Who is ___________? (assignment) -Research, ingenuity, a modern artist in mind. 

-Modern/contemporary art is all around us.  It reflects the thoughts and feelings of the world and help us to understand ourselves and the world around us (sort of sounds like all forms of art doesn't it?).

-Assignment #8 - Students are asked to respond to the question "Who is ________________?".  Students are to choose a modern/contemporary artist (20th centure forward) to present (or represent).  How can this be done you ask?  There are many ways.  Some suggestions may include...

  

=>Create a poster presentation describing the life of the artist, the art they created, the impact of that art, etc. etc.

 

=>Recreate origninal pieces of the chosen artist pointing out the common elements that the artist focused upon.  Be sure to include a write up about the artist themselves.

 

=>A verbal presentation to the class outlining the life, work, etc. of the artist.  (Be sure to include a large visual component)

 

=>A powerpoint presentation that speaks for itself including any and all possible forms of media that will adequately illustrate the life and work of the chosen artist.

 

=>A short video project highlighting all important aspects of the chosen artist.

 

=>...and many more options that only need to be suggested to be considered.

Reductive sculpture stamp -styrofoam, tools, ink

Assignment #11 - Students are to take a styrofoam piece and create a reductive sculpture.  To do this they sketch an initial shape or picture on the styrofoam and then "reduce" the piece.  By removing all the unneccessary parts from the piece the students are left with a stamp or woodcut.  This is then used to roll or paint upon and then used as a stamp.

Soapstone Carving  -soapstone, carving tools  Assignment #12 - We had a guest teach our art students the basics of carving soapstone.  Students are encouraged to engage further in this concept to include a larger soapstone carving.  Soapstone is provided by Mr. Ewert.   
Plaster/wire sculpture -galvanized steel wire, hot glue, plaster of paris, cardboard. Assignment #13 - Students are to create "action without movement".  To do this students create a wire structure of a human form involved in an action stance.  The goal is to create the illusion of movement in a still sculpture.  Once students feel their sculpture has adequate balance, proportion, and position, they complete the sculpture by covering the wire frame with plaster.   
Blind Contour (in class) -paper, blind contour objects -Assignment #14 - Students have engaged in some blind contour activities during various classes.  Students are to submit at least two in-class examples of blind contour.   
Drapery -lamp, something to drape, charcoal, pencil, paper - Assignment #15 - Students are asked to engage in sketching drapery to experiment the use of value to create form.  Students are required to complete 2 quality pieces.
