#EndOfTheWeek is in sight. #OneMoreWeek of #FirstSemester! #WOAH.

“Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing.” — John Andrew Holmes

Drawing: Onto the LANDSCAPE and LINE / Mark Making Drawings

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

Look at ALL THREE drawings from yesterday. Of the 3, which one stands out as the STRONGEST? Which stands out as being the WEAKEST? WHY?

Translating the images from your PHOTOGRAPHS to the paper.

Get out the photographs and begin working on the drawing that has the most work to do. Start with a simple set of lines and then work towards more detail. Work for a variety of DISTINCT lines and VALUES. This is going to be about MARK MAKING.

Stand back from your one drawing and write out 3 things that you are PLEASED with and 1 thing you see that is NOT VERY STRONG

AP Studio Art: CONCENTRATE!

7.1Ad: Analyze how responses to art develop over time based on knowledge of and experience with art and life.

DON’T LOOK AT YOUR WORK –  Set it out and step back… go get it – step back… Now… turn around and LOOK! What are three things that you see as working and NOT working in the art? GO Get TO WORK!

#OpenStudio in the #ArtRoom over #Break

I will be in the ART ROOM at school on MONDAY, December 28 and WEDNESDAY, December 30 from 9:00am – Noon. If you are interested in some OPEN STUDIO TIME or have questions that need answering, then is a good time.

Studio Art 360:

EXAMPLES from LAST YEAR!

  • CANVAS was handed out in class and transferring of images should be accomplished for class on January 4. We’ve gone through this in class and they should have the concept figured out. Any missing sketchbooks NEED to be completed by Wednesday, January 6.

VISUAL EXAMPLE of SETTING UP YOUR IMAGE.

AP Studio Art:

3 Concentration WORKS DUE after Break. Three more ONE WEEK after break.

Your Songs of Sanctuary Website STATEMENTS are WAY PAST DUE.

  • We went over the editing of images for the online portfolio in class and I have asked them to get a strong start on the photography and editing of the images over break.
  • As I said in class, I would rather not take a week away from making art in the computer lab when this is work they can accomplish on their own outside of class. Adobe Photoshop is NOT REQUIRED to edit the images for the online portfolio. I demonstrated using a Google App through Google Drive (Pixlr Editor) and the instructions are VERY MUCH THE SAME as if they were using Photoshop: instructions HERE: https://goo.gl/Upkwca
  • In addition to the online editing, I have asked them to upload images to their WEB Pages on the web: https://korbapartwuhs.wordpress.com/

Drawing AND Painting:

  • Both classes have work that they are either done with,finishing up over break, or shortly after break. I have photographed the works in progress and they can be found below. This critique will require some time (I would invest about an hour in the first writing and then whatever it takes to revise and edit). I would rather them get a start on it now than try to cram it in during the last few days of the semester (this is half of the final exam).

#Tuesday – 5 Days Left – Let’s make #ArtWork

“Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don’t have any problems, you don’t get any seeds.” —Norman Vincent Peal

AP Studio Art: GALLERY TIME – Really

Let’s hang a show! https://osuma.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/casey-and-canyon.jpg
  • 6.1Ad: Curate a collection of objects, artifacts, or artwork to impact the viewer’s understanding of social, cultural, and/or political experiences.
  • Of all the works you still have in your possession, what are 5 that you will insert into your AP Exhibition? These are the works that you are hanging today. I hope that you have considered these before today.

What work do you need to hang? Nametags? Artist statement?

Advanced Drawing: Self-Portrait

Chuck Close’s First Self-Portrait: http://25.media.tumblr.com/504e4ae315264b1e7a19ce4a3be1beda/tumblr_mt75jfBXdu1rx60a3o1_1280.jpg
  • 1.2Ad: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices, following or breaking established conventions, to plan the making of multiple works of art and design based on a theme, idea, or concept.
  • You MUST have an artist that you are basing your work on… WHO IS IT and WHAT IS THE REASON? What  images are you using as REFERENCE? THINK about the use of COMPOSITION from the artist you have chosen.

What aspects of the artist you have chosen are you incorporating into your own self portrait? Do you feel you have used that approach in your work up to this point or are you stretching for new ideas?

Drawing: Partner Drawing

Todd Mrozinski plants and windows: https://korbartwuhs.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/f3516-window6.jpg
  • 2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

Studio Art 360: TREES!

Jim Dine and his tree drawings: http://cdn0.walkerart.org/public/collections-thumbs/wac_5035/340×438.jpeg
  • 2.1P: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.
  • Look at last week’s drawing from FRIDAY. What is one thing that you did well on? What are two things you would like to improve on?

What was your biggest challenge in the drawing from observation? What are 2 things that were a challenge as you were looking at a REAL object?

… Drawing and Studio Art 360: Clean Room!

Let’s CLEAN this room. Maybe not QUITE as clean as this but… http://www.modularcleanrooms.com/assets/images/hardwall_cleanroom_interior_1_full.jpg
  • 11.1Ac: Utilize inquiry methods of observation, research, and experimentation to explore unfamiliar subjects through art-making.
  • What works of art from this year REALLY stand out in your mind from this past year? What about it stand out.

What was ONE accomplishment you made this year in the process of making art that you will be able to reflection in 10 weeks and remember? How have you felt about the PROCESS and MEANING in the making of art?
