Welcome to Art 3/4 with Mrs. Schneid

This class focuses on exploring different art mediums.  You are encouraged to become your own artist and find your own style of art that reflects who you are in this class.  When your art is hung people should be able to tell who the artist is by the style they use within their art.  You will develop this along the way if you do not already know your own personal style.  You will use several different types of mediums from Acrylic Paints, Oil Paints, Encaustic wax Paintings, Different drawing mediums and much more.  This class is designed for students that have a unique talent and love for art.  It is self driven and paced.  I look forward to seeing what you created throughout this semester.

Assignment #1

A Triptych is a series of 3 pictures that go together as one.

Silhouettes

We are going to do something a little different- you will be coming out of you comfort zone of using paint on paper.  Let's take a look at a famous artist and see how we can replicate what she has down within out school.  This will be a group project.

KARA WALKER

Kara Walker (American, b. 1969) is best known for her room-size tableaux of black cut-paper silhouettes that examine the underbelly of America's racial and gender tensions. Her works often address such highly charged themes as power, repression, history, race and sexuality.

Walker began creating pieces in order to tell a story or make a statement rather than achieve beauty or perfection. "I guess there was a little bit of a slight rebellion, maybe a little bit of a renegade desire that made me realize at some point in my adolescence that I really liked pictures that told stories of things—genre paintings, historical paintings—the sort of derivatives we get in contemporary society," 

Examples from another school:

Welcome to Art 3

I'm glad you all made it this far and have shown an interest in Art to still be here with me:) As you know our class period is going to be a bit crazy so please check the blog site as you begin and end each assignment so that you know what I expect from you for all assignments. 

Please watch the video that I made below on how to get started on using Photoshop.  Use one of your own photos and follow along with my instructions to get familiar with Photoshop.  Please use headphones if you have them.
