Any ARTWORK you've taken home to finish.
Your typed story for your printmaking book. The rough draft of your artist statement (see below). Please come prepared with a rough draft of your artist statement. You can email it to yourself, save it on a flash drive, or print it out and type it back in next class.
Artist statement TOPICS: In 3-5 paragraphs of 3-5 sentences each, provide some information such as: WHY YOU MAKE ART, WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU, WHAT WAS YOUR MOST SUCCESSFUL PIECE, HOW YOU MADE IT, WHAT PERSONAL CHOICES MADE YOUR WORK UNIQUELY YOURS, WHAT MEDIA YOU ENJOY USING, SOMETHING NEW YOU ENJOYED LEARNING, WHAT YOU PLAN TO DO NEXT AS A RESULT OF THIS CLASS, ETC... Please refer specifically to the work and experiences from this year's GT program. Don't bog readers down, but rather entice them to want to know more. As with any good first impression, your statement should hook and invite further inquiry, like a really good story is about to unfold. Give too little, not too much. Click on the following link to read Molly Bang's book Picture This: How Pictures Work and get ideas for how to complete the next homework assignment: http://www.nhsdesigns.com/pdfs/graphic_ss_picture-this.pdf Then, choose a children's book that you like and use the story (particularly an illustration from one point in the story) to abstract using ideas from Molly Bang's book. Think about how to express your story using just the elements of art (line, shape, color, value, form, texture, space) and principles of design (balance, rhythm, repetition, harmony, movement, contrast, variety, unity, proportion). Your abstraction of the illustration should take up at least 1 page in your sketchbook and include color. Please bring in the original book to share alongside your own version when we meet again on January 26th. |
