In Photography we recently finished our artist research project and now it's time to get Meta and create an image inspired by something you learned from one of the photographers we studied. the image can be a direct interpretation of one of their works or a work inspired by something the believe in philosophically or do technically. The edited images are due on Wednesday.
In Photography we are going to be working on our Artist Research Project this week. I introduced you to the work of photographers in class:
Robert Frank
Sebastiao Salgado
Marilyn Minter
Steve McCurry
Annie Leibovitz
We will learn about them more formally and now you will choose and research a photographer and share their work with class. Each student should create a slideshow with the following:
1 coverpage including photographer image and name
10 bulleted biographical notes of interest
20 images of artwork appropriate for class
Below are the photographers that you chose to research, we will have an assessment on all of them are we learn about them and share their work next week:
This week in AP Art is the last to enter the Young Arts contest which closes on Oct 16, 2015. Enter for a chance for scholarships and a chance to be nominated for theU.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts.
We will also have the Hartford Art School visit tomorrow, Wednesday at 10:20 to discuss their program and review portfolios. Above is a great video showing one of the school's recent pop-up shops in town.
Finally, we will begin our artist research project this week so each student will be assigned two artists that reflect their work in some way. Create a presentation with a cover featuring the artist's image, a short 1 page bulleted biography with sources and 20 full size images of their work. Below is the master list of artists. After the research and presentation you should create a piece inspired by anything you learned about either or both of the artists. We will share the presentations next week and have a short visual and written test on them afterwards. Emily A- Alex Katz & William Kentridge
To begin the second semester we will be researching artists who work in three dimensional art, sculpture, printmaking, and graphic design which are the major units we'll be covering. Below is the master list of artists we'll be covering and just as we did last semester we'll have a test on them after the presentations. Check the assignment drive to see which artist you've been assigned and complete a PowerPoint with 10 full slide images, 10 relevant facts, and a title page with the artists name, birth (and death) and your name and period by Friday 2/7.
