AP Art - 2nd semester sketch assignments

Your sketch assignments next semester will need to be only inspired by the assigned artist.  They must be ORIGINAL to you.  Look at several examples of the artist's work.  Next, select an image for your content, apply that artist's style and complete it in WATERCOLOR in your sketchbook.  You will need to use some of these in your Breadth section of your A.P. portfolio.  Below are examples.

All Art Students - Extra Credit - Socks

You may earn extra credit if you want or need it!  Macon Outreach serves the homeless population of downtown Macon.  They need socks.  You may bring in 2 new pair (or packs) of adult size socks that will keep feet warm during the winter months.  Be generous!  I will add 10 points to your blog grade for this.  This will make up for a blog that you missed.

Do not comment here.  Go to your class's blog and comment there. 
There is a blog assignment this week for Art One, Art Two and Ceramics.

Art One - Charcoal Drawings

See the drawings below.  They have been completed in charcoal.

Ceramics - Even More Teapots

If you have time, create cups to compliment your teapot.

Also, don't forget that everyone needs to complete their 2nd wheel thrown piece by December 13.  The art room will not be open during midterms for you to do this.  December 13 is the deadline to have it thrown, trimmed and signed and left to dry upside down in the clay room.  This piece will be graded on merit not complettion.
