What have you done in the past three weeks that has interested you enough to make a small series of works about?
Create a small series of works that are based on your own personal experiences of plein air summer studio. Plan on 3 works for the final week of class and HANG A SHOW on Thursday.
Work on your own and LET ME KNOW where you are going to be.
Look at today and reflect on the experiences that you have had to create the work. What are you pleased with and where are you feeling you need work?
AP Studio Scores are in – I am impressed with the results. 9 / 10 3’s or better. Excellent year of art production!
HOMEWORK on MONDAY! Looking at and researching artists is an IMPORTANT way to learn about the past and develop your own skills for the future. This is not a huge task folks… it is fun research. Remember… you are in Summer Studio NOT because you WANT to earn the .25 credit but to be a stronger artist. This is how it happens.
SUMMER STUDIO WEEK 3: This was a very productive week for having only 3 days to be in studio. I am proud of the dedicated work these artists are putting forth. 3 hours is a good chunk of time to commit to the creation of artwork in the field (I am certain that some of them would like to have that during the regular studio time in the school year). These are photos from the week – Enjoy!
Develop Craft: Learning to use tools, materials, artistic conventions; and learning to care for tools, materials, and space.
What are you going to be looking at and dealing with as we look at foreground, middleground, and background? How have you improved / learned your skills in the 1) creating of art with supplies and 2) coming up with new and innovative compositions as we work outside?
Quick reflection at the end of the hours as a group. Next week we will be out on our own – wherever you want to be you will be. I’ll be scooting around on the scooter. Be ready to let me know where you’re going to be.
