1.2Ac: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design.

Of the shapes we are using, which one is STRONG and why? Which shape describes a passive quality? Why? Are you using Impression, Improvisation, or Composition? What about the use of shapes? Melodic or Symphonic?

How are you beginning to use the ideas of color and shape to communicate your ideas from your song?

MILWAUKEE: http://mam.org/kandinsky/

 

  1. Blending ANALOGOUS colors with and without finger blending
  2. Blending COMPLEMENTS with and without finger blending
  3. Straight and Curved lines with the TIPS and with the SIDES of the pastels
  4. Filling large areas with a color and then doing smaller details over the top with another DIFFERENT color
  5. Blending with CIRCULAR marks as well as BACK AND FORTH marks
  6. Using PAPER as a masking tool
  7. Adding a WHITE HIGHLIGHT over a darker colored surface
  8. Working UPRIGHT on an easel versus on the FLAT on a table top
  9. Cleaning your pastels with paper towel
  10. Experiment on your own – use your initial images of SKETCHING for the VISUAL experiment inspiration
  11. CLEANING with SPRAY and a CLOTH RAG – that’s not an exercise but a technique that will clean a lot faster than paper towel

AP Studio Art: WORK on CONCENTRATION

Reflect: Learning to think and talk with others about an aspect of one’s work or working process, and learning to judge one’s own work and working process and the work of others.

What response do you have regarding your studio mate’s  works – really – that can help them see things that they might not see – things that might help them continue to learn from their own works and marks? Take 5 minutes and walk around – take a look – make some thoughts for MONDAY (the extended deadline).
