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

What are two things you think the PROCESS is going to do to help you in the creation of this artwork? How is this going to be a skill that can help you in the future with OTHER ideas and assignments (in or out of art)?

What is it that you especially enjoy about the image you are creating in your painting? How do the ideas and colors RELATE to you?

AP Studio Art: Looking at sketches tomorrow – What are your ideas?

Best part of yesterday? Plans for today? How’s it coming?

How are you moving forward in the process of developing a series of works based on someone else’s work? How are you keeping the images the SAME and how are you changing the idea?
