The third quarter AP students will explore "Painting as a Language - Material, Technique, Form, Content". We will be referring to this text by Jean Robertson and Craig McDaniel and focus on chapter 1 to expand our journal skills and on chapter 8 titled Expanded Forms and Ideas.
This is a challenging step to higher level thinking and working in visual arts.
We will complete three exercises.
1. Challenging hierachies - students will create an artwork that mixes materials and images from more than one of the categories described.
2. Appropriation - students will create a painting in which the composition or subject matter is appropriated from one artist while the style is appropriated from another artist.
3. Layering Languages - Students will create a painting whose content borrows or addresses the language of another nonart discipline.
Students please see additional information in the handouts provided.
All students will upload images of previous works to their digital portfolio on the school server.
