Project 3 Proposal Due Friday March 8

As you wrap up Project 2, consider what your plans for project 3 might be.

Think about and be ready to answer the following:

• Are you going to continue with the same theme, medium, or techniques?
• How has the experience of the first two projects affected your decisions for your next work?
• Are you improving as you work? Staying still, going backwards?

Project 2 - Progress and Process

Project 2 - Due Monday March 4

You should be thinking about Project 2. We will spend the month of February to working on it.

Consider these questions...

• Is project 1 complete? If not, will you begin Project 2 and finish Project 1 later?
• How did the experience of your first project make you  feel? Do you want to continue with the same mediums or try something new?
• What did you do well in project 1? What will you improve in Project 2?

You should always begin a new project by clicking on the Process Portfolio Guide above and answering the questions. Post the answers to your blog this week.

This I will be asking each of you what your ideas and plans are for the next project.

Theories of Art Criticism

Please create a new blog post and name it Theories of Art. You will all need to take notes.

We will discuss the 4 Aesthetic Theories of Art.

We can find out where an artwork fits in with thses theories by the following steps:

Describe - Tell what you see (the visual facts)

Analyze - Mentally separate the parts or elements, thinking in terms of textures,shapes/forms, light/dark or bright/dull colors, types of lines,and sensory qualities. In this step consider the most significant art principles that were used in the artwork.
Describe how the artist used them to organize the elements.

interpret- seeks to explain the meaning of the workbased on what you have learned so far about the
artwork, what do you think the artist was trying to say?
Judgement - personal evaluation based on the understandings of the work(s)
