#Wednesday and you are Making #Art – We Hope

Of the works, skills, information you wrote about earlier in the week (above) write out a timeline for the next 5 days that will allow you to really work out the changes, skills, mastery so that you can (by mid-week next week) turn in the changes for a stronger demonstration of the learned skills. (All late and missing work will be DUE on the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL NEXT WEEK.)

Art is the product of process. “Whether conceptual, experimental, emotional, or formal, the process you develop yields the image you produce. The materials you choose, the methods of production, and the sources of the images should all reflect the interests that command your attention. The process does not stop with each work completed. It is ongoing. The cumulative result of that process is a body of work.” Kit White 101 Things I Learned in Art School

Studio Art 360: Still Life = Quiet and Focused Drawing

Look back at Monday’s drawings and the beginning of the process, what are some of the challenges that you are facing when it comes to drawing from observation?

#MidWeek #MidCritique in MANY #Studio #Art Courses

#2 Learn to draw. Drawing is more than a tool for rendering and capturing likenesses. It is a language, with its own syntax, grammar, and urgency. Learning to draw is about learning to see. In this way, it is a metaphor for all art activity. Whatever its form, drawing transforms perception and thought into image and teaches us how to think with our eyes.

#Homecoming Week – But we STILL MAKE ART!

“Art Can Be Anything.” It is not defined by medium or the means of its production, but by a collective sense that it belongs to a category of experiences we have come to know as “art”.”

“101 Things Learned in Art School”, Kit White, 2011, MIT Press

Marcel Duchamp “Fountain” http://blogosofica.azurewebsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/DuchampFountain72-292×300.jpg
