AP/Advanced Studio Class Critique
Tuesdays are Class Critique days!
I am very excited to present our first 6 inspiring pieces artwork for tomorrow's discussion.
We have made some helpful changes to our critique process: writing the critique sheet the day before, setting ground rules, focusing on open-ended questions, and choosing the pieces to write about (rather than randomly assigning).

Beautiful Blog 101
Here are some steps to build your Blog...
Click on NEW BLOG
Title your new blog for your artwork
If you need to change the name of your artwork blog, look on the tools listed on the left column, select Layout. Scroll down to the Header box. Click on edit. Type in the new name of your Blog. Scroll down to SAVE. Now that it is saved, then go back up to the top and click on SAVE ARRANGEMENT.
Choose an address.
Go with one that is free. If you add 'wahi' to it, I guarantee it will be free. You can also change the address if necessary. Be sure to give me the new address so that all the links are current.
Choose a template
A Google Domains window will open, CLOSE IT. Just continue on...
New Post (AKA add a new piece of artwork)
When you finish your artwork you will make a new post for it on your blog.
To make a new post, press the new post button. A new document will come up. First add a title at the top bar, such as a description of your project "Beautiful Blog".
Add Pictures and other stuff
Next you will add pictures of your sketch, process, and finished artwork.
You will need to save sketch pictures, process pictures, or time lapse videos to your school Google Drive, if the From Your Phone option doesn't work.
To Add a picture, click on the picture icon next to the word Link on the toolbar.
There are some choices listed across the top of the new window on where you can pull the pictures from: Upload, From Google Album Archive, From Your Phone. I chose this photo of my dog, Tug, From Google Album Archive.
I am not sure if the Archived Photo Album is a special folder or something so I am going to have to look into that.
As a non-cell phone owner, you will need to try the From Your Phone option, and then share with me any tricks or details that everyone will need to know as that will be the most common source for posting your pictures.
To add a video, click on the icon that looks like a "Directors Action board." From there you again will chose the source of the video. In this video we see Knutles showing Blossom how to get the job done.
Artist Habit: Understand Art World
To show that you learned something about an artist or the art world in general, you will need to include the website or video that inspired you or provided the information. To do this, type the title of the website, article, or video on your blog. Go to the website, and copy the URL. Go back to your blog and paste that URL under the title. Once pasted, then click on the Link button up in the toolbar.

You can also click on the picture and choose what size you want it to be. This picture of Tug is Medium size. If you have artwork with a lot of detail you may want to choose a bigger size so the detail will show.
The picture below was Uploaded. I pressed the upload option and it took me to my Drive folders. With this picture of Blossom, I changed the size to XLarge, because it was taken further away. Now that it's bigger, you can see Blossom's face better.
To add a video, click on the icon that looks like a "Directors Action board." From there you again will chose the source of the video. In this video we see Knutles showing Blossom how to get the job done.

Week of August 29
Monday
Oh, Art Vocabulary! How we love thee. Words were logged onto a graphic organizer and rated on how well you know the word and what the word is and how it might be created or used. Demo on Contour Line and Line Quality performed in under 10 min. Everyone gets a new 2H pencil and eraser. Students chose a photo reference of their choice and began creating a contour line drawing of it. After five minutes, stop, take out your phone, what!?! Take out your phone and take a picture of your drawing so far. This is your first ever PROCESS PICTURE!! Now, put your phone down and continue drawing. Exit card: Do you have daily access to a camera? What do you like to do in your free time?
Tuesday
Today was your lucky day... you got your very own HB (No. 2) and 6B pencils. Then you got to use those pencils to create a 7 part value scale and a gradation scale in the sketchbook. Students will Everyone continued working with their photo reference, finishing the contour line and adding shading with a full range of values. I wanted students to take process pictures at 10 min intervals, but by golly, everyone was so into the "Zone" I couldn't stand to interrupt the magic.
Wednesday
Intro to Google Classroom 101. Being the non-cell phone owner that I am, I love it when I get to show students new things about technology. Today was that day! We joined Classroom, created a doc to respond to 4 reflection questions about our drawings, created another doc to upload process pictures, and took an Art Interest survey. Art loves Technology. They should get married some day and have some children named New Media. Oh, what?! They did that already...
Thursday
Today, quick demo on grey ground and using the eraser as a drawing tool. Students created a drawing of a black and white high contrast photo reference on the grey ground. Some love it and some hate it. Such is life.
Friday
Did you say no school? What?!? Here in Walla Walla we celebrate the Fair like a holy holiday, and Kid's Day is today. So, git on goin' down to da fair y'all. And love yourself an extra day off.
