October concludes today

Our last day in class working on the candy bar wrapper project was yesterday. ALL Projects MUST be finished before school or at lunch and given to me NO LATER than Tuesday 11-3-09 at 2 pm.

Monday - have in class images ti draw that inspire you - images you will draw when you are done with a project and waiting for others. Not having the images will cause you to lose points on current projects as you are unprepared for class.

Also have in the 10 images for the project with Mrs. Carson...bring in the images Monday.

I will be at the 10th retreat on Wed and Thurs next week.

Last week of October and first week of November

Ms. Carson will be working with the class for the days that I am with the 10th grade Retreat.

ALL STUDENTS must have 10 images from a magazine...full page...or high resolution computer images. These images MUST be in class by Monday 11-2-09. These images go ABOVE and BEYOND the 5-10 images you need to have on hand for drawing after an assignment in class is completed (as you wait for peers to finish).

The images must be of food, animals, landscapes, people, sports, etc. The can not include images inappropriate for school...images that include violence, sex, alcohol, drugs, guns, etc. are not allowed and if brought to school will result in a referral and a zero for teh project.

This week we are working on the color project with consumer products (candy wrappers). After completion of the candy wrapper drawings we'll spend Friday watching a video about an artist - Keith Haring. If time, we'll do a quick sketch in class.

Current Projects

The class finally finished watching the color video today. The video worksheet was turned in at the end of class.

Paper that have been passed back were glued into the sketchbook. Those that forgot everything at home today need to take care of that on their own time.

Scientific illustrations and scratch art were finished this week. Illustration reflections were due in class today.

Thursday we started drawing our candy wrappers...that will take three to four days next week.

Make sure to find images from magazines or high resolution printed images (3-10 of food, animals, nature, people, architecture...appropriate for school) to practice sketching if you finish a project before the rest of the class moves on to another project. Finishing early DOES NOT equal a study for another class/ do homework opportunity.

Second Quarter Begins Monday

Monday we'll continue working on the scratch art...perhaps Tuesday. If you are close to finishing, bring in 5 magazine images for your sketch book, have them available to draw if you finish before others.

We'll complete the scientific illustration and seeing color video next week.

All THREE of those items are due by Friday 10-19-09.

We'll start a colored pencil project with consumer products NLT 10-26-09.

October 9th

Today mass ran long...we had 10 minutes of class...plans needed to change.

Monday we'll complete a reflection on our shoe and leaf. After that time we'll watch the color video from the National Gallery of Art that we did not watch today.

Tuesday we'll complete our scientific illustration and reflection on our illustration.

Wednesday we'll start our color project based on consumer products (candy bar wrappers). This should take us the rest of the week.

BY Thursday have completed all of the outstanding assignments from the quarter (what is not done must be turned in unfinished and graded as is):
Motif
Shading Worksheet
Line drawings (all)
Scholastic Magazines (2)

The week of the 19th we'll complete a reflection on the candy bar wrappers and leaf (juxtaposing the two images).

What;'s Next

The leaf drawings are almost complete. Tomorrow those students who have not finished them can work on them in class. Everyone else will start the scientific illustration project.

After that...color as seen in consumer products.
