Posted 4/30/20- 2nd Weekly Choice
Follow the instructions listed under the 4/21/20 post and submit your work here. Make sure to check out the new content in the different tabs each week!
Posted 4/21/20-Update4/22 - Student Choice Schedule -Moving Forward
Moving forward I wanted to be able to give you several choices each week. Below you can find the tabs to those choices (including at the top of the page) and I will do my best to update with new content each week. It's my hope that you'll be able to find something that interest you in one of these and you only need to choose one. I also understand that some of these choices may take longer than others (such as the garden art or art contest choices) so I'm also ok with anyone who would like to submit images of works in progress for a weekly grade check. Grades will be placed into synergy this week for anyone who has already completed and submitted assignments. Here's the step by step breakdown for the last couple of weeks.
- Look through the tabs and find an assignment or mini project that interest you.
- Create, create, create! : ) I'm not expecting any more than about 30 minutes each week.
- Take a photo (or if you are working with a digital medium save your file). If your project is more indepth please take a photo of your "work in progress" to submit.
- Submit your work to me by emailing me at [email protected] OR using the weekly submission form below.

Posted 4/13/2020- Important! Read the bullets below please
Hi everyone! I want to take this week and prep you all for some new assignments but I need your help. Below is a bullet of a couple of ways you can help me prepare for you and other tasks you can keep on your radar.
- My email is [email protected]. If you ever have a difficult time submitting anything please feel free to just email me with your submission. Email me with anything you want to talk about or maybe you would like to share. I'm here for you all and would love to hear from you even if it's just a hello.
- Keep in mind that on this web page you will be reading assignments from bottom to top. I will always post new information at the top of the page. I am also going to start dividing each lesson by ****'s so you know where different lessons begin and end. Think of this page like a tower. The foundation (videos, tutorials, websites I really want you to see) for completing each assignment will be found at the bottom sections and the finished product will grow to the top of the tower. I hope that's not too confusing.
- I am going to go back to the first assignment and will attach a Weebly submission tab. I originally thought that most students would be using google classroom in other classes, but I see now that it is all over the place. The weebly submission tabs will allow you to add your assignments without the use of an email. I do have a space to add a way to contact you back, but it's not required. If you attach an email, make sure your spelling is correct. I had two students submit some great shadowology assignments, but the email was invalid when I tried to email them back.
- Start collecting some of your recyclables for some garden art and other activities. I was really bummed that we had to cancel Junk Yard Art Wars for this season and Mrs. Mast, Mr. Harbert, and I have been talking about ways we can keep working on the garden/planning for it. I will begin posting lesson's using certain items you can find around your home that can help with this process. You'll just need to hold onto them and bring them for the next school year.
- Recycled items you can use moving forward or save for the art classroom for next year- Lots O' Plastic-any plastic jug with a handle (like a milk carton), any plastic container that can be easily cut with scissors, 2 litter bottles (for the green house), plastic bags (including chip plastic bags), toilet paper or paper towel rolls, soda cans, juice or water cans, canned goods cans, scrap old paper mail (we'll be tearing this apart), old CD's, the plastic tops to anything (milk, juice, other containers).
- Make sure you wash each item... your parents will thank you. Milk in particular will begin to smell really bad if not washed out.
- If you've made it this far...woohoo! The only assignment for this week is to start hoarding your recycled goods AND post one sketchbook assignment below. The tab to the sketchbook prompts can also be found below.
- If you did one of the previous assignments already- go back and submit it! I would love to see what you created : ) I've only had about 10 submissions from all grade levels for any of the previous assignments at this point. I miss you all so much and I hope everyone is doing well.

Let's try some shadowology!
|
Posted 3/31/20-Take a look at the 4 shadow artists listed below. Think about how they are similar and/or different in their use of materials, light, and finished product. Are each artist's reason for making the shadow art the same? How do their ideas for inspiration differ?
Kumi Yamashita
Kumi Yamashita is a New York based Japanese artist born in 1968. Many of her works are created from a light source coming from the side and focused on simple objects to reveal complex shadow forms. To learn More about her visit her website link posted below.

Tim Noble and Sue Webster
British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster use trash, or as they would call it “rubbish,” to create their shadow art. Learn more about them by clicking on the article link to MyModernMet.

Abandoned School-Perspective Assignment
Suggested Upload Due Date 3/29/20
The hallways are empty at the school and no one is allowed inside... as far as we know. And that doesn't mean that there isn't plenty happening in there. Your job is to create a one or two point perspective drawing that illustrates what is lurking in the building without anyone to see. Is there a plant that has overgrown out of Mrs. Mast's room and is over taking the halls? Have the drones in Mr. Harbert's class developed a mind of their own and are now flying throughout the school? Maybe Mrs. Shannon's Library of Books have developed legs...no wait! Wings! and are dancing in the halls. What do you think? Use your imaginations to fill any space represented in the school (as long as you are using one or two point perspective). Think about what it would look like in different areas of the school. If your view is straight down a hallway you should use 1 point perspective. Or pretend you are standing in the larger square areas of the school and can see down a little bit of two different halls. Which perspective would you use then?

Hi students- I'm posting a few new documents today and moving on to 2 point perspective. I would like for you to watch the video on 2 point perspective in section 1 if you have already practiced your 1 point perspective. Remember, this concept can be difficult and I do not expect all of you to be at the same level of understanding. Do your best, always practice, and if you have mastered it...move on and give yourself a new challenge. Section 2 contains a few helpful links and some fun tutorials.

This is the same guide we took a look at in class if anyone wanted to try it or use it as a resource.

Two Point PerspectiveThis video tutorial shows you how to create 3 Dimensional boxes using two vanishing points on the horizon line. Notice how the boxes change when they are place over, on, and below the horizon line.
Questions to ask yourself

Want to learn more? Check out this tutorial by Stephanie M. Sipp in her book Exploring Perspective Hand Drawing Fundamentals for Interior Design (Second Edition). It has some great tips on 1 and two point perspectives in the first free chapter. Check it out!

Check out this 1 point optical illusion!
How could this illusion be applied in a 1 point perspective drawing? ...Hint. Look at the whole image when the artist angles the paper back. Or lowers the cameras viewpoint. If you follow the left and right sides of the actual paper they begin or would eventually converging into a point. Pause the video and trace the lines with your finger. Need more proof? Look at the image below where I’ve overlapped an image of a hallway demonstrating 1 point perspective.
Oh no Charlie Ann! Don't run towards that hole!

This image may be a bit better for you to understand. Notice how the lines of the lockers, the ceiling, and the edge of the paper are all head towards the vanishing point. Stop kids! You're goig to fall in that hole!

Oh no! They just keep dancing towards it?!?!?! It's like they have this uncontrollable urge to dance. Why will they not listen!? They must have their ear buds in... ; )
