Three Days WITH Mr. Korb – Two days WITHOUT… What is Today?

Art is the Product of Process: Art is the product of process: Whether conceptual, experimental, emotional, or formal, the process you develop yields the image you produce. The materials you choose, the methods of production, and the sources of the images should all reflect the interests that command your attention. The process does not stop with each work completed. It is ongoing. The cumulative result of that process is a body of work. 101 Things to Learn in Art School Kit White © 2011 Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kit White

Stained Glass: LOTS to do, Shelves, Patterns, Glass Buying…

10.1Ac: Utilize inquiry methods of observation, research, and experimentation to explore unfamiliar subjects through art-making.

What type of design are you using in your first stained glass panel? Think about the types of BALANCE we have spoken about.

CIaD: Logos and Sketchbook

7.1Ac: Recognize and describe personal aesthetic and empathetic responses to the natural world and constructed environments.

How are YOUR feelings towards fonts and images affecting those who look at your LOGO? What response might someone ELSE get as they look at your image?

What challenges did you have today with the program. Are you working full screen size? Go Big so it can go small.

Drawing: Charcoal on BIG paper

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

What are you taking away from this process of MULTIPLE WORKS OF ART at the SAME TIME? Give me TWO THINGS and WHY. N: Mark making and process over product. Emphasize the ideas of the mark making and observation.

What feedback did you take away from today’s STICKY NOTE  critique? How will you put that forth as you continue tomorrow?

AP Studio Art: CRITIQUE TODAY

4.2Ad: Critique, justify, and present choices in the process of analyzing, selecting, curating, and presenting artwork for a specific exhibit or event.

What do you have to say about the work in front of you? How are you going to look at the experience and learn from it? What have you done to PUSH  yourself in the process of making your art stronger, more successful? A LEVEL 6?

How did doing the visit with your classmates open your ears to what was said? How did it open your eyes to what you saw?

#Thursday – SO SOON!

Learn To Draw: “Drawing is more than a tool for rendering and capturing likenesses. It is a language, with its own syntax, grammar, and urgency. Learning to draw is about learning to see. In this way, it is a metaphor for all art activity. Whatever its form, drawing transforms perception and thought into image and teaches us how to think with our eyes.”

101 Things to Learn in Art School Kit White © 2011 Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kit White

Student Information Sheet at the BOTTOM of the post.

Stained Glass:  Curved Shapes and PERFECTION

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

Are you up to speed in the cutting end of your practice pieces? Are you ready to begin your colored glass pattern? We are going to talk copper wrapping of the glass soon.

Cutting Curves in Stained Glass: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OmzwRIghlPE/0.jpg

Ease of cutting? Challenges of cutting? Planning of the process is REALLY important – make sure you are thinking things through. Are you able to make strong cuts and easy breaks with the tools?

CIaD: Letters and Logos

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

Working on paper is different than working on the computer. Using a collection of FONTS that you can choose (we will look at these in the Adobe Illustrator Font Collection) you will find a wide variety of fonts that you enjoy and explore many different way of joining letters into positive and negative shapes (as well as adding a geometric or organic shape or two) in creating a Logo Design  for yourself” This will take some time – be ready to SKETCH and EXPLORE ideas.

Adv. Drawing: Still Life

4.2Ad: Critique, justify, and present choices in the process of analyzing, selecting, curating, and presenting artwork for a specific exhibit or event.

Janet Fish Still Life: http://www.utdallas.edu/~melacy/pages/2D_Design/value_DesignBasics/images/Fish_grayscale.jpg

Turn to the second set of pages in your rubric packet and get together with a friend – consider this a mod critique (sort of) and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the work you have in front of you. In the space provided in the RUBRIC write out your thoughts about the good, the bad, and the ugly WITH EXPLANATION. Are you STRONG, GOOD, BASIC, WEAK, or POOR – WHY? Execution, Composition, and Character – all 3.

If you haven’t filled this out – make sure to do so by the end of the week:

Get out the photographs and begin working on the nest drawing. Again, start with a simple set of lines and then work towards more detail. Work for a variety of DISTINCT lines and VALUES. This is going to be about MARK MAKING.

#30Minutes x 8 and you are out the door. #MakeItWork!

20 “Clear sight makes clear art.” Observation lies at the heart of the art process. Whether your art derives from mimicking nature or extrapolating a mental construct, your powers of observation are critical. Unless you can see what lies before you, you cannot describe it. Train yourself to eliminate preconceptions and received understandings when observing anything. Try to see what is before you, not what you think you see or want to see.  Kit White 101 Things to Learn in Art School

Drawing: Masterworks

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

What struggles do you personally find in the making of a continuous line contour drawing? Two things you are challenged by – full sentences.

#Midweek #Humpday #Wednesday and #PleinAir #Art is here! #PaulCezanne too.

Paul Cezanne: Post-Impressionism: http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/paintings-by-paul-cezanne-5.jpg

This Summer is all about: Develop Craft: Learning to use tools, materials, artistic conventions; and learning to care for tools, materials, and space.

Landscapes and simplification of the space – far off space. Looking at the work of Paul Cezanne and the works of the Post-Impressionists – What simplification do we see in the work they have created? Be aware of the breaking up of the space and shapes into a simple fashion, but also consider the ideas of adding details and specific shapes.
