What can you do with Paper Mache and Cardboard? Yes… you CAN do this! https://artwithkorb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ab287-deerblogphotos25282of92529.jpg

Goals:

  • 10.1P: Document the process of developing ideas from early stages to fully elaborated.
  • These forms may not be your MASTERPIECE of all time, but they did require focus, work, and attention to detail. Looking at ALL the FORMS you created, what do you feel about the ease or difficulty about creating a work of art.

If you are NOT done with the paper mache forms, what could you / should you have done over that past 2 weeks to make sure you DID get them finished by the end of the period? YOU WILL COME TO CLASS TOMORROW with them done.

Goals:

What ELEMENT of art do you find being the strongest one that you are using? Color? Line? Shape? Form? Space? Tell me about it!

Painting: Painting this week – Starting to think about ACRYLICS – but CRIT first.

REMEMBER! Create a ONE PAGE PAPER – DUE LAST FRIDAY – I’m Calling you on it TODAY!

Here are the artists to research: Winslow Homer, Charles Demuth, Thomas Eakins, Edward Hopper, Dong Kingman, Reginald Marsh, Charles Sheeler, J.M.W.

Studio Art 360: Introductions, Expectations, and Artmaking

Robert Indiana uses a lot of TEXT in his art… how about using something you are familiar with in yours? Image http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2277/1750965577_f7ee03962d.jpg

BIO of Robert Indiana: http://robertindiana.com/biography/

GOALS:

  • 2.1P: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.
  • Q: How do you draw something in 3 dimensions? What are different techniques you know? Sit with your neighbor and BEGIN with a box, a cylinder, a pyramid, and the first letter of your first or last name.  

What are 3 things you hope to take away from this semester in this room, this class?

Welcome BACK fellow staff members! Our Goals for Today are:

  1. Express yourself visually and begin (maybe finish) a piece of art that says something about you.
  2. Collaborate with your group members:
    1. Tell the group your plan and get suggestions and feedback
    2. As a group, attempt to agree upon a color or color scheme that visually brings your pieces together.

*Give your finished piece to me by this Thursday 8/28 to be hung in the new gallery.
