Holiday Fun!

Over the break Art 2-4 will be creating a Cubism - Zentangle of their faces. The steps and examples follow...

1. Take two different photos with two different angles and sizes using photo booth on your laptop.
2. Print both images to the black and white printer.
3.



"In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.<sup>[3]"

Another Sub Yet Again!!! So Sorry!

So today and possibly tomorrow you will have another sub... I am so sorry that I keep leaving you all and I feel terrible about it! My Momma isn't doing very well this time. She has been in the hospital since Tuesday night and I have been staying with her throughout the holiday. We are looking into moving her into a care facility either today or tomorrow for her Alzheimer's and other issues. I am very appreciative of all of your support, thoughts, and prayers! You all mean a lot to me and I am sorry that I cannot be there to teach you!!

This assignment is for all of you! (Art 1-4) This project will be several major grades and will include a presentation on Friday or Monday.

Assignment:

1. Choose a favorite artist! It can be a contemporary artist, a famous artist from long ago, any artist that creates artwork that you enjoy and that you can find tons of information about. These artists can create sculptures, paintings, graffiti, props, portraiture, animation, comics... this is your choice!

2. Research this artist and get me all kinds of facts about them. Include stuff like... where they are from; when they were born; what kind of education they had; what type of work they create; what type of style or movement that they are or were a part of; anything of interest would be great! I love strange facts!! Include their most popular and your most favorite artwork created by your artist.

3. Choose the way you would like to present your information. You can use Prezi, iMovie, Keynote, or Powerpoint. BE CREATIVE!!! I want you to include transitions, facts, images, and even sound if you want to! If you choose to do your presentation in iMovie you can pre-record what you plan to say so that you don't have to speak in front of the class!! Prezi is awesome as well, "Google it!" Teach yourself... your mind is the limit. Mrs. Sedgwick or Mr. Salazar would be happy to help you get started. You can even imbed YouTube videos of the artists' interviews or of them creating their work.

4. DOCUMENT ALL OF YOUR RESOURCES!!! You cannot steal anything without

5. Have fun with this and find an artist that you are really interested in! Remember to keep images and facts school appropriate! Many artists and their work are not!!


Grading Rubric:

1. Sub Daily Grade - How much you accomplish and how hard you work for the sub.

2. Wednesday Check Point Daily Grade - You need all of your research done! If you aren't half way finished you will have zero hall on Wednesday!!

3. Creativity Daily Grade - How unique and creative your is your presentation?

4. Artist Information Test Grade - Do you give me plenty of information about your artist? Are there any interesting facts? Are there good artwork images included? Is there any video, interview, or other flare added to the presentation?

5. Documentation Grade - Have you credited all of your research sites and information? "Google Image" is NOT an appropriate source for documentation. You need to find original sources for your information.

6. Presentation Test Grade - How well did you present the information? This encompasses all of the research and your choice of presentation.

7. Completion Grade - Did you finish the project on time? 10 points off and zero hall for every day you are late!

Best wishes to you all!!! This is going to be an individual project just in case you were wondering!

Love, Mrs. Stewart
