Please post a response to the following by the end of class Friday the 13th along with 1 image (or 2 if 3D if you have your sculpture).

2D:  In this project you were forced to combine representation with abstraction in the way materials were used but also in a fractured sense of reality.  What can you take from this process into the future as we begin concentrations?

3D:  How did the digital interface affect your ability to sculpt?  Is there an application for this technique in your concentration idea?

BS

Upload an image of your work (2-3 if 3D) and answer the following prompt with 3-5 well developed sentences:

How did it affect your process to have light be such a strong element in your design?  What did it enable you to do that you could not have otherwise?  How could you utilize light in the execution of a concentration?

Due: Monday November 18

Assignment 3:  Post an edited image of your Conversation Between Forms Project (2 if 3D).  This should be edited in Photoshop using the Crop tool (4th from top on left), and the Image Adjustments Tab at top to adjust value and contrast using Levels and Curves and Color Balance to adjust color to be accurate.  ( all three found in Image Adjustments).

Answer the following:

If you were to continue this project as a concentration what would be the next step?  What materials, techniques, and strategies could you see taking from this project into the concentration process?

Due: Monday October 21st

Welcome to the AP Studio Art info and assignments blog!

As your first assignment, create your own blog.  This can be one that you already maintain and you should see it as your own creativity blog.  You can include posts about art that have nothing to do with class assignments.

-Once you have created it, send me the url link at bensteele@westminster.net

-Document our cards project, edit images if necessary and post all images on your blog.

-Along with the images answer the following question in 3-5 well written sentences:  The speed we worked, the need to work back and forth between pieces, and the firm deadline are things that were new to you.  How did working on this series in this manner help you in thinking about how to go about working on a concentration?

Due: Monday September 30th
