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

What is your sense of OBSERVATION regarding the Bird’s nests?

WHAT TO DO? Pencil and observation. Drawing techniques and mark making. We are going to look specifically at LINE and VALUE / CONTRAST in these drawings. Whites / Blacks / Greys are the focus. Use of CHARCOAL will be coming up – mark making and removal of marks with erasers. Explore the use of the variety of Pencils that we have and how they can be used. Explore the different marks and erasing that we can do with the materials. Look at the different papers that are available. Really look at the idea of THE ELEMENTS and compositions that can be used.

#Sketchbook #Tuesday and #DRAW!

#2 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.

Finally #Friends – It is #Friday in the #Studio. Keep making #Art!

#17 Drawing is About Mark Making

“Every mark has a distinct character and quality.Every mark is a signature. Variations in pressure and weight is the visual equivalent of intonation. Marks, or lines, of consistent weight or thickness surrounding a figure or object will flatten the image. Tapering or breaking a line in a curve can connote a highlight or make the curve flow. Also, a tentative line will read as such. Give every mark or line authority and make sure it serves a purpose. Try to use only the marks you need.” 101 Things Learned in Art School, Kit White, 2011, MIT Press

Welcome to National Arts and Humanities Month! What day is TODAY?

Painting: Personal Reflection and Meaning – and PAINT!

ASSIGNMENT – Due at the END of the watercolor painting assignment October 21, 2016: Artists research on ONE of the following artists for imagery, technique, approach: Winslow Homer, Charles Demuth, Thomas Eakins, Edward Hopper, Dong Kingman, Reginald Marsh, Charles Sheeler, J.M.W. Turner, Thomas Moran, Georgia O’Keefe, James Whistler, or Andrew Wyeth.

How has the gathering of images HELPED or CHALLENGED you in the creation of a composition visually and / or telling a story – about yourself?

hero-moran
Thomas Moran: Landscape – in Watercolor! http://www.denverartmuseum.org/sites/default/files/exhibitions/Media%20browser/hero-moran.jpg

What does your composition say about you? How might others read the images you have gathered and assembled?

http://www.denverartmuseum.org/exhibitions/thomas-moran-s-yellowstone-project-nation

Develop / collect images, consider the ideas about yourself and surroundings. This is going to be a SELF-PORTRAIT of sorts – no that it is going to look like you but rather… the objects and images, surroundings, ideas will be about you.

Drawing: Pencils and Paper and NESTS!

How is the work developing? REMEMBER – Wednesday of NEXT WEEK as a MID-CRIT!
