Goals:

  • 1.1Ac: Individually or collaboratively formulate new creative problems based on student’s existing artwork.

Goals:

  • 10.1P: Document the process of developing ideas from early stages to fully elaborated ideas.

LOOK CAREFULLY! http://artdivision.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Drawing-Class.jpg

Goals:

  • 2.1Ad: Experiment, plan, and make multiple works of art and design that explore a personally meaningful theme, idea, or concept.
  • Beginning with the warm ups, how do you think MORE time to draw will make it a STRONGER drawing?  I worry that the extra time makes you slow down in the beginning of the process and thus SLOW DOWN and not get as much quality done in the END process… Explain your thoughts.

Reflection:  Look carefully at your drawing from today… what’s the STRONGEST part of it? WHY?
