Kandinsky and POST Bauhaus: http://media.guggenheim.org/content/New_York/exhibitions/2011/decisiverose_490x235.jpg

Art is an adventure into the unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take risks.”

– Mark Rothko

Drawing: MID-CRIT on Kandinsky

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

As this develops, how are your ideas and Kandinsky’s similar and how are they different? What might you take away from this experience? How can you share that idea with the world?

Studio Art 360: Color Scheme Worksheets and WRAP UP

7.1P: Hypothesize ways in which art influences perception and understanding of human experiences.

How do we ORGANIZE colors? What is all of this going to do to help you create more organized and unified works?

Advanced Drawing: Arms and Legs (Bones)

2.1Ad: Experiment, plan, and make multiple works of art and design that explore a personally meaningful theme, idea, or concept.

Back to the LONG BONE of the FEMUR – How can you use your understanding of the BONES of the ARMS and LEGS to help you make sure the DRAWING work – Look at the bending portions of the leg and arm… REALLY LOOK.

AP Studio Art: DEMO of MOUNTING

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.

 

We are going to take a BREAK from the conversation and demonstrate the mounting of work. What pieces will you choose to mount? Why? What are your 5 BEST most SUCCESSFUL works?

Drawing: Kandinsky and your ideas

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

Studio Art 360: Sketchbook Tuesday

2.1P: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan. What STRUGGLES do you have with OBSERVATION? How about VALUE?

Sketchbook Assignment Page  We are working on the SKETCHBOOKS today (Page 20) – Sketchbook Tuesday. WORK! Help your neighbor as you go along. ONE COLOR SCHEME – Let’s Look at Page 29 and REVIEW them all.

Grab a hammer, screwdriver, wrench, some sort of toolbox type of tool and draw it based on careful observation. Make sure that you spend some quality time looking at the object and then also consider the space in the background. What are you doing to fill that space? Please look at Jim Dine’s artworks about tools: https://goo.gl/xYYksN – Focus on the tool drawings.

How are you considering the ideas about COMPOSITION as you create your artwork? How does the imagery we saw from Jim Dine give you permission to do NEW things and NEW ideas for your composition?

Advanced Drawing: Skeletons and the TORSO

2.1Ad: Experiment, plan, and make multiple works of art and design that explore a personally meaningful theme, idea, or concept.

What do you think will be most difficult about the TORSO portion of the body to draw? Why is this so?

How are you able to make reference to the SKULL as you are drawing the torso / ribs and abdomen?

AP Studio Art: Critique – Let’s Talk

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.

We began yesterday with a few presentations – you are now on your own. Take the period to do your presentations with one another – One of you will keep track of comments / suggestions / another will keep track of time. This is all on you – real AP Level conversations that are FOCUSED and ATTENTIVE to the tasks at hand. GO!

AP Studio Art: Critique Days – I hope the extra Two days were HELPFUL

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.

Grab the 4 part PRE-Critique Worksheets and (on your own pacing) go for the next 28 – 20 minutes to critique one another’s work. What response do you have regarding your studio mate’s  works – really – that can help them see things that they might not see – things that might help them continue to learn from their own works and marks? NO KID GLOVES.

Presentations to the studio from the website – answer the questions from AP and present the work that has been created. G: Nothing – reflected on work that was produced.

Studio Art 360: Sketchbook Tuesday

2.1P: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.

https://youtu.be/rH-hW7nOHOw

What are 3 things about your SKETCHBOOK that you are VERY PLEASED with? What are 3 things you WANT TO IMPROVE ON?

Color: Begin by drawing out three 7” x 4” FORMAT BOXES on three pages in your sketchbook. Divide your format box up by using 7 straight or curved lines. Do the same on the next two pages. On the first page, use one color scheme (page 29 in your handbook)of watercolor paints and fill the spaces in. On the second page, choose another color scheme and do the same. Lastly, on the third page – use whatever colors you want. When they are all dry – either define the lines with black sharpie marker (thick / thin / variety) or crayons that are of similar color scheme. When you evaluate this assignment – consider the successfulness of the works that have a specific color scheme in comparison to the one without a specific color scheme.

Shane Koyczan – TED Talk “To This Day”... for the Bullied and Beautiful… “If you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror, look a little closer, stare a little longer, because there’s something inside you that makes you keep trying despite everyone who told you to quit.”

Drawing: Nests – ONE more day?

G:  3.1Ac: Engage in constructive critique with peers, then reflect on, re-engage, revise, and refine works of art and design in response to personal artistic vision. A: Looking at the still life in front of you, what is the one aspect of it that you are most pleased with? Why are you so pleased with how you handled the materials and composition? What do you need to TOUCH UP TODAY! Crit Tomorrow!

Look, Critique, Reflect... FINISH your work for tomorrow! https://i0.wp.com/www.artic.edu/sites/default/files/styles/slideshow_scale/public/cal_TP_crit_360.png

Studio Art 360: Still Life CRITQUE

8.1P: Interpret an artwork or collection of works, supported by relevant and sufficient evidence found in the work and its various contexts.

As artists, we are in it for the process of MAKING ART, not necessarily worrying about the finished product. How do you feel about the idea of  PROCESS versus PRODUCT? 

 

Advanced Drawing: 50 SoP WORK

 G: 6.1Ac: Make, explain, and justify connections between artists or artwork and social, cultural, and political history.

This is the LAST WEEK on this drawing – I think we are LONG past the original time it was planned for. That’s OK – BUT – WHAT DO YOU REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON TO BE READY FOR MONDAY’S CRITIQUE? Seriously… CRIT on MONDAY!

Were you able to get 3 things accomplished today that help you see you are on the right path for completion? Is there a good amount of work to finish? STAY ON TASK. 

AP Studio Art: Concentration CRITIQUE (and PLAN)

10.1Ad: Synthesize knowledge of social, cultural, historical, and personal life with art-making approaches to create meaningful works of art or design.

Well… Grab a RUBRIC IV – AP Studio Art and begin your self evaluation – AFTER you have taken a few 12 minutes to do  written evaluation of 4 works of art – make sure your written critiques use ACTIONABLE / CRITICAL / IMPROVEMENT type statements. Your sticky notes from last time were, in some cases weak and unproductive. Let’s start this critique then. Get the work up in front of us and you lead the way. KORB will sit and listen… Keep time Korb.

Critique - You do the work... I do the listening... and time keeping. https://i0.wp.com/www.saic.edu/media/saic/gfx/admissions/whysaic-undergrad/critiquereplace.jpg
