B block! IMPORTANT!! Conf. on democracy and h/w details.

2011-10-18T20:21:00.001-07:00

1. Meet at Conference on Democracy at theater building sharp NOT THE ART ROOM. I will take roll there, and we will sit together as a group.

2. Extension on bringing a photo: Now due: Monday Oct. 24th the beginning of class: We will be looking over our pictures and starting to grid.

Homework rubric:

A: Student comes prepared with three distinctly different photos; photo is current ( within the last year). Lighting is good, face is well lit, not blurry,
Photo has eyes, nose and mouth ( none of the features concealed). Photo has a background or evokes a mood. images are printed out NOT ON IPHONE OR COMPUTER

B: Student comes with less than three photos. Images looks like it was taken quickly, Lighting is okay, but not considered. Parts of the face are concealed.

C: Student comes prepared with one image, photo isn't current. Photo is blurry...

Find a good photograph for your pencil portrait drawing. When choosing your photo try and find a large photo to work from. As a Portrait Artist, drawing from a larger the original photo has more more detail to extract from it.

The key to a good pencil portrait is shading, and so a photo taken in natural light will get better results than a photo with the subject's face washed out by flash. See if you can find a photo where one side of the face is darker than the other, this will give the finished pencil portrait more depth.

Choose a good picture where you really look like yourself. Don't use the one photo where you are not yourself. What I can see on the photograph is what I will draw.

Another link can give you some ideas of concepts....

2011-09-15T16:37:00.000-07:00

Drawing of household object: inspired by artist Jim Dine

Jim Dine is considered one of the figureheads of the pop-art movement (exhibited along with Andy Warhol who is probably the most famous contemporary). Much of his work is the simple re-creation of "mundane" everyday objects in interesting and dynamic ways.

I want you to look at artist Shelley Davies blog about artist Jim Dine...
Notice how some of his drawings are "unfinished"

http://shelleysdavies.com/?p=1381

You are to do a drawing in the medium of your choice, ink or pencil observing an ordinary household object such as a hammer, a pair of scissors,hand mixer, hand can opener, swiss army knife, wrench etc. This drawing should be full page in your sketchbook.

Bring in your drawing on Tuesday 9/20

Profile... B block

2011-09-14T15:58:00.000-07:00

Do a head study of someone from observation... strive for realism and put your own "style" on the drawing... can be done in any medium ( ink, pencil, color pencil...)

2011-08-31T15:25:00.000-07:00

Draw a modified contour drawing of a pair of shoes. Choose an interesting pair. Think about the relationship of one shoe to another.

B Block: 300 level drawing

2011-08-25T19:16:00.000-07:00

Based on the assessments, I can see that we all could use a bit of review on our knowledge of perspective

What is due Monday Aug. 29th

A review of one point perspective concepts with the challenge of drawing a cup ( your personal cup or waterbottle in accurate perspective) ~ thus giving your practice at drawing ellipses.

here is what I want you to do: STEP ONE: This should be on one page

Go to the link below and READ the text, next at the bottom of the text is a good explanation of how to draw an ellipse from a circle... Copy that image ( don't trace it, copy it free hand, you may use a ruler for this part)

STEP 2: Step your cup or bottle on a table so you can see both the bottom and top edge of the cup or water bottle. Do your drawing exactly as you would do a one point perspective drawing... in other words , set up your horizon line, vanishing point, and draw your top ellipse first or bottom which ever is easier. This might take a few trys.

http://howtodraweasy.com/203/single-point-perspective-drawing/

What am I looking for: an observed drawing, not from a photograph.
Fits on the page, isn't too small or too large ( check your proportions)
Shows that you read the article and that you followed instructions of this blog post
and yes, I am looking for accuracy, so it will take a few trys. The drawing doesn't have to have shading, but do erase some of the lines to create an effect drawing and not to confuse yourselves.

2011-2012 ALL DRAW PAINT CLASSES COURSE EXPECTATIONS

2011-08-12T18:05:00.000-07:00

Course Expectations all drawing/painting classes

The willingness to take risks: to be bold, and willing to fall down, the willingness to help each other , the curiosity of exploration, to look at things closely, to feel proud about your efforts, and concentrate and focus, to be full of wonder and discovery... to be happy and forget and get lost in your creativity.

The technical stuff:

v Further develop your drawing skills and painting skills

v Make effective use of the principles and elements of art.

v On-going critical analysis of work through individual and group critiques.

v Being consistently and constantly productive.

v Push and challenge yourself artistically.

Class membership
In this classroom, you are expected to behave as a respectful, responsible individual. You are also expected to have fun. I will expect to see you push and challenge yourself rather than fall back on what comes easy to you or what has been successful in the past.

Food for thought….

Work hard,keep up with the pace of the class. Limit talking! Talking and successful drawing don't work. Drawing requires your full attention. Also I will let you know about ipods AFTER the first two weeks of class.

Don’t procrastinate.

Work at home.

Remember you’re in this class because you love art.

Keep a journal to help remember ideas, make sketches.

Don’t give up, you will progress.

You will be expected to produce art while you are in this class. You will be expected to keep a sketchbook at all times failure to do so will result in the loss of participation points. You will be expected to complete drawings outside of class. You will be expected to visit art galleries.

The public wants to understand and learn in a single day, a single minute, what the artist has spent years learning. Paul Gauguin 1848 - 1903

Drawing/Painting projects:35%Projects are evaluated in three areas of individual growth: Technique, Concept, and Presentation

(fullfilling the requirments of the project, risk taking, elements and principles of art in project, craftspersonship,focus and homework spent on project)

written essays/quizzes/sketchbooks35%:

Class membership 30% studio clean up help and participation and how you are in class. This includes completing
assistant credit: which would be signing up for one of these tasks: helping hang art around campus, storage closet maintainance, recycling.

Sketchbook

You are required to keep a sketchbook throughout the duration of this class. The purpose of this sketchbook is to record your visual thoughts, work through ideas, brainstorm or just doodle. I would also like to see evidence of ‘process’ for your outside class drawings. There will also be weekly assignments on the blog, so review it weekly
Always bring your sketchbook with you to class – you will lose participation points if you don’t. ** NO TEAR OUTS WILL BE ACCEPTED... OR PAGES TORN OUT FROM OTHER SKETCH BOOKS AND TAPED IN.

Late work: Unexcused late:l late work will drop a 1/2 grade for each class day late. Work more than two weeks late may not be accepted and can't be made up ( unless due to unforeseen circumstances, illness,etc.). Should you be absent ( excused only) the day something is due, it is expected that it will be ready upon your return. Should you be absent ( unexcused, if you cut class or are on suspension) the day something is due, your project is late. If you are absent for a studio class demonstration day, it is up to you to get the assignments from the class blog, or classmate and make it up on your own time.

Please don't turn in anything to Lindsay or the attendance desk. Turn it into me personally or you may turn it in on my desk in the art office.

Critique: Work not presented for critique is an automatic O. Have something ready to show. This is sacred time for feedback from your peers. Your art doesn't have to be perfect, but ready for critique.

Resubmits: Work submitted late cannot be resubmitted, UNLESS YOU HAVE AN EXCUSED ABSENCE. Resubmits are due at the end of the week of the original due date. If the re-drawn work is superior, the lower grade will be dropped. Resubmits are done on a case by case basis.

Art show:
There will be the chamber art show/art show in November
There will be the annual art show in May. Participation is required for the May show. Extra credit will be given to those who participate, help install or contribute art for the November show.

Gallery Visit on your own
A portion of your grade for this class constists of a gallery visit. This will be due at the end of the first term. The gallery visit is simple a report on a gallery or museum show that you visited sometime during the first term. We will be going on a field trip to the SFMOMA in the spring or fall and that will NOT count. The purpose of this assignment is to have you experience art outside of the classroom and to see what practicing artists within your own community are doing. The shows you choose to write about can be of any media and from any gallery or museum.

Knowledge of how to match skin tonalities, composition)
Journal of Inspiration artist and why you choose the artist that you are working from (this needs to include sketches and research notes; plan on having 10-15 journal pages about your inspiration artist in your sketchbook. You will also do a presentation of some type on that artist during the semester.

One study and one final painting Portrait of Human Behavior

Homework: Painting requires more time spent outside of class than drawing. Because painting and drawing are inseparable “twins” you need to plan sketches and do small painted studies. Take time to evolve and require a lot of experimentation and knowledge of prior and new color theory and brush technique. Painting is not photography, it is not a computer, and it takes time and skillful manipulation of materials and techniques. Come prepared to paint, have your materials set up and your palette set up! You should plan on bringing small containers of paint home to work on your painting over the weekend. Should that prove impossible, then plan on spending time during free periods or afterschool. Be realistic as to what you are really capable of completing given your academic schedule and the fact that we only have 2.5 months to do a painting.

To earn an A in this class You are responsible for your time and need to document three hours a week outside of class on your paintings.
Student is prepared for each class, creates many studies in their sketchbook, has images of inspiration artist at their desk (no need to hunt around on the computer that day of class; has prepared outside of class) has worked on projects beyond the classroom –spent considerable time crafting work). Cleans their tools, space, clean up tasks and completes assignments with great integrity. Takes risks by acquiring knowledge in additional books, asks questions.

All art classes!

Course Expectations all drawing/painting classes

2010-09-16T14:04:00.000-07:00

Class membership
In this classroom, you are expected to behave as a respectful, responsible individual. You are also expected to have fun. I will expect to see you push and challenge yourself rather than fall back on what comes easy to you or what has been successful in the past.

Food for thought….

Work hard,keep up with the pace of the class.

Don’t procrastinate.

Work at home.

Remember you’re in this class because you love art.

Keep a journal to help remember ideas, make sketches.

Don’t give up, you will progress.

You will be expected to produce art while you are in this class. You will be expected to keep a sketchbook at all times failure to do so will result in the loss of participation points. You will be expected to complete drawings outside of class. You will be expected to visit art galleries.

The public wants to understand and learn in a single day, a single minute, what the artist has spent years learning. Paul Gauguin 1848 - 1903

Drawing/Painting projects:35%Projects are evaluated in three areas of individual growth: Technique, Concept, and Presentation

(fullfilling the requirments of the project, risk taking, elements and principles of art in project, craftspersonship,focus and homework spent on project)

written essays/quizzes/sketchbooks35%:
(completing assignments, following directions with check system risk taking)

Class membership 30% studio clean up help and participation and how you are in class

Sketchbook

You are required to keep a sketchbook throughout the duration of this class. Y. The purpose of this sketchbook is to record your visual thoughts, work through ideas, brainstorm or just doodle. I would also like to see evidence of ‘process’ for your outside class drawings. There will also be weekly assignments on the blog, so review it weekly
Always bring your sketchbook with you to class – you will lose participation points if you don’t.

Late work: All late work will drop a 1/2 grade for each class day late. Work more than two weeks late may not be accepted and can't be made up ( unless due to unforeseen circumstances, illness,etc.). Should you be absent ( excused only) the day something is due, it is expected that it will be ready upon your return. Should you be absent ( unexcused, if you cut class or are on suspension) the day something is due, your project is late. If you are absent for a studio class demonstration day, it is up to you to get the assignments from the class blog, or classmate and make it up on your own time.

Please don't turn in anything to Lindsay or the attendance desk. Turn it into me personally or you may turn it in on my desk in the art office.

Resubmits: Work submitted late cannot be resubmitted. Only work that is complete by the orginal due date can be resubmitted. Resubmits are due at the end of the week of the original due date. If the re-drawn work is superior, the lower grade will be dropped. If you are absent ( excused) you can resubmit late work. Resubmits are done on a case by case basis.

G block: 200 Drawing: sketchwork due: Sept. 30th

2010-09-15T16:30:00.000-07:00

Drawing of household object: inspired by artist Jim Dine

Jim Dine is considered one of the figureheads of the pop-art movement (exhibited along with Andy Warhol who is probably the most famous contemporary). Much of his work is the simple re-creation of "mundane" everyday objects in interesting and dynamic ways. Below I've included an excerpt from the National Gallery of Art's exhibition bio along with a link to a collection of his works and a sample.

Once again, some images may be NSFW.

National Gallery Bio

Gallery of Work

Drawing is not an exercise.
Exercise is sitting on a stationary bicycle and going nowhere.
Drawing is being on a bicycle and taking a journey.
For me to succeed in drawing, I must go fast and arrive somewhere.
The quest is to keep the thing alive...
--Jim Dine, 2003

You will be given a weekly sketchbook prompt that can be interpreted in any dawing medium. At the minimum, students at the 400 level should have 15 -20 pages completed in their sketchbooks per semester. This is a MINIMUM REQUIREMENT. It is evaluated twice per quarter. If your assignments show growth, care and investigation you will earn a B+ for your sketchbook grade.

Your drawing should fill the page and use the space in an interesting way... you can also draw the drawing across two pages.

You should plan on spending 1 hour on this drawing

Your drawing can be precise and clean or gestural and expressive... it should look observed and not "symbolic"

Due: Tuesday beginning of class.
