#Scholastic Art Show at #MAM – #Awards for Great #Art (Still)

Robert Henri: “Advice about your paintings is difficult.  As I said before, I cannot interest myself in whether they will pass juries or not. More paintings have been spoiled during the process of their making, through such considerations, than the judgements of juries are worth.”

Drawing: Books and Oil Pastels – WRAP IT UP!

3.1Ac: Engage in constructive critique with peers, then reflect on, re-engage, revise, and refine works of art and design in response to personal artistic vision.

What do you feel about talking aloud when it comes to other’s works? What are your thoughts about why you may be apprehensive or confident when discussing other individual’s work?

Critique About Art: http://escapingartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Art-School-Crit.jpg

What were 3 things that you took away from today’s critique? 

 

Studio Art 360: Pencils and Observation

2.1P: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.

Form and Value: Using what you remember about form from our earlier drawings of 2 point perspective cubes, cylinders, and pyramids? Using the objects that has been set out in front of  you and spend the hour working on drawing it to scale (1:1). Look at all the shadows, reflections, highlights and darks. Practice LOOKING. It is all about the eye! N: DEMO AGAIN – Sighting in and Searching for lines. DO NOT ERASE.

TODAY - We TALK about the process of SKETCHING and Preliminary Ideas - OBSERVATION Drawing. http://pre11.deviantart.net/4c6c/th/pre/f/2010/304/0/d/ball___cube___cylinder___ring_by_gartus-d31w5zb.jpg

Challenges and struggles? Are you going to take it home and REFINE it? 

 

Advanced Drawing: Fast Food – Time to RESOLVE THIS

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form. A: As you look back on this drawing – what is the ONE AREA you are uncertain about in the work?

Bags - McDonald's Bags https://ihabdines.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/mcdonalds-bag.jpg
Bags – McDonald’s Bags https://ihabdines.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/mcdonalds-bag.jpg

What do you FEAR about standing up in front of a class and TALKING about your art with the class of Artists? Name 3 FEARS

 

AP Studio Art: FEAR! Listen to THIS… NPR’s This American Life (again)… ASSIGNMENT HERE!

 

1.1 Ad: Visualize and hypothesize to generate plans for ideas and directions for creating art and design that can affect social change.

What are you doing outside of the studio time to make sure you are staying on top of your work? What have you done to PUSH  yourself in the process of making your art stronger, more successful? A LEVEL 6?

Fear of Stairs: http://img2.rnkr-static.com/user_node_img/50063/1001246761/870/if-this-bothers-you-at-all-you-have-it-photo-u2.jpg

1.2P: Shape an artistic investigation of an aspect of present-day life using a contemporary practice of art or design.

What do you feel you need to do in order to be focused and intentional in the work you are creating? One aspect of this work is to know that the marks you are making are permanent – cannot be taken out – one and done. How do you work with the mistakes that you might make?

Drawing: Books and Oil Pastels

Reflect: Learning to think and talk with others about an aspect of one’s work or working process, and learning to judge one’s 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?

Book Drawings – Objects Only https://goo.gl/photos/1aPebaERj9uwi34SA

Have you improved your drawings skills over the past few days?  What is the biggest success you have accomplished this week? Where are you struggling? 

Studio Art 360: BALANCE and Organic Objects

1.2P: Shape an artistic investigation of an aspect of present-day life using a contemporary practice of art or design.

How satisfied are you with the start of your 5” x 5” design? Do you see new and unique ways to make lines and be more aware of the marks that you are making in the art that you are making?

Symmetrical (Approximate Symmetry) Balance: https://img0.etsystatic.com/055/0/10388108/il_570xN.728983156_bbdf.jpg

Wednesday and Thursday we are wrapping up the pressing of the design and then the inking / painting / staining of the final work. Two things you are struggling with… why? 

 

Let’s Look at LINE use and PATTERNS

Advanced Drawing: Begin with Fast Food

 

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

Step back from your drawing and write out two things you see that are in need of attention FIRST! WRITE them down and then write down the WHY they need attention.

Black and White – Transparency and Layering… Janet Fish: 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 mid 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. Janet Fish:

Work Like you did yesterday – Work Like AP STUDIO ART is as challenging as AP WHATEVER ELSE… Wait, it IS…

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  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?
