#Welcome Back #Mr.Korb! We REALLY Missed You (Really?)

#13 Each generation gets to reinvent art in its own image. Because art is an act of description, it is inevitable that what it describes will reflect every generation’s bias of the moment. It is not a strict reflection of a time but an interpretation rendered in a language that is always in a state of transformation. Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School

PAGE 16 in HANDBOOK

As we end the quarter – please look at the skills and ideas you have developed (or may have already had) over these 8 weeks. Pretty impressive? I think so. One of the most common requests I get is to “let us do our OWN thing.” Well… talk about that with your neighbors – What is ONE ARTWORK that you would like to pursue – Anything you want – the sky’s the limit!

Studio Art 360: A bit of still life and a bit of reflection.

As you examine this work of art, what are the larger SKILLS you have developed in the process?

Process Over Product – This is a CHALLENGING concept: https://s3.amazonaws.com/easel.ly/all_easels/45467/Process_over_Product/image.jpg

As artists, we are in it for the process of MAKING ART, not necessarily worrying about the finished product. How do you feel about the idea of  PROCESS versus PRODUCT?

  • What EXPERIMENTS are you using as you make marks in the hallways? Are you finding NEW SKILLS you didn’t think you had? Explain the STRENGTH (in art terms) of your initial ROUGH drawing and Thumbnails.

What about today’s drawing makes for a successful drawing? Three reasons please. 

AP Studio Art – LECTURE TIME – Art and Fear – Sit and Chat about the challenges ahead of you.

GOALS:

  • 2.2Ad: Demonstrate understanding of the importance of balancing freedom and responsibility in the use of images, materials, tools, and equipment in the creation and circulation of creative work.
  • Looking at the hands and feet drawings – what can you do now – 3 things – to EMPHASIZE the FOCAL POINT through your use of CONTRAST?

Looking at the rubric from the AP Site – are you hitting the level 6 marks? What do you do SPECIFICALLY to match one of them (or not match one of them).
