In The Art Studio…

Eighth Grade~ If I could fly…, I’m Out on a Limb

Ahhhh Ha!!! By now you have gotten your “hands dirty”  on the wheel, set up and cleaned up your wheel.  So now what???  To be the master of clay on the wheel, you will need to find your center. Be sure to check the placement of hands on the clay (do you have the vulcan hand?)  Are your elbows down?  Where is your head?  Did you keep your foot on the accelerator? ARE YOUR HANDS WET??? What is the sponge for?

So the question is What is your Center?

In this unit of study you were able to use various types of lines and colors to create a background and assembled space.  Markers were the main medium and you used them in a new way.  One way was running the marker under water to watch it run and bleed.  Another way was the use of the spray bottle to create a more controlled area to blend and mix colors.  In order to complete this piece you had to draw, color, spray, and cut out a detailed creature.  I just love the way the textures and colors came out in all your pieces.  You’ve shown the beginnings of understanding how to use the elements of art in an art piece.  Good Job!

After watching the video on wheel throwing,  you should be able to answer the following question… Who is David Kuraoka? Please respond in 3 complete sentences minimum.  Include not only the facts about the artist, but a personal connection that you had with the artist…

In the next few classes we will not only review the elements of design, but create a few studio pieces based on the principles of design.  You should be able to clearly convey which principle you are focused on in your art work.  Be prepared to verbally discuss and critique your completed art piece.

Elements are key to art.  Line, Shape, Texture, Color, Value, Space,  & Form are the 7 element of design.  With out the elements it is impossible to have an art piece.  We will be exploring and reviewing the definitions of each element as well as creating several studio pieces focused on these elements.
