Lessons:
Having proper understanding of the process, expectations, and practices of a studio style art room is essential to setting students up for a successful semester. My philosophy is that the studio represents not just my space, but also the students space. Because of this, taking ownership and accountability in the classroom is key.
Through this lesson, students will gain a deeper understanding of Studio Expectations and the Care and Handling of Art supplies.
WHATS IN YOUR SKETCHBOOK?
-
Sketchbooks must contain all notes provided by the teacher, but taken in a way that tricks me into thinking it's art!
-
Fill the page. Each sketchbook should be filled to the edges. Submissions should be between 1 to 2 pages total.
-
Always think about originality - Examples of spreads will be given, however make it your own. This means changing the elements of art like changing the colors, shapes, space, etc.
-
Craftsmanship is key - 25% of your grade is made up of the condition of the artwork, meaning no evidence of tears, folds, crumbling, etc.
-
Examples of expectations for student sketchbooks can be seen over there.
