Imagine....

Our students create some wonderful pieces of art both in and out of class. Sharing work within this blog will allow family and friends both near and far to appreciate the hard work that takes place in art class. This is also a great spot for students to check in to make sure they know what the next sketchbook assignment is and to share ideas on their current assignments.

Something is missing! Sketchbook due Monday, March 4th

The sketchbook assignment for the upcoming week is posted each Sunday evening....

If you checked on Sunday, you would not have found the instructions for your sketchbook assignment...it was missing.

That is your assignment for the week. You will draw an object with something missing from it. Don't be obvious! I should have to look at your object for a little while in order to notice that it is missing.

The above picture is a classic that goes around the internet from time to time...

Hmmm... what is missing?

here is my last example...

Sketchbook - Due Feb.25th

Draw something one would not expect to see in winter time; include it in a winter scene. Colour must be used.

That is all you get from me... I look forward to seeing how you approach this.

Don't let the winter blues get you down...Sketchbook due February 18th

The Blue Man Group is a creative performance art troupe based out of Boston. The performers are literally painted blue and the group is known for their quirky, and very creative performances.

This week's sketchbook assignment is a little bit different, in that rather than doing it in your sketchbook, it will be done using the computer and your finished piece will be emailed to me.

The link below takes you to their site and an opportunity to create a unique piece of artwork - surrealism. Your piece is performance art in the sense that when you are finished and have added a message, press preview and watch your work come to life. It is up to you to decide how much to include, the message you want to share etc. When you have finished your piece and are happy with it you have an option to "share" it via email. Please email it to me at my school address. Have fun being blue!
