Been a while...

OK, so I am trying to get caught up with Blogging and such, this week hopefully. Your books, the ones I have, are lovely.

Today you wrote, or began, your 1st artist statement which is due on your blog by 9:35 Wednesday morning. I will begin individual conferences during advisements next week. I will have a sign-up for you to do these with me.

Wednesday I will be introducing the contour line/wrapped animal. Attached to the right is a sampling of both literal interpretations for the drawing kids as well as interpretations of contour line for photo and graphic students. Click on it to see it larger. It does need to be an animal. I have more photo examples of what this could be in a book I will share.

This project will be due Nov. 3rd for class critique. Next week I will be assigning a Research Essay on your choice of artist, event, time period etc. of inspiration to you. I will be using a format used by one of the other AP teachers so the format is familiar to you. This will be due by December 3rd so I have plenty of time to grade them for the finals grade.
