In The Art Studio…

Well after watching the video, what technique is your favorite? Why? I really like to use the smudge technique. It makes great values and creates a soft look to areas. Do you believe knowing different techniques will add to your artistic skill? I know it will. Practice, practice, practice!

WHAT???? Yes, you will need to think what you’d like to leave behind to show what your ideas are. So take away, scratch, or etch away your art. I can’t wait to see your results. Do you think this is tough or easy? Tell me what you think?

I am seeing great ideas and designs for your upcoming Stained Glass unit. Remember to keep your designs simple, no shading or texture… color book style. You need to write your meaning behind your icon on the back of your sketch so you are able to talk about your art later. We will be starting the unit with marker as the material / medium.

Ok you fellow OP artists… By now you should know what that art style means, and who Bridget Riley is. After completing your studio project, which piece do you feel is the best representation of the OP art style and why? Is it your monochromatic or your compliment piece??? You tell me!

Yes! We made it through our first week and you all have a wonderful first studio art pieces. Marker is a great material / medium and you were able to use it in several ways. Make sure to add the “little details” and “scenes” for the viewers. This project will be due next week.

Prepare for a pop quiz on your elements as well. Have a good weekend.

Good class this week. It is a great way to start off the year. I hope you have developed a good understanding of the vocabulary and concepts as we will be having our first test next week, so get ready.

Great job today gang! I was really proud of your efforts and know that all of you will get “CENTERING”. Remember your steps and your position, Another key is to take your foot off the foot pedal. :} We will be working on centering for a few more classes then on to your cylinder assignment.
