Goals:

  • G: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 do you need to do to get yourself ready for a WEDNESDAY due date?

What are the challenges you have been having with this process? What colors have you begun using and how easy / hard has this been for you? 

Painting – CANVAS CONSTRUCTION! Color Schemes and the RESOLUTION of the ABSTRACT Composition!

Brice Marden in his Studio – COLOR and LINE! AP… Any Thoughts? http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2006/10/29/arts/600_loos.jpg

Goals:

  • 2.2Ac: Demonstrate awareness of ethical implications of making and distributing creative work.
  • What can you say to someone who looks at your artwork (abstraction) and says something along the lines of “I Don’t Get It.” or “Anyone Can Do That!”

Today – Successful in the process? What is an interesting aspect of the layering or flattening of the acrylic paints? What did you accomplish today? 

AP Studio Art – Concentration Time!

Reflect on what you are doing… http://www.clevelandseniors.com/images/funny/art-thief/van-gogh-painting.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.

What did you accomplish today? What do you need to do tomorrow, over the weekend? How can you develop your OWN voice? What does the BREADTH work do to help you find that VOICE in your concentration? Self-Reflection…

Studio Art 360 – Color Schemes and POP Art

Mark Rothko in the STUDIO. What a GREAT BIG CANVAS! http://cloud.lomography.com/576/435/8b/70e4bf5f5f752f84ecd8eae677822dd43e790c.jpg

Goals:

  • G: 1.1P: Use multiple approaches to begin creative endeavors.
  • How do you feel using MULTIPLE APPROACHES to the creative process helped you or challenged you in coming up with your compositions?

Do you feel going through a PROCESS is a STRONG way to begin an artwork (or anything else) or  simply a waste of time – you have a “just do it” sort of approach. Explain your answer. 

Painting – CANVAS CONSTRUCTION! Color Schemes and the RESOLUTION of the ABSTRACT Composition!

Here we are DRAWING with INK on a LARGE SHEET OF PAPER – Thanks Brice Marden! ABSTRACTION! http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81CIvE3XoYL._SL1500_.jpg

Goals:

  •  2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.
  • Consider the layering and transparency of the images / colors… what does this visually do for you, the painter? What does it do visually for the audience?

As you look back on the construction of the canvas, what are especially happy about as you built your own?

AP Studio Art – Concentration Time!

Calder and his CIRCUS! What a GREAT idea to CONCENTRATE on! Fun! http://whitney.org/image_columns/0002/4353/alexandercalderinstallview1_600_1200.jpg?1369062947

GOALS:

  • 1.2Ad: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices, following or breaking established conventions, to plan the making of multiple works of art and design based on a theme, idea, or concept.
  • Have you DISCOVERED ANYTHING new about your ideas for your concentration today, this week, as you have been working. I’ve had MANY great conversations with each almost each of you… what do you take away from them?

What are your questions about making your statement ONLINE? Do you have an idea how to access your ONLINE portion of the website?
