Critique - Wednesday?

Okay - If we have class on Tuesday the critique is Tuesday, if we have class on Mon/Wed the critique is Wednesday.

I don't get the schedule and frankly I can't remember if we are a blue day or white day class. I have 52 school days left to figure it out. Yes that's right 52 school days for Seniors and 60ish for everyone else. Wow!

Critique - Tuesday 30th

Our second to the last critique is this Tuesday! Yikes. You still need to do a blog update/sketchbook and a blog comment. You'll survive.

I want you to plan on working on your next pieces in class on Tuesday. You have three pieces due in April and you will need all the class time you can get. For the critique I will work with each of you to photograph your new pieces. That work will need to get on your blog so that students from other schools can critique your work. So to recap.....

Tuesday - Blog comment, sketchbook/update, two pieces of art. One at a time Ms McB will call you into the darkroom, talk about your work, teach you how to photograph it, etc. You will work on your next concentration pieces while you wait to photograph. Sometime during the week you need to get those images and post them onto your blog.

The final three pieces will need to be done by the AP Art Showcase which is April 29th. This is such a great event where we all all get to celebrate the amazing work you have done. Almost finished!

Cow Committee


It's crunch time for the cow. The cow needs to be done by the 9th of April. We need a dedicated bunch of painters. Do you want to be on the cow committee? Do you have early release? Late arrival? Willing to stay after school a few days? Would you be willing to spend some of that time working on the cow. Let us know, we need to start tomorrow, yes tomorrow getting to work. Just respond here and then let Anne or Ms. McB know when you are available. Sign ups will be back by the cow on the wall, with times and dates.

Go Pacer Cow!!!!

Photo Realism - They are DRAWINGS and PAINTINGS



Whats great about art is the variety. These images may not be your aesthetic but you have to admit they are amazing. Who has the time for this kind of stuff! Crazy. Speaking of time, hope you are all actively working on your concentrations. Two due at the end of this month. Three in April and then you are home free!

here's the website if you want to see all of them. Mind blowing. http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/photorealistic-pencil-drawings

Enjoy....

Life drawing coming soon to a high school near you

We have a life drawing session on March 31, 2010 from 6:30 - 8:00. Usually we have the models for two hours so we will most likely work straight through with a tiny break. The belly dancers are excited to come again.

Here's their website if you want to take a look at who we might be drawing!
