What? WHAT? This is WHAT IS POSSIBLE with this cardboard! WOAH! http://www.evolo.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ICON_5.jpg

Goals:

  • 1.1P: Use multiple approaches to begin creative endeavors.
  • What more do you need to do wrap up the form (literally) with the paper mache and begin PAINTING? BE AWARE OF THE TIME YOU ARE WORKING AND THE TIME YOU ARE TALKING!

Goals:

  • Synthesize and relate knowledge and personal experiences to make art
  • Knowing that you need to EXPERIMENT with a variety of materials and compositions… what are the variety of materials or experiments that you anticipate or plan on making? How is the COMPOSITION coming along? Open? Closed? Active? Busy? TOO BUSY?

What materials have you used today? How have you decided to arrange your composition? What are the elements you are looking at using / focusing on?

Goals:

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

How have you used persistence and grit to continue and work through the issues you are having? Explain in DETAIL!

REMEMBER! Create a ONE PAGE PAPER – DUE TOMORROW! (TYPED! double spaced, 11 or 12 point Times New Roman, Palatino – Serif-ed type font) that discusses the artists and their works.

How will you use similar ideas in your work as they did in theirs? Here are the artists to research: 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. PAPER IS DUE ON Friday, September 19, 2014.
