Anyone who wants to work on art can stay after at this time.

SEARCHING for MEANING...

Looking for Meaning in Art? Good! because that's the goal of our semester. As we explore the art elements and various art media, we will be making deeper connections to a Big Idea. Some of the Big Ideas we will delve into will be: SYMBOLS, POWER, PLACE, IDENTITY.

We may examine more Big Ideas than this, or we may just wallow in each of these until we are saturated with all the contents of their possibilities.

Get ready to dive in!!!

Supply Shopping

Tips:
Most supplies can be bought at places like Target or Office Max. The one item I know gives people trouble is the OIL PASTELS. These you will have to find at an Art Supply store such as Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Be extra careful that you are buying OIL PASTELS not chalk pastels, sometimes called pastels, hard pastels, or soft pastels. If in doubt, don't open them. Bring them in and let me see them. You can exchange them if they aren't what you'll need.

Parents: Many Thanks for taking the time to go out for these supplies. They will definitely enhance the enjoyment of art for your child.

Intro to Art Currently

Current Unit: Heroes


Current Project: Calaveras Hero Relief Portraits

Project Description: You will create a portrait painting with elements of relief & 2-D depth that honors a personal hero.

The face will be constructed from a papier mache mask and attached to a flat surface. The surrounding flat surface will provide a painted scene with a foreground, middle ground, and background for your hero (the mask). You should use what you know about creating the illusion of depth on a flat surface to enhance the feeling of space around the figure.


DUE: November 2nd
