Abstraction – -Color Schemes – What can you do? What did Max Ernst do?

GOALS:

  2. 2.6 Work on creating multiple solutions to solve visual challenges.

What is the topic that that you focused on today? How do you think that you are going to be able to create an abstract work of art based on the idea? Why does abstract art look so easy? Why do you feel it is going to be hard?

Drawing: Critique Day! What have you got? What are you going to be talking about? What are you going to be LISTENING FOR?

GOALS:

  1. 2.1 form criticism about artworks that work to accomplish personal meanings (what are you trying to communicate?)
  2. 5.5 Evaluate responses to works of art for communicating rationale and ideas.

What have you taken away from today’s critique? What came from this past week’s worth of work? What did you learn about the ideas of your own work / ideas / work from the instructor with specific goals and intentions in mind? Easy? Hard? What made it worthwhile?

~~~

AP Studio Art: Continue with the Artist Statement and SEE the use of the NAMETAGS (Google DRIVE – NEW – FROM TEMPLATE – KORB Art Nametags – LINK). Get out your art and let’s have a conversation…

Who is the ARTIST? What is the YEAR this was painted in? What is the MEDIUM? What is the SCALE? Who were the DONORS? The information can all be found on the tiny little card next to the painting. 10 extrat credit points if you give me ALL that information by Wednesday Morning VIA Email: fkorb@waterforduhs.k12.wi.us.

GOALS:

  1. 2.1 form criticism about artworks that work to accomplish 2.1.1 commercial or 2.1.2 personal meanings (thanks Jennifer for the correction from yesterday)

What are you struggling with regarding the use of the ARTIST STATEMENT? (Link to the HANDBOOK HERE – PAGES 28 and 29… right Bryan?). What is challenging about the ideas of putting to WORD what you were trying to express in ART? Talk about your works with your classmates… maybe the conversation will help.

Art Foundations: How are you using the grid to help you create your art? Is it helping you or is it making it too hard? This is something that some of you have spoken about… it being difficult… it being easy… Analysis!

GOALS:

  1. 1.1 apply media (colored pencil), techniques (grid), and processes (one square at a time) with an 1.1.3 awareness so that your ideas are executed well.

What is the most successful aspect of your drawing? Did the slowing down and working one square at a time help you to better understand the image you were drawing? Why or why not?
