4/21/10 Intro to Art


Today's class- Today we looked at finished comic strip narrative projects from students who had finished them. We also looked at the history of sculpture, from prehistoric through the present. After that I gave the information about the final 3D project.

How to make this up- The project is based on the box sculptures of Joseph Cornell, open front boxes with some kind of theme. Above and below are some student examples from previous semesters. Additional examples, including one I made, and the details and specifications of the project can be found here.



Homework- This graded project is due at the beginning of class on May 5, 2010, which is also the last day of our class for the semester. Projects will not be accepted after that date.

Students who did not turn in their comic strip projects or who haven't printed their collograph plates yet should bring them next week.

*******Spring Semester Portfolio***********

These class art projects are all part of the semester portfolio. The portfolio grade is based mostly on completion, so you want to have all of these done for final grading. The listed dates are when you'll find details on this blog about each project.

1/27/10 Contour Lines (shoes)
2/3/10 Negative Space (chair and bottles)
2/17/10 Value (charcoal)
2/24/10 Mosaic Collage (magazine paper image)
3/3/10 Color Wheel and complement pair mix
3/10/10 Rhythm (abstract compositions to music)
3/24/10 Photography

For next class 4/28/10- This will be a general work day for students to work on anything related to the class. That can be the new 3D box project, finishing the comic strip or anything from the portfolio, or even working on the museum paper. Bring in whatever supplies you need to work on whatever you plan to do during the class.
