Art One - Erasing/Selecting on Photoshop

Watch the following video.  It will show you three ways to erase without using the eraser.  It's not very long.  There are MANY more videos on YouTube that can show you different tricks using Photoshop.

AP and Art 3 -

Everyone has a project due this Friday!

Art 3, make sure you have a good range of values (black, white and grays in between) along with little color here and there.  Use your creativity!

Instead of a Friday assignment, work two hours outside of class time on your project.  This "freebie" won't happen often, so take advantage.

Hannah, Kelly, Madison and Martha - you MUST set up your AP access and Breadth images ASAP!  The instructions were on a previous blog.  Look back to find it.

Ceramics - Blog One

Welcome to ART@FPD!!!!  We will have a great semester. You will need to check the blog every week.  I usually post it by Tuesday, and you will need to comment before your class time on Friday.

Have you ever worked with clay before?  When was it and what did you make?  Don't forget to sign your name or you won't get credit.

ART 2 - Masks from around the world

Masks are a very interesting topic. They can be used to mask our real physical faces for fun but can also been used to reveal our inner selves. In rituals, shamans or role players use masks to act out mythical characters, archetypes or personas (persona literally meant “mask” in ancient Latin). We all have these characters either individually or collectively dwelling in our dreams or inner worlds. One good way to get to the meaning of these characters is to bring them out into the open. The ancient world used masks to symbolize and convey personalities and emotions that defined their cultures. Some cultures have come up with some very distinct styles but some similar types of masks can be seen across cultures worldwide. For example you can find many skulls, demons, bird-men or wolf-men all over the globe. Here is a small sample of masks.

Art 3/AP Art - Friday Assignment

Recreate a work by natural installation artist Robert Smithson.

Start thinking about a natural installation of your own.  We will talk more about this but it will be due Friday, February 20.

AP/Art 3 - Friday assignment due January 9

Look at work by the following natural art installation artists:
Jenni Tieaho
Jaakko Pernu
Patrick Dougherty

Recreate as a drawing using pencil, colored pencil or watercolor in your sketchbook.

FYI - you will create your own natural art installation which will be due Feb. 20.  You will construct, document it and turn in two 8x10 photographs of it.  You will also need to have the digital files saved in your Breadth section of your porfolio.  3D students will need to engage the space in terms of height, width and depth.  2D students will need to think in terms of height and width like a drawing or painting.  This is an OUT OF CLASS assignment.  Be thinking!
