AP ART: Art Attack

Now that the AP Studio Art test is over it is time for an Art Attack so this week we will be watching clips of films on artists and exploring techniques which we didn't have time for while preparing for the test.  We will also be creating a project collaboratively so we'll look at some of the possibilities such as the great time-lapse film above of a mural painting by Eric Skotnes in the theme of "awakenings" for Soul Pancake.

Media Arts: The End

Tomorrow is the last day of Media Arts class as well as the final exam which reflects all the things we've (hopefully) learned this semester.  Here's one last art attack from Soul Pancake in the fitting theme of mortality to celebrate the end of our time together!  Best of luck!

AP ART: Repetition and Rhythm in Art

The focus for the next AP Art breadth piece will be using repetition and rhythm in Art.  When we talk about repetition and rhythm the names Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol often arise and for good reason because Pollock's drip paintings are somewhat related to Jazz music and include beautiful rhythms and Warhol is the master of repeating an image for effect but there are many other more subtle ways to include these elements in your work as well. The time-lapse video above is from the Soul Pancake website and shows artist Jeni Yang creating a piece in the theme of 'protection' which incorporates these elements in an interesting and unique way.  What's your unique way of working with repetition and rhythm?  Let's find out and share the results when the pieces are due on Monday!
