HIT YOUR TARGET – If you miss – shoot again!

What goals have you set for yourself? Are they BIG and BOLD? Are they small and subtle? Regardless as to the goals you have, make them attainable – but not too easy… you may get bored, and not too difficult… you may get frustrated. Just make them a smidge out of reach so you have to stretch!

“No matter how many goals you have achieved, you must set your sights on a higher one.” – Jessica Savitch

Jasper Johns – All sorts of approaches to his goals. http://www.christies.com/lotfinderimages/d53152/d5315228l.jpg

Art Foundations 2D: EXTENDED DEADLINES – So long as the GREAT WORK continues.

Goals:

  1. 2.3 Resolve (extended deadline) your pastel drawing as you solve visual challenges. ALSO Consider the reflection on your works.

What was the most interesting thing you took away from this process of two point perspective, pastel drawing, microscopic images? Talk to your neighbor about the project and have a REAL discussion.

Drawing: EXTENDED DEADLINES – So long as the GREAT WORK continues.

Goals:

  1. 2.4 compare Kandinsky’s points of view and your theory regarding composition and meaning in artwork. This is going to be the PAPER you present for this work… BE THOUGHTFUL – Korb will bring you up to speed.

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? WRITE this out from the beginning of the hour. Has it Changed?

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES!

Happy Friday – Parent Teacher Conference – Morning!

I had such a wonderful time meeting with all the parents and students who came out last night to talk about, explain, and share the opportunities and growth that the visual arts classes have offered. I am really looking forward to more of that this morning. We will be in the gymnasium until 10 so come on down to visit and talk about the artwork, progress, opportunities, future that your budding artist is working through… and we can talk grades too.

Next Week:

Art Foundations: Microbiology – Microscopic Images and 2 Point Perspective – Up To The LARGE PAPER and Oil Pastels!

Drawing: Wassily Kandinski 2014 – What are you bringing to the theory of color and math?

AP Studio Art: One more week with your NEW concentration works – then FIGURE STUDIES!

All late work – let’s get that done! See me, call me, email me with any questions or concerns.
