MASKS

We will be making masks soon in Art I! It's time to be thinking about your idea. The one thing you are NOT going to be allowed to do is use someone else's idea. That means no Batman, Joker, or Jason masks! You are going to create an original and unique mask!

Computer ART!

I am posting this as a response to some college students of mine who feel that anything done on a computer is not art. I am trying to change your mind!   These works were done by Sarah, who is 17 years old.  She used a Wacom Tablet to draw on the computer in Photoshop, much like you hold a pen or paintbrush.  Anyone can hold a stylus, just like anyone can hold a paintbrush or pencil.  What she does with the stylus and how she controls it is unique to Sarah.  She loves drawing wolves, and has become somewhat of an expert on the subject (in any medium.)   Notice how three-dimensional looking they look?  They were drawn and then colored in and then highlights and shadow were added to make the bodies look three-dimensional.  She didn't use a pattern, or a template, or any tool on the computer that may be seen as "cheating." She made it 'from scratch!' The computer is just another medium for an artist to use.  If she drew a wolf using colored pencil, and it looks exactly the same as these do- what separates the works of art other than the use of a medium?  The artist and her skill and her originality remain the same.

Moon Mandala Journal

I started a round-robin altered book group almost a year ago.  This is one of the recent ones I worked in. The rest of the group had done such exquisite work in it that I was afraid to touch the pages for a long time!  I finally got going and did these pages.  The theme had to 'revolve' (sorry!) around the idea of the moon. This first photo (which was actually my last page) was at about 2am and I was tired, and all I could think of was that there were TONS of songs out there about the moon!  The second had to do with my love of all things triskell/trinity/three's.  (Three photo's posted to my blog!?......)   Finally the last one was a card I bought somewhere and have kept because I just love it.  I photocopied the card and used the paper.  I am not too thrilled with these as I could be....I could have done more detail, but they are ok!   The last photo is a rare one of me (I normally hate having my photo taken.)  A student was playing with my iPhone camera.  This was a day they were working in sketchbooks and everyone was engaged and on task. I had to get involved- so I brought out my sketchbook and worked a little in it.

OP ART

Op Art started in the 50's and is a genre of art that uses optical illusions to fool the eye. Here are some finished examples from Art I students Morgan P. and Brittany M. Do you notice that all of the pieces have the same thing in common? They all look as if they are going back in the distance. The lines are headed back to a focal point (which sometimes can be a sphere).

Make sure you have a minimum of three spheres. Draw them in first, then put your background in. Be sure the lines head back to the focal point in the distance. This should never be in the middle of your page.

Use black and white checkered designs as well as at least one colored pencil. Refer to the handout for more examples.

Lead pencil should NOT show up! Neat craftsmanship and attention to detail is a must!
