Art Foundations: What interests you? What is your passion? What do you do to keep yourself entertained? What do you do that you are proud of? Think of something that you can use as the basis for your cityscape.
We have learned it all… where to go from here. Take a moment and, with a partner, look at this and see if you can figure out all the different techniques we have learned and how you can draw them out.
GOALS:
1.2 create NON-LINEAR perspective images inside of a 2 point perspective drawing that demonstrates an understanding of the 1.2.3 processes you use
Review with your partner / neighbor the process of drawing in 2 Point Perspective – what do you struggle with still? How did you work through the problems you had?
~~~
Drawing:
What was the biggest problem you had yesterday? Was getting the entire figure on the page easy or challenging to you? Let’s see if we can figure out a better way to PLAN the drawing out before you get too far into it.
GOALS:
3.3 describe the creation of images and explain why they are of value.
1.4 solve visual challenges using analysis (planning the composition out FIRST!).
Work from LIFE and deal with GESTURE drawings for Monday. 5 gesture drawings DUE Monday first thing.

AP Studio Art: Yesterday we looked at the process of matting a work of art… today – YOU are going to mat a work of art.

GOALS:
6.3 use techniques of art with those from other disciplines and present your work
5.2 stand behind your criticism of art in which works you choose as “Quality”
What did you struggle with in the process of mounting your artwork today? How do you need to improve your techniques? What ONE thing do you need to do better or practice on?

Two point perspective and ellipses… lets see how we can use perspective center to figure this one out.
GOALS:
1.4 create, and solve 2 Point Perspective ELLIPSE drawings using 1.4.1 analysis (breaking up the subject matter to basic elements)

Drawing: BREAK FROM CURRENT DRAWING – Let’s talk about proportion. Take 20 minutes to draw your thoughts of the human based on the observation of a life size mannequin.

GOALS:
3.3 describe the creation of images and explain why they are of value.
1.4 solve visual challenges using analysis.
Where were you close to accurate in your drawing, where were you really off in the drawing of the human figure?
