Art Foundations: Pattern Painting

Check out how PATTERN can be used for FUN in ARTWORK! What else might you do in the future with PATTERNS?  Thanks Hasita K. https://korbartwuhs.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/4fec9-bbb6.jpg

GOALS:

  1. 3.5 evaluate and defend how (3.5.2) symbols (your choice in pattern) are used in art
  2. Use SKILL and AWARENESS in the process to create SUCCESSFUL works of ART.

After you have worked on this pattern, do you thinking that it describes you? What about it does the best job in describing you? What  might you change?

Drawing: CRITIQUE! Be an ACTIVE PARTICIPANT!

A CRIT! Let’s get to TALKING! http://art.calarts.edu/sites/default/files/photos/3763119223_739b31beb3_o.jpg

Goals:

  1. (2.1.4) form criticism about Still Life that works to demonstrate one’s understanding of value, composition, observation.

What do you feel was the MAJOR aspect of the crit. that YOU NEED TO WORK ON? What do you see as the benefit of the Crit. What do you see as a downfall / challenge? What NEW did you add to your understanding of your work? What about what you have added to your classmates ideas?

What is Art? Anges Martin “Art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings.” Art In America (p.124, 1996)

Art Foundations: Pattern and Watercolors

Does this MONOCHROMATIC PATTERN apply to you? Can you see how it might? http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp352/katiemwhitby/kevinandamanda-orange-pattern-paper.jpg

GOALS

  1. (1.2) Create art that demonstrates an understanding of how your ideas about yourself relate to the principle of pattern.
  2. (3.2) Apply ideas in art to solve visual challenges and communicate ideas (Who are you? How do you represent that?).

How did talking with your neighbor make your drawing look different to you? What made it difficult to speak about your work and / or your classmates work with the critical eye? What is successful in the watercolor beginnings? What is unsuccessful?

Learnign to look at and Talk about Art is REALLY hard. Where are you struggling? http://learntoart.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/art-critique.jpg

GOALS

  1. (2.1.4) form criticism about Still Life that works to demonstrate one’s understanding of value, composition, observation.
