2nd Day Agenda

ObjectiveTo understand the word symbolism, find symbolic representations of yourself and to look for and understand the meaning of who you are and how it influences YOUR art.

To work on your communication skills of presentation and active listening.

Iconic/Symbolic Logos - Icons and symbols are compelling yet uncomplicated images that are emblematic of a particular company or product. They use imagery that conveys a literal or abstract representation of your organization. Symbols are less direct than straight text, leaving room for broader interpretation of what the organization represents. In order for a symbol to be a truly effective logo it should be:

Activity: What is art? Objective: To understand & define ART

Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music and literature.

The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.

OBJECTIVE:To learn and apply foundational drawing techniques to improve your artistic skill in drawing.

Gesture Drawing – The essence of a subject

A Gesture drawing is work of art defined by rapid execution (DRAWN QUICKLY). Typically artist draw a series of poses in a short amount of time, often a little as 30 seconds, or as long as 2 minutes

Artists may gesture draw people or animals going about normal activities with no special effort to pause for the artist. For example, drawing from people on the street, performers, athletes, or drawing animals at the zoo.

For ART , a gesture drawing attempts to capture action, basic shapes or movement.

What is a critique? A critique is an oral or written

discussion strategy used to analyze, describe, and interpret works of art. Critiquing is a process in which we organize our thoughts about an art piece.  Through four steps: description, analysis, interpretation and judgment, we are able to look at the work and make educated statements about it.

(See Power point how to formally critique art)

Intro To Contour Line Drawing

The Contour LINE A contour is the line which defines a form

or edge - an outline. Contour drawing is the place where most beginners start, following the visible edges of a shape. The contour describes the outermost edges of a form, as well as dramatic changes of plane within the form. 'Blind contour drawing' is when contour drawing is done without looking at the paper.

The Element of VALUE The difference between lights and darks found in a work of art. These range from black to white with numerous shades of gray in between.

In drawing value is achieved by shading

Value & Shading

Shading… Adding darkness to a

surface that is opposite of a real or imaginary light source adds depth to your drawing. Shading is the key to a successful drawing.

MC Escher’s Eye How we see. Draw and discuss

the human eye.

Draw three accurately drawn eyes from images on the internet or from magazines. (Draw BIG)

Draw your eye from life using a still life mirror. DUE MONDAY 9/5

Together On your own

MC Escher EYE -Can you name some parts of the human eye? Draw and label as many as you can in your sketchbook.

How we see…

The eye Process of 'Seeing'

Both the eyes have slightly different fields of vision since they are separated by the nose. Each of these visual fields are divided into the right and left side. The following diagram clearly shows the structure of the human eye and what happens when an object is looked at. Not only do the two eyes see different angles of the object but each individual eye takes in different information, due to the different visual fields. The diagram has given two different colors to the different visual fields to make the process more understandable. Signals from the left visual fields of both eyes are sent to the right visual cortex and vice versa. The information received at one eye is incomplete since only one part of the image is available, therefore both eyes immediately send their information to the brain, so that the information can be combined.

Rene Magritte, The False Mirror, 1935.

portraits and self-portraits. In 1988, at the peak of his career,

Close became paralyzed. He regained partial use of his arms, and was able to return to painting after developing techniques which allowed him to work from a wheelchair.

Artist Chuck Close is a wonderful example of an individual who has valued his abilities and who has used his abilities in his own best way. By not letting paralysis or being in a wheelchair stop his already successful career as an artist, Close demonstrates how a "can-do" attitude and approach to life can help us overcome obstacles in order to create even greater possibilities than before.

This 2002 portrait of his niece Emma is actually a woodcut print based on a painting in Close's late signature style. Chuck spent three months on the painting; master printer Yasu Shibata spent two years carving 27 wodblocks to print 113 colors 132 times to make each print. Every aspect of the process is like a miraculous innovation, beginning with Close's secret for getting a toddler to sit still for three whole months.

Why a grid ???? Using a grid is a helpful way to enlarge

or reproduce a picture. It aids the artist in the placement of the different elements that compose the picture. By working with a grid, you will have an easier time getting the proportions correct. I have laid out the procedure in seven steps on the back.

Drawing Vocabulary

Final Portrait Drawing

Celebrity Portraits Critique Final Art (if you finish)

Helpful terminology:

  Value: Element of art that deals with lightness or darkness. Depends on how much light a surface reflects.

  Contrast: To place and arrange values or colors so as to set

off or bring out noticeable differences.

Highlights: Small white areas that show the surfaces of the subject that reflect the most light.

Shadows: Shaded areas in a drawing. They show the surfaces of the subject that reflect the least lights. They are used to create the illusion of form (three-dimensional reality).

Studio Time Purpose Objective

You will demonstrate your understanding of the proportions of the human face, shading and value by applying realism and accuracy to a personal self portrait.

Tomorrow – Quiz the proportions of the human face.

Portrait drawings Do your best Work with contour lines first, then eyes, and other

features can be completed. Hair should be last along with clothing.

Graffiti Bellwork How illegal is it to vandalize a

wall? Is Graffiti Art or Crime? Does it matter what or where

art/graffiti is placed?

Graffiti is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted

or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to the Roman Empire.

In modern times, paint, particularly spray paint, and marker pens have become the most commonly used graffiti materials. In most countries, marking or painting property without the property owner's consent is considered defacement and VANDALISM, which is a punishable crime.

Sometimes graffiti expresses social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic expression is based upon spray paint graffiti styles. To some, it is an art form worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions; to others it is merely vandalism.

About Banksy & The West Wall

BBC Video about Bansky’s Project

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXSg8BApBwA

Bansky’s own Video about the project.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LAChIoJQPg

How illegal is it to vandalize a wall, asks Banksy? Answer:

In his website introduction to his Wall project, if the wall itself has been deemed unlawful by the International Court of Justice? The Israeli government is building a wall surrounding the occupied Palestinian territories. It stands three times the height of the Berlin wall and will eventually run for over 700km - the distance from London to Zurich. The International Court of Justice last year ruled the wall and its associated regime is illegal. It essentially turns Palestine into the world’s largest open-air prison.

West Wall Ariel

The West Wall Project

The Wall is around Qalqiliya. A twenty-five foot high concrete cage cuts residents off from their agricultural land, necessary for their survival, and prevents you from traveling even 5 minutes out of the City. A single gate, open at the whims of the occupying army, controls 100,000 residents. StopTheWall.orghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_West_Bank_barrier

Do you know where the West Wall is located?

Do you know what this is? Where it is/was?

Wasily Kandinskyhttp://youtu.be/BxGG1DtVbW0

WasilyKandinsky 1866-1944 Russian painter, considered the father of

the art movement called abstract expressionism.

Kandinsky was extremely interested in the relationship between visual art and music- even naming his paintings with musical terms.

http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/people_n2/art_n2/kandinski.html

http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/kandinsky/

Kandinsky & Abstract Art

Abstraction 20th Century Art Movement “Works of art that reframe nature for expressive effect

are called abstract. Art that derives from, but does not represent, a recognizable subject is called nonrepresentational or nonobjective abstraction.” National Gallery of Art (2006)

Abstract visual expression in this art movement coincided with changes in science and technology; changes in cities; new lighting, automotive vehicles, and skyscraper buildings; along with Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory; and Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.

Artists associated with the abstract movement include:

Alexander Calder; Marsden Hartley; Max Weber; John Marin; Georgia O’Keefe ; Arthur Dove ; Jackson Pollock; Barnett Newman; Roy Lichtenstein; Jim Dine; Frank Stella; and Robert Rauschenberg.

Objective(s):

The student(s) will: •View works of art considered abstract and examples

of fine art by artists like Wasily Kandinsky. Discuss the symbolism in art and the messages

within this art form. Examine how art is all around us- in the views we see

daily. Brainstorm ideas for creating their own emotion

based abstract art. • Students will create their own mixed media

painting based on their Elements & Emotions grid.

TO BEGIN… Find a large square

box preferably a lidded- box from reams of paper. Check recycling or the copy. 

Decorate your box in the “Style” of your artist. It should be fabulous!!!

The BOXTo get an A:Neatly wrapped/decorated/painted box, with clever conceptual idea or very neatly done rendition of artist’s style/work. Artwork is rendered with care and precision. Presents inside show a deep understanding of the artist, and reflects a connection on a personal level. An index card accompanies each present, making the connection clear for the viewer. (Example: “TO: Monet FROM: Mrs. Steffl Happy Birthday! I know you are having difficulty seeing as you approach your 80th. It must be painful to paint your beautiful water-lilies when you can’t see properly. I hope these eyeglasses help!”) Presentation is outstanding, flawless, neat, and created with pride and care, idea is original and unique.

Coil Pots

For credit you must turn in two paragraphs of reflective response about what is going well and what is difficult. Also share the process you are using to create your pot using art vocabulary from notes.

Coil Pots Things to remember – About Coil Pots Coil-building is a

very versatile method of making pots and can be used to construct huge and complex forms as well as simple small ones. Have a clear idea of the size and shape of the finished piece before starting so that the base can be produced accordingly

Place the base on a wooden board or batt to prevent it sticking to the table.

The base can be rolled out as a slab and cut to shape, coiled, made with a press mould, pinched or thrown. If using the slab method, it is a good idea to use a template such as a bowl or lid to get a good shape.

Coils can then rolled out. Make sure you have plenty of room for rolling out long

coils.

Coil Pots If making batches of coils, wrap them up your

bag to prevent drying out. Coils should be consistent along their entire

length. Take care not to roll the coils too hard or you

will squash them flat. Coils should be soft enough to apply without

so much pressure that they distort the pot wall.

When applying the first coil to a base, always use slip and scoring on both the edge of the base and the first coil to join.

Smear coils downwards onto the coils below to join. This can be done after each layer is attached, or after many coils are in position.

Coil Pots PURPOSE

You will understand the coil method of hand building pottery.

You will create a piece of art that references a historical genre that you make artistically your own.

You will create a plan (rough draft) and implement a project from conception to completion.

You will apply the vocabulary from this unit to your pot and fully understand: scoring, slip, plastic, leather-hard, greenware, bisque, and glaze.

Coil Pots To make a vertical wall, place coils on top of

each other. For the wall to widen, place them slightly to the outside and in order for the wall to come inwards, place them slightly inside.

Make sure the existing wall is not too soft to support subsequent coils.

The pot will probably have to dry a little in between sessions of coiling to enable it to hold its own weight. Cover the top with your bags and paper towels but leave the bottom to dry out.

Coil Pots Particularly when making a larger pot, it is a good

idea to use a stick (maybe with marks on it) as a gauge to keep the top even.

You can smooth out irregularities. The coiled pot can be beaten into shape with a

wooden spoon or paddle when it is finished. You can actually coil the pot upside down thereby

finishing with the base. Decoration You can use any of the usual decorating

techniques used for other methods of making, but a couple of others are open to you while coiling.

Leave some or all of the coil process exposed (ie, don’t smooth it down )
