#Friday and you leave at #Noon! WooHoo for You! End of #1stQuarter in the #ArtStudio

#28: An idea is only as good as its execution. It is important that you master your medium. Poorly made work will either ruin a good idea or make the lamentable execution itself the subject. Overly finessed technique can mask a lack of content or can smother an image. At the same time, roughness and imprecision has its place in rendering. One can only gauge the need to throw technique away if one has first achieved the mastery of it. Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School

Studio Art 360: Hands on with CLAY!

Ed Hamilton’s Website – Making of a Bas Relief Sculpture

Close Up – How are you working with this idea of SCULPTURE? http://edhamiltonworks.com/images/lincoln/bas_relief/slave_10_detail.jpg

Goals:

  • 1.2P: Shape an artistic investigation of an aspect of present-day life using a contemporary practice of art or design.
  • What has been your FAVORITE or LEAST FAVORITE part of working with clay. Please tell me WHY you LOVE or DON’T LOVE using this material. Please be specific.

What do you see as needing to be RESOLVED for the end of the project TOMORROW? Know that it is the LAST day to work.
