ADVANCED ART-4th period Assignments

Paint a landscape using acrylic paint.
You can choose one of the two landscapes I have in class, or you can find a picture on your own. If you are working from a photograph make sure your horizon line is not right in the middle of the canvas. Remember to paint the back ground first. Please email if you have any questions

This is a place to check in. I need to see what you have been working on if you can not work on your sculpture.

Find a 3-D object made of glass- a bottle, cup, lightbulb, etc
Using a pencil shade it to the best of your ability.
This is a minimum 25 min challange. Which means you should spend at least 25 min drawing and shading the object.

After the armature (skeleton structure) is finished you will need to add aluminum foil and paper to thicken it up. Lightly crumple the foil and then straighten it back out and cover the armature. Think about the muscular structure of your animal. If you have a large area- (like the belly or large legs) you can fill in the area using newspaper first and them add the foil around it. You may need to use some masking table to hold the pieces in place. When you get that part finished- cover with masking tape.
Take a picture and turn in your form at this stage.

Due to the fact that we had to move back to DL and most were not able to take their sculpture home, we have an alternate assignment.
You will have a two class period Open Studio assignment.
This will carry over until our first day back Tuesday/Wednesday.
You can choose any medium that you have on hand. Be creative.
Needs to be original (no copying images from the internet unless it is a photograph turned to a painting).
Should be a full design when done. Think about your foreground, middle ground, and background
Those of you that have two periods will need to do TWO art pieces.
The deadline will be for the Thursday we get back, but you can submit it if you finish early for feedback.
I will be unavailable for some of the time we are off if I don't get back to you right away you will know why.
Have a great break.

1. Pick one of your mini monster sketches (or draw a new one).
2. Create a fully rendered image
3. It must have a foreground, middle ground, and background
4. You must have at least 5 different textures in your image and at least two different textures on the monster
5. Odd object- Somewhere, place a bone in the image
6. Can be any medium- you choose

If you were hired as a concept artist for a new animation, what would your "mini monster" look like?
What does your monster feel like? What texture can you add to bring your mini monster to life. Ask yourself where does this thing live, what does it eat/drink, who are his friend/enemy? What does the environment look like where it lives? Does it live on land or sea, maybe an unearthly landscape?

Draw mini monster in your sketchbook
Draw at least three small mini monsters or one large detailed SKETCH

Alebrijes are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical (fantasy/ mythical) creatures
1. Watch the Alebrijes video.
2. Sketch a multi-animal design to create a never seen before alebrijes
3. Create a three- dimensional figure
Start gathering paper- (paper bags work well), wire pliers, and an old bowl or container

Criteria and design elements
A. Create and design an alebrijes to fit the style of a traditional colorful alebrijes
B. Use wire for the armature and paper, foil and tape to create the bulk of the animal. Instruction on zoom video will follow. Ask questions before you proceed.
C. Students will use a "finish" paper to create a paintable surface
D. Students will paint the alebrijes with acrylics

Your form must stand on it own (that doesn't mean you can't make flying figures).
Point will be deducted if it falls over or can not be displayed

Progress and grading will be in multiple parts.
1. Design sketch
2. Wire armature
3. Progress for first wrap
4. Progress on form
5. Painting

10 points will be giving to the acknowledgment that you have read through the instructions. If you have any immediate questions let me know.

We WILL have a zoom.

The medium is your choice.
Create a surrealist artwork
If you are having trouble getting started here are a few things to think about.

Unusual Proportion or scale
Juxtaposition ( things that are put together that don't really go together)

Todays sketchbook challenge is to draw a botanical (plant) that is part human part plant.
It needs to be original.
CHALLENGE yourself to not look at someone's else work and try to create something completely unique.

What would an art piece look like to someone who could not hear?

You will create a piece of art using any medium available to you. You need to make the viewer feel/see (visually) what music would look like.
Assuming that they have never heard music before (born deaf).
Stay away from stereotypes.

Do not leave this to the last minute, it will take time.

Monday/Tuesday will we do a flash check to check on progress.

Watch the video
Gather a medium that you will use for Wednesday. Chalk pastel, paint or any material that will allow freedom for movement and color.
Make sure you have a place ready to work when class starts.
Pick your music- have a song ready that you can play on a loop or easily be able to hit replay.
Listen to the song before class begins with no distractions.

Create an image that represents an emotion, a feeling, or a statement. Tell me a story.
12 x 18 is the minimum size.
Your choice of medium.

PLEASE turn in all three images. If you posted them in an email or in some other spot please repost them here

Expression portraits
I have attached the slide show for the portraits. Look at each slide and evaluate them in your mind.
Things to think about while you are viewing the images
What is the artist trying to tell us (the viewer)?
Why did they choose the color palette they used?
What is the emotion they are trying to portray?
On each slide with similar imagery how do they "feel" diffrent and why?
Why do you think they choose the medium they used?

After completing the slideshow think about what kind of portrait you will create, is it a thought, a mood, an emotion, an expression, or a statement.

1.What medium will you use?
2.You will need an idea an a rough sketch by the next time we meet.
3.YOU MUST TELL ME WHAT SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED FROM ME BY MONDAY (sooner if you already know) so I can get them ready for pick up.
