Outdoor beauty - Due Friday April 24 - Art 1, Art 2 and Ceramics
Although we are all in quarantine, there is much to be thankful for!!! It is a week after Easter, He is Risen and spring is all around us. There is beauty in this challenging time. You just have to open your eyes and look.
Go outside and find something beautiful. Really, really look at it. Using 3 complete sentences, describe it here. Do not use the word nice, beautiful, lovely or pretty. Be descriptive!!! Below is what I saw and my written example.

There are small, snow white flowers in my front yard. The little petals are round and have specks of yellow, while the leaves are pointed which is an interesting contrast in shape. I didn't notice this at first, but when I looked closely, there are tiny buds which will produce more icy blooms later in the season. The neutral color of the pine straw and leaves provide a backdrop for the bright, clean green and sparkling white.

All Art Classes - Art 1, Art 2 and Ceramics
I hope you and your family had a Happy Easter!
You will be working on your mail art piece this week. Read the directions carefully and put it in your mailbox to go out by Friday.
Below is another example. Mrs. Simmons completed this for us. The first image is what I sent her, and the second is what she did with the same instructions that I sent you all. Have fun with it!
Look also at the examples from the last blog for more ideas.

All Art Classes (Art 1, Art 2 and Ceramics) - Mail Art
Mail art (also known as postal art and correspondence art) is a populist artistic movement centered on sending small scale works through the postal service. It initially developed out of the Fluxus movement in the 1950s and 60s, though it has since developed into a global movement that continues to the present.
We will be creating our own mail art pieces. I have mailed you instructions with some examples but see these below. What are your thoughts about this process?

Art Two - Painting before 1850
The paintings below were created before 1850 (and before the wide use of the camera). What are your thoughts?
Art One - Drawing in Pencil
The drawings below were all completed with pencil. Which is your favorite?
Ceramics - Wheel thrown pieces
See the examples of work thrown on the wheel. You will need to complete another wheel thrown piece for quarter 4. Instead of being graded on completion, it will be graded on size, thinness and overall form. This is a project grade. Do not wait until the last minute.

Art Two - more paint by number examples
Below are examples of more paint by number images. Notice how flat the colors are. Thoughts?
Art One - Victor Vasarely
Victor Vasarely, was a Hungarian–French artist, who is widely accepted as a "grandfather" and leader of the op art movement. His work entitled Zebra, created in the 1930s, is considered by some to be one of the earliest examples of op art.
What do you think? Which one is your favorite?
"Zebra" 1938 - This one is not radially symmetrical but is by Vasarely.

Next, select an image for your content, apply that artist's style and complete it in WATERCOLOR in your sketchbook. Below are examples.
