So excited to start of this year! Finally! Here is what we have in store for the semester.
I am planning on making this course a little different then I have before. You are going to be shown a bunch of different mediums to choose from at the beginning of the year and those are the mediums you are able to explore and try out on any of your assignments. I will give demonstrations on an as needed basis. I think this will give everyone more freedom to try the things they think look cool and stick around some mediums that they find successful. BUT you do have to explore some new mediums, since Art 3 is about coming up with a personal style and knowing what is out there. So from 1 lesson to the next you some how have to switch up your medium. You can come up with mixed media projects and things I don't even show you. Have fun with it and try your hardest.
I will be giving you themes this year for your assignments and you can go whichever way you want with them. They will be very vague.
I want everyone's artworks to look unique and creative in their own way. No 2 artworks should remotely resemble each other. I think you will all enjoy this course with having some freedom to choose from a bunch of different mediums.
I can't wait for to see what you are all capable of.
THEME #1: REFLECTIONS
Please dig deep to find something unique and different that also reflects you in some way, as all of your artworks should.

Final Project
You get to choose from 1 of the following 3 assignments as your final for Art 3. Remember at this point all other assignments are due by the end of the Quarter unless I have told you personally otherwise.
On both of these options, I want you to research and discover your own interpretation of each. They can both be interpreted in many ways. Let's see what you can come up with. I don't want you to copy something straight from the internet. I want to see your creative side and what you can come up with.
Choice #1:
Create a picture within a picture. You can interpret this as hidden imagery or 2 images that somehow relate to the same theme. Drawing must be no smaller then 12x18. Must show great use of value-going from dark to light-you can not use solid colors. Showing great value shows me that you are at the advanced level and that you are ready to move onto Art 4.
Choice #2:
Create an artwork that shows Emphasis on one particular thing. Drawing must be no smaller then 12x18. I should clearly be able to tell what image is the image you are emphasizing. You must show me great use of value as well, like I said in Choice #1.
Choice #3:
Showcase the 4 different seasons into one artwork in your own way. You can show the actual nature of the seasons or you can depict the seasons in a unique way using images or people.
For any of these assignments I am giving you the opportunity to use Oil Paints. I will have to give you some major tips that you must know in order to use them. And for those of you who are unaware of oil paints, Oil Paints are what I use on all of my paintings. They stay wet for weeks, but the nice thing is you can come back the next day and mix into the colors you were working on the day before.
All of these projects will be done on drawing paper or painting paper. We have all used the canvas boards at this point, so lets stick with paper for this one.
One last thing, ALL OF YOUR ARTWORKS NEED TO BE DONE FROM UNIQUE OR DIFFERENT ANGLES. DIFFERENT THEN THE NORM. AND YOU SHOULD USE YOUR OWN IMAGERY UNLESS DOING YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING YOU CAN NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF YOURSELF.
