#ContinuousLineContour #Drawings into #Paintings – What can you say about YOURSELF?

“When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.” — Zig Ziglar

Feeling overwhelmed? I can relate!

Studio Art 360 – BAS RELIEF SCULPTURE, Collage, Frottage, Grattage, and Decalcomania

If you are NOT done with your Photography CRITIQUE – Get it FINISHED!

LARGE GROUP Slide Show Project – Let’s SEE it HERE!

FINAL PHOTO CRITIQUE DUE DATE… Tuesday, December 2. I will be grading the critiques before then (2nd hour has been worked through) but NOTHING is in the books until AFTER December 2. If you have made changes to your document AFTER I have commented but BEFORE I enter the grades – NOTIFY COLLABORATORS through your Google Document (under File: EMail Collaborators…).

TEXTURE on a BAS RELIEF Sculpture!

Goals:

  • 1.1P: Use multiple approaches to begin creative endeavors.
  • What is the PARTICULAR of the social topic – BULLYING – that you and your partner came up with yesterday? Work through the sheets and WEBSITES to help your ideas get developed.
  • CHANGE IN PLANS! We are going to review and take time to work on your PHOTOGRAPHY CRITIQUES TODAY.
  •  In 3 sentences, please explain what EXECUTION mean to you when it comes to your ARTWORK?

What imagery did you come up with that truly begins to develop the idea of the social commentary on BULLYING? How does it successfully work?

How has taking the time on discussing the critique in more depth helped you (or not helped you) in understanding the ideas of a critique?

 NON-OBJECTIVE (Focus on BULLYING but use this to demonstrate the GATHERING of the textures – MUST BE “realistic” in nature): https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ltLnZB4N8wTwxcqF-aepyAdAjKsBYjrYzYP1HgDASvU/edit?usp=sharing

#Friday already? Well… not really, but #CloseEnough!

“The question for each man is not what he would do if he had the means, time, influence and educational advantages, but what he will do with the things he has.” — Frank Hamilton

Studio Art 360 – FINISH THE DRAWINGS – Mount them to Mats – Exhibit your work!

Now that you have a good understanding of drawing from OBSERVATION… How can you carry that FURTHER into the idea of OTHER objects and Still Life Paintings? Janet Fish has spent a career on that VERY IDEA! http://artandperception.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/fwf1.jpg

GOALS:

  • G: 4.1P: Analyze, select, and curate artifacts and/or artworks for presentation and preservation.
  • How do you feel about MATTING and PRESENTING your work? What sort of FINISH will putting a WHITE MATT around it do for your work? Give two ideas and explanations.

Why does the presentation of your final works make you PROUD or NOT PROUD? Please give a solid three sentence explanation to your answer.

Painting – Hallways – Wow – One More Day?

What makes this a more successful DRAWING than yesterdays? How do you see your abilities as you see a strong drawing like this one? What can you do?

GOALS:

  • 2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.
  • What EXPERIMENTS are you using as you make marks in the hallways? Are you finding NEW SKILLS you didn’t think you had? Explain the STRENGTH (in art terms) of your initial ROUGH drawing and Thumbnails.

What about today’s drawing makes for a successful drawing? Three reasons please. 

AP Studio Art – LECTURE TIME – Art and Fear – Sit and Chat about the challenges ahead of you.

What is the FOCAL POINT? What Elements is this artist using to create a sense of EMPHASIS or UNITY? https://artwithkorb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/755a3-dscf0129.jpg

GOALS:

  • 2.2Ad: Demonstrate understanding of the importance of balancing freedom and responsibility in the use of images, materials, tools, and equipment in the creation and circulation of creative work.
  • Looking at the hands and feet drawings – what can you do now – 3 things – to EMPHASIZE the FOCAL POINT through your use of CONTRAST?

Looking at the rubric from the AP Site – are you hitting the level 6 marks? What do you do SPECIFICALLY to match one of them (or not match one of them).

How do you see the work you are creating now improving or being more successful than the work you have done in the past?

GOALS

  1. 5.3 describe meanings of artworks by analyzing 5.3.1 techniques and 5.3.2 how they relate to history and culture

STEAM Education at Waterford Union High School

In two of our art classes, we have had the great opportunity to tie it ALL(most) together. Thanks to Ms. Lynn Neuman (math) and Mrs. Nancy Smith (Science) for their ideas and feedback.

Breanna A. – Science, English, and ART!

Art Foundations – Science / Engineering / Math / English and ART. They researched (flipped classroom of my videos) 2 point perspective (houses, buildings etc…) and learned the “rules.” Then they researched Scanning Electron Microscope images, we had a conversation about the results, they documented their sites, read a bit about it and then… they had to use the rules of perspective to interpret their microscopic image into and oil pastel drawing. The link is here: http://goo.gl/uRIS37

Jessica's Bauhaus Drawing!
Jessica’s Bauhaus Drawing!

Drawing – Using the HISTORY of Germany and Russia in the early 1900’s – WWII, the students studied the times and ideas behind the work of Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky. They studied the MATH / GEOMETRY / COLOR theory behind his works and came up with their own color theory. THEN… Music was the emotional impetus for the work. They listened first to music by Kandinsky’s contemporaries and got the ideas for abstraction and geometry. From there they worked their OWN music into the art. So lets see… Music / history / math / social studies (history)… oh.. and ENGLISH – they had to write up an explanation – Artist Statement about their work. The collaborative efforts can be seen in this presentation they worked out and engineered through Google Presentation… some of it MAY still be in the works! http://goo.gl/Jz15AT

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!
