF IT. What do you need to do today?
