Studio Art 2 is our first course that was tracked for a full year. The intent of this course was for sophomores, or students who have had some type of art background, be it drawing, painting, photography or 3D works; to work on a full year of developing their visual voice. Many students that signed up for this year long course are new to art so I have decided to start with our basic introductory level of elements and principles of design. Our first project will be to incorporate at least 3 elements and 3 principles into a work of art that is a physical and artistic representation of YOU the ARTIST. We will draw on inspiration from some fashion illustrations with use of mixed media being we have a variety of skill level at this early point with drawing.
See the examples below for our inspiration.
These examples are from students that attend the University of Westminster who have taken a course in Fashion Illustration.
I am looking forward to seeing what our students come up with as they construct their artistic inner self. I will be sure to post the finished products by the end of September!
I also would like to add that our HONORS Studio Art Class has made a comeback this year after having a long hiatus from GHS. I am really excited about this class as it will be a rigorous course in self examination, mastering technique and a prerequisite for an AP level Studio Art class that will arrive at GHS in the near future.
Once again, I am really excited about the beginning of the school year and start of a new journey!
I like the way the artist used lines to create what, looks from afar, a brick-like pattern. The same technique used for the cheek pattern gave a different effect, sort of like human muscle at first glance.

ReplyDeleteI like the way they blended the magazines and the drawings together. I wish I did better on mine!
ReplyDeleteI like the way the artist draws your attention in using unexpected color in his piece. I also like the way the man appears to be leaning on a wall but there is nothing supporting him
ReplyDeleteI like how they used the little lines to take up all of the negative space
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the fourth picture down. Particularly the way they used colors to accent the facial expression, give the art some character, and really make it pop. Other things I liked about this specific piece of art is the posture in which the person stands. The crossing of the legs implies that the person is laid-back.
ReplyDeleteI was really amazed at how natural the material mix looks, and I love how abstract the pictures themselves look (particularly the faces). The clothes designs and color choices also make the pictures nice to look at.
ReplyDeleteI like how they used magazine along with some drawing. It looks really cool.
ReplyDeleteI love how magazine pieces where incorporated into the drawings and also adds a lot more texture to their artwork. They look awesome!
