3 Weeks Left of 1st Quarter!

Art is the product of process. “Whether conceptual, experimental, emotional, or formal, the process you develop yields the image you produce. The materials you choose, the methods of production, and the sources of the images should all reflect the interests that command your attention. The process does not stop with each work completed. It is ongoing. The cumulative result of that process is a body of work.” Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School

Drawing: Crit and FACIAL FEATURES

1.1Ac: Individually or collaboratively formulate new creative problems based on student’s existing artwork.

When it comes to drawing the FACE, what features do you have the hardest time with? Why do you think that you have the hardest time with that feature?

Facial Features: DRAW! https://rightbrainedmom.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/img_7777-1.jpg?w=768

Still Life of SHOES – Lots and Lots of SHOES! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/98/03/0f/98030f07c90c3c1e86cf52b5cb24f2b8.jpg

AP Studio Art: Peregrine Honig and YOU – NATURE and Art

7.2Ad: Determine the commonalities within a group of artists or visual images attributed to a particular type of art, time frame, or culture.

#Creativity in the #ArtStudio – This is all about #You and your #Efforts

All of the thinking about “Creativity” is about you and how you approach the process and product of your work. Your final product is only part of the the success of your work. What else is it about? The preliminary drawings you make, the attitude you walk into the studio with, the way you approach each and every day. The final work isn’t even the most important part of the work – the PROCESS in the importance of the work. Get to work!

#Friday! #Critiques are HERE! WooHoo!

#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

Drawing: Critique – Let’s Try a SMALL GROUP approach today.

#Monday in the #ArtStudio = #Work!

This week we are going to be finishing work up. Drawing, Studio Art 360, AP Studio Art… even Yearbook is moving forward quickly. To work on the ideas of MASTERING SKILLS one needs to be thoughtful about the work they are doing – it is NOT about getting the grade or making the work to please the teacher – it is about making the work to learn from your art making. How are you doing?
