Students brought home a syllabus tonight, please sign and return them to Mrs. Gaut during art class.
Students need a pencil and sketchbook for Monday's class. Students are creating an artwork with at least one cartoon character. Students are drawing a setting that incorporates a foreground, middle ground, and background. Students are using the elements of art and principles of design to compose their piece. The last step is to create the bone structure of the character on transparency paper and lay it over their original drawing. Students were inspired by Jason Freeny's anatomical cartoon sculptures. Students are creating reproductions of Pablo Picasso's cubist style portraits.
If you are interested in signing up for art club, please download the application or come see me for a printed application. The application asks for three teacher recommendations, parent permission, and a $25 supply fee. I am taking the first 20 applicants with great teacher recommendations. Please do NOT send in the 25$ until after you know you are for sure in the club. Thank you! Please look closely to the parent letter for art club dates and the explanation of what we will be working on all year.
Artwork and artist statement are due at the end of class Friday August 17th. You may hand write or type your statement. Please make sure that your statement describes and reflects what is portrayed in your artwork. Check spelling!!

Students are required to get a sketchbook by Monday's class. We will be using this sketchbook daily and it will be 40% of the students grade. I also sent home a sketchbook order form if you would like to purchase one from the school for $5.00. The money goes directly back into the art program for supplies. Looking forward to having an exciting quarter! |
