One of the BIGGEST CHALLENGES I see with 8th graders and your understanding of what art is and what it can be is that you don not have a wide view of the world of the arts. The IMAGE, the PICTURE has to be something and it has to be correct (in many of the 8th graders eyes) and sometimes it can be and should be about the mark making… the act of making art. Sol Le Witt nailed this!

6th Grade: Printmaking
Keepsake boxes and the final few days… what are your ideas for the surface decoration and embellishment.
How are we able to use these ideas in NEW ways… I wish I knew who did this because it is a REALLY great approach to talking the neurographic breakdown of the contours in another direction!
I can communicate in positive ways to get my needs met.
A day at Expo Chicagobrought back a great number of images and ideas… here is one image and then a quote from a different artist. I wish I’d have seen the name of the artist above.
โIt doesnโt matter if the story is precisely trueโฆitโs about you telling the story. Itโs almost like going to a rock concert where the audience sings along with the performer. I want the viewerโs experiences to be echoed in the work as they are reflected back in the canvases.โ

The AP Studio Artists are working on their breadth in Studio. Concentration of one’s visual ideas is a part of the Advanced Placement process / portfolio, but so is the idea that “I can do a lot of different works and here are my skills.” Here are some of their skills. Check out theย galleryย link to see more of the works.
Reflect: Learning to think and talk with others about an aspect of oneโs work or working process, and learning to judge oneโs own work and working process and the work of others.
How have you changed in the process since you have begun? How are you drawing DIFFERENTLY than you did PRIOR to this Drawing?

Studio Art 360:ย Continuous Line Contour Drawings
2.1P: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.
Sketchbook Assignment Line: Continuous Line Contour Drawings: We are going to use a single line to create observation based drawings of objects that we make use of and really think we understand. Letโs begin with a BLIND continuous line contour drawing. Volunteers anyone? From there… your hands, shoe, and maybe a face if you are REALLY brave.
AT LEAST 5 drawings – all new pages in your sketchbook – 3 hands – 2 shoes – one face (at the very least). Let’s take 5 minutes for each drawing… Draw for as long as I have given you. If you have 5 minutes, draw for 5 minutes. If you think you are drawing too slow, draw SLOWER. There will be no time left at the end of the hour. BETWEEN EACH DRAWING – Walk around and look at all your classmates drawings.
Challenges and struggles? Are you going to take it home and REFINE it?
Advanced Drawing: Begin with Fast Food
2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.
Looking over your ideas from yesterday – which ONE stands out as successful and WHY? What type of composition (looking at the handout from today) would you say it is most like?
What have you done to begin your final composition today? What ARTIST HABIT OF MIND are you thinking about – or maybe you are considering the levels in the rubric as you continue to develop your artistic skills? Janet Fish:ย
AP Studio Art: Mid Crit – HANDS and Object
SHORT PARAGRAPHS PLEASE – The paragraphs are nice to see in the Art and Fear images on the website – short little descriptions to help the image along. We are always working to help our viewers understand. Where else do you need to explain your images? The AP TEST! This is practice!
3.1Ad: Reflect on, re-engage, revise, and refine works of art or design considering relevant traditional and contemporary criteria as well as personal artistic vision.
As you get your photographs back – what NEW materials are ย you thinking about using? Are you going to try and use the techniques that you are already comfortable with? What are you doing to EXPAND and EXPLORE?
