Inspiration Wall

9/8/2013

 
Finding ideas can inspiration can be challenging for artists. So your challenge is to create an " Idea Wall". You have a large bulletin board next to your easels. One side of this board will be for your "Idea Wall" and the side will display completed work. Your challenge to to clean the board, cover it with black paper and start covering it with images, words, collections and anything else that inspires you. You will work on this for the next two days and I consider it to be an ongoing assignment. Have fun gathering, collecting and posting images


Homework Due Monday, September 9

Ready, Set, Go

A major part of this course is maintaining a sketchbook. You will have weekly assignments to help you build your sketchbook and develop it as an expression of you and your artwork.

Complete the following:

1. Mend, alter, edit and correct your sketchbook cover. It must be a functional cover and contain the following: 
         -a picture or drawing of you
         -three symbols that represent you
         -it must contain your name. 

You have the challenge of combining these elements to make an artistic piece that you will have as your cover for the entire year! You may use any materials you want.

2. Create a "pocket" in the front or back cover

3. Set up an area in your house to create art. Gather supplies around your house and create an art bin or box with supplies for creating art. This way every time you have an assignment you won't have to waste time running around for supplies. Take a digital picture of this space and supply box and be prepared to show on your ipad on Monday.

Welcome

Hello Jesus, Stephanie and Brenna,

You three are going to make -up the Drawing and Painting II class. Sadly you don't meet at the same time but will share the same work space. I would encourage you three to find time to meet and leave notes to each other so that the "critique" process can happen informally. 

This is where I will post your lessons, reading, videos, assignments and homework. You will be responsible for checking the blog daily for updates and notes. I will also use email to communicate with you directly so please check your email.

Please read the course expectations and make sure that you are familiar with the grading policy and expectations for the course. 

I have  a curriculum and outline for the year but am very flexible and want to hear your goals for the year. So please complete the google form below.
