Setting GOALS

One of the essential parts of an Advanced Art class is for each individual person to think about where they are in their own art making journey and reflect on what they WANT and what they NEED. The class is not a race with winners and losers, but it is a journey that we are on together and it would be great if we all feel accomplished at the end.
My teaching goals include; getting to know my students (better) as individual artists and people, creating a safe, inclusive and inviting place for making artwork, and also finding and sharing some inspiration and technical information.
My professional goals include using; technology to communicate clearly, which include using this BLOG, the grade program Synergy! and Google Classroom, and to integrate more with the Portland Art community including Portland Art Museum, local galleries, lectures etc.. We will begin with the Diebenkorn show and other landscapes at the PAM. *Lecture on 9/8! Lets GO! -Ms. Lilly

Welcome to Advanced Draw/Paint/Print class!!

Welcome back! It seems like summer just began, and now a new school year is here.
This will be an exciting year full of learning and exploration.
My summer was filled with adventures with my children and dog, and traveling often!

I attended a workshop training about Collaborative Problem Solving.

I did some great art making like the workshop with
Baba Wague Diatke and other PPS Art Teachers.

Went to set up Oregon Country Fair
to draw numbers on carts.
I designed and drew plans for remodeling our bathroom,
(I became an architect!)
My son and I deconstructed the old space.

We went boogie boarding and surfing at the coast.

We went to Maine and Massachusetts and had reunions with our three mothers' families.

Made Paper HATS at Pickathon!

Went to the Portland Art Museum and looked at CARS and Diebenkorn's landscapes,
and got ready for school..... and now here we are!

Sketchbook work snapshot!

Most class periods will involve some kind of work in the SKETCHBOOK.
Students are expected to use visual prompts, class visuals, the ARTTALK book etc.

Students work to complete the assigned sketchbook work as they learn new skills, media, terms and how to better articulate what they are creating.

SKETCHBOOK WORK:

Draw examples of and explain with words == label clearly all of the following terms:

Look at, describe and define GESTURE line drawing
Define PROPORTION and Use the handout information and sketch the human figure that is

IN proportion (USE the 8 sections)

List many ACTIONS that show human movement as you can think of- add ideas from others to this list
Record notes for what ways E. Muybridge Etienne-Jules Marey, Duchamp, and Richter show movement
Create study drawings of different action poses using gesture lines to gather ideas about position and proportion. Stay loose and fluid!
Divide a page into 2 parts and sketch the “Skeletal System” and the “Muscular System”

Here is a photo breakdown for the sketchbook work for this last project.

Using PHOTOGRAPHS to make Artwork

The BEST way to utilize photographs in artwork is to take the picture yourself. Next best would be to have a friend or relative (someone you know) let you utilize a photograph that they took WITH THEIR PERMISSION. The other way to utilize a photograph in making a drawing or painting would be to utilize a professional photographer's photo. You will either PAY to use the image or find images from an OPEN SOURCE website and use Photos that are available for public use.
Some Open Source Photography sites Include:
stock free images
dreamstime
openstock
