I Observe



What aspects of the work represent how you took a different perspective, found subtle variations, or used compare/contrast within the work by thinking more deeply or looking more closely?
While looking more closely at my drawing I found...
I needed to add...

Advanced Studio Art Collaboration: Symmetrical Balance

So, you've spent one class period setting up your Formal Balance design.  Now it is time to finish it!  Be sure to fill the spaces with 1)stencil shapes or 2)paint applied with something other than a brush or 3)BOTH!  Be sure you have captured the essence of Symmetrical balance by creating equal weight and importance on both sides of your composition.  
See the examples below...

Blog becomes Vlog?

Last week at our Holiday Staff Lunch I had a long conversation with photography teacher, Keven Peck, about the blogging he has implemented in his class.  We have some overlapping students, and in conversation with some of them I discovered how their perception is that blogging in Drawing&Painting is more complicated than in Photography.  What?!?  Why is this I ask?  In photo, they write a longer reflection piece, but they only post one picture - the picture they have created to call their artwork.  In D/P, they post 4 pictures - sketch, 2 from the process, and finished art.  If these pictures are more complicated, would it, could it be more fun to create a video of the piece at its' various stages and verbally give a reflection rather than writing it???  We must try this!  And so the blog beat goes on....

Class Critique for Dec. 8th

I can't believe it!!!  This will be our last class critique for 1st semester!  Unless the class wants to be sneaky and do another one after winter break.  I will ask... we will see.
