What can you do? ANYTHING! (Except fly and turn into a robot.)

“Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing.” — John Andrew Holmes

You CAN do anything… you just have to DO IT!

Art Foundations: Color Scheme Drawing and CHUCK CLOSE Video.

Goals:

  1. 1.4 Initiate, define, and solve challenging visual arts problems using skills of (1.4.1) analysis (.2) synthesis (.3) evaluation.
  2. Identify the intentions and purposes behind making art.

How do you feel that your abilities to make art, based on observation were helped by the process of using the grid? What has held you back… where do you see that you can focus on improving (how do you see that you can focus on improving, in the creation of your artwork?

Advanced Drawing: Interior / Exterior Portrait – Rubric online AND National Gallery of Art

Morning Sun… How can you use this idea to focus on YOUR ideas?

Goals:

  2. 6.1 compare aspects of the visual arts with aspects of other disciplines through Mathematical Ratios and Transferring images / blending colors.

What was the most challenging thing about buyilding your ideas? What drew you into the work by Edward Hopper? What challenges do you fear with this work? What is most important about drawing when it comes to observation and photographic references?

AP Studio Art: Art and Fear – Of Sailors and Whales

Hey CHUCK… Look CLOSE at your skills and attitude… you CAN do ANYTHING!

“Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing.” — John Andrew Holmes

Go Puppy – You Can Do IT!

Art Foundations: Grid Drawings and Ratios

How can you use the individual squares to help create interest in the final product? (Student Work).

Goals:

  1. 1.2 Create art that demonstrates an understanding of how your ideas relate to the techniques (colored pencil layering and blending) and process (grid and drawing) you are using.

With one week of drawing for this work, what do you need to do in order to make strong progress in this project? How has your day to day work been helping or hindering your work? Recognize the attitude / effort of the day to day work and how it affects the finished product

Advanced Drawing: Edward Hopper and Portraits Hopper Exhibition at the Whitney AND National Gallery of Art

Edward Hopper, American (1882–1967) Nighthawks, 1942 Friends of American Art Collection, 1942.51 The Art Institute of Chicago Photography © The Art Institute of Chicago (http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/2007/hopper/hopperinfo-lg.jpg)

Goals:

  1. 1.4 Initiate, define, and solve challenging visual arts problems using skills of evaluation (What’s the imagery? What are you saying about yourself? How are we reading that? Why is it successful?.
  2. Identify the intentions and purposes behind making art.

AP Studio Art: One on One to resolve grades – Of Sailors and Whales /Art and Fear

WOW – What a great image! What’s your image coming along like? Have you listened to the music? (http://cdnimg.visualizeus.com/thumbs/f9/c9/painting,sea,ship,whale,texture,colour-f9c9c79e20a7112c9269778b6f6928ba_h.jpg?ts=93246)

Goals:

  1. 3.1 reflect on how your art differs (from your classmates) and describe how it relates to the BREADTH you have.
  2. 3.3 describe the creation of your images and ideas and how they work with your concentration.

What is the biggest challenge you see in the process of developing and making more than one artwork at a time? What is working to help be productive?

What are the self imposed limits you have?

  2. 6.1 compare aspects of the visual arts with aspects of other disciplines through Mathematical Ratios and Transferring images / blending colors

How do you see the work you are creating now improving or being more successful than the work you have done in the past? Do you REALLY think you are taking the time in drawing (sketchbooks) as being more thought out? Are you using techniques from our class elsewhere in your day-to-day making  of objects?.

Advanced Drawing: Self – Portrait Preliminary Drawings

Where might you want to be located? (http://cdn.dailypainters.com/paintings/self_portrait___magritte__interior_painting_by_k_m_interiors__still_life__0ba270a35bf03ee131073dc704debad5.jpg)

Goals:

  1. Identify the intentions and purposes behind making art.
  2. Create multiple solutions to visual challenges (of your self portrait!)

What was the most challenging way to draw? Why was this most difficult way to go? How OFF were you from the original that you drew from your memory? What is most important about drawing when it comes to observation?

AP Studio Art: Art and Fear / Of Sailors and Whales / Body of Work

One on One discussions with Mr. Korb about the past 6 weeks of works please. Let’s get caught up and share our ideas.

Oh No… a real big fish! (http://www.todayifoundout.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Moby-Dick-3.jpg)

Goals:

  2. 6.1 compare aspects of the visual arts with aspects of other disciplines through Mathematical Ratios and Transferring images

What are the challenges you have been having with this process? What colors have you begun using and how easy / hard has this been for you?. Did you need or offer help from / to a classmate? Collaboration is ESSENTIAL to solving problems.

Advanced Drawing: One more day to practice the FACE!

Facial Features… but YOU draw the entire face. Watch and Look… Impress me so we aren’t starting back at individual features. (http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/340/7/a/facial_features_by_arandadill-d4ib357.jpg)

What interests you? What sorts of locations are you comfortable in? What sorts of locations make you uncomfortable? What did you do today that brought the work to a place where you can understand what is going to happen?

AP Studio Art: Art and Fear, Website too…

Thar She Blows! (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/Moby_Dick_final_chase.jpg)

On your goal sheets…Think about your Art and Fear image and how it is coming. Also please consider the website you have been working on and think about how you are doing. If you need to make changes to your site – make sure you are making the changes. Are you ANY CHAPTERS behind in the Art and Fear Book? Make sure you are up to speed there. Take the last 5 minutes to talk with your neighbors about the meaning of your Art and Fear works – if you are struggling – ASK QUESTIONS and LISTEN to the conversations.

  2. 6.1 Work on mathematical ratios in art and KNOW WHY THIS WILL MAKE IT EASIER to process the drawing.

What part of the grid process is giving you difficulties? What part of the grid process is making it easier for you to create the work you are creating? How can you use this in the future? BALANCE: Please TEACH a classmate about the four different types of balance and talk about how you are using it in your composition.

~~~

DRAWING: We are working on the portraits, making photographs of our current work – posting them into our GOOGLE DOCS over the weekend and commenting on them, and learning about PASTELS and how we can use ARBITRARY COLORS to make them work in our portraits.

GOALS:

  1. 5.5 evaluate your personal and classmates responses to works of art for communicating ideas
  2. Communication and Collaboration – Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and to the learning of others. – WHO will we share our GOOGLE DRIVE DOCUMENTS WITH  (MONDAY) so we can begin COLLABORATIVE critiquing?
Andre Derain Self Portrait
