April 22, 2103 – Monday – Follow Our BLOG! Daily Goals!

You never truly lead anybody until you learn to serve, and you never truly learn to serve until you learn there’s something so much greater than yourself.

What are your thoughts on being a leader? How can you develop your abilities?
~~~
Art Foundations: COLOR, but first… let’s look at our drawings!
Not Pink Floyd…

GOALS:

  1. 1.4 Define visual challenges of making various colors using analysis (what are the colors that we, as painters / drawers use to make all the other colors?)

What are your favorite colors? Why are you drawn to these colors? What do you think of when you encounter that color? Does it remind you of something from your past, present, or make you think to the future?

~~~

Drawing: VALUE – we are really going to  be challenged with the ideas of VALUE as we pick at the more challenging part of the face today!

You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you cannot (or your really should not) pick your friends nose. YUCK!

GOALS:

  1. 1.4 Initiate, define, and solve challenging visual arts problem of drawing the nose using skills of (1.4.1) analysis (.2) synthesis (.3) evaluation. (P).
  2. (5.1) Identify the intentions and purposes behind making art – what is the most important reason for portrait drawing for you? 

What did you struggle with? What was the most difficult aspect of the drawing of the nose? Were you able to draw more of the face to help define the nose more than just the nose itself?

AP Studio Art: This week – let’s get the portfolio worked on… Let’s get this PERFECT. Be prepared to assemble MORE than just the uploads – we will be looking at a collaborative project (with your 72 dpi images).

Old School!

GOALS:

  1. Work on creating quality (Mounting) of artworks.
  2. 3.3 Describe the creation of images and ideas and explain why they are value.

What did you accomplish today? Please list all the work you have to accomplish for the final upload of the portfolio. There are a lot of aspects to this upload – how much have you got to finish?

Art Foundations: Develop Picture Plane for Cityscape. Discuss the use of chiaroscuro and your drawing. Finish lesson 4 – Chapter 5.

Two Point Perspective Cityscape… What can you add to yours? Where is your horizon line going to be? What sort of city would you like to create? What CHANGES to the project would you be interested in bringing?

GOALS:

  1.  5.1 identify the rationale behind making art
  2. 3.1 reflect on how art differs and describe how it relates to history and cultures.

As we begin the process of creating this cityscape, what challenges do you see in front of you? Where do you see the potential for struggle? How can you overcome the difficulties that are coming your way?

~~~

Drawing: Continue with the Figure / Paper drawing.

How is this artist handling the background? How are you? what about the FIGURE / GROUND relationships?

GOALS:

  1. 1.1 apply media, techniques, and processes with 1.1.3 an awareness so that your ideas are executed well
  2. 2.3 create artworks that solve visual challenges

Consider the challenges you are facing – what are you doing with the background? How are you handling the use of value and form in the drawings? What are the changes you will need to make to the drawing to help it become more successful – pair up and take the OPPORTUNITY to talk this through.

AP Studio Art: Finish up any mounting of your work that you need to. Continue on any work you may be needing to finish / clean up / complete… whatever.

What is YOUR body of work developing into?

GOALS:

  1. apply subjects, symbols, and ideas in art and use skill to solve visual challenges

What challenges do you have in front of you for the continuing your upload, photography, creation of works? Take 7 minutes and REVIEW your thoughts about the 2 questions from the AP Poster – How are you responding?

MC Escher… Where have you see this kind of artwork before? Is this use of 2 point perspective even possible?

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. 1.2 create 2 point perspective cityscape that demonstrates an understanding of how your ideas relate to the 1.2.3 processes you use
  2. 6.3 use the principles and techniques of art with those from other discipline

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: Figure and Wrinkled Paper Drawing. What can you use from YESTERDAY’s exercise with GESTURE and SIGHTING IN and GUIDELINES that might help you continue to refine your current drawing?

Wrinkled paper in a sketchbook? What a GREAT assignment! Notice the incredible ______________, ______________, and ______________ that help give this work it’s sense of form. (What are they? The 3 things that this artist used to create the form? First 3 people to e-mail me get 10 extra credit points in the sketchbook Character portion of the book!)

GOALS:

  1. 2.2 Evaluate the effectiveness of your artwork
  2. (1.2) Create art that demonstrates an understanding of how your ideas relate to materials, techniques and process.

How much fun was it to take a break from your work yesterday and Monday? Review my comments with your neighbor and write it down in the GOALS sheet. Write out a response to the comments as to how you might work to improve the use og guidelines and gesture drawings OR a general response to the ideas I presented to you in the past 2 days.

~~~

AP STUDIO ART: Let’s take a look at the boards from yesterday and see how you did. Get them out, set them all in a row in the front of the room – QUICK GRADE!

OLD SCHOOL looking at the slides… what have you done to update the process in YOUR work?

GOALS:

  1. 4.4 evaluate and interpret your art for relationships in 4.4.1 form 4.4.2 context and 4.4.3 meanings showing understanding of the work of various art professionals*

What have you learned and improved upon in the process of mounting a work of art? Why is it important to present your work in the best way possible? What challenges do you still have in front of you? Can you teach this process? I hope so – 2 of your classmates were gone – guess who is the teacher now?
