I have seven examples just so you can see how you might do it. Either do it on a google doc like any other assignment, or just briefly in the comments below the assignment post in Google Classroom. No big form to fill out or steps to follow, but why don’t you share their name with me, along with where they’re from, and what kind of art they make and why you like it. When there’s an artwork you like, find the artist’s name and then look them up. If you haven’t yet, do a search of Instagram, Pinterest or just Google with something you’re interested in (hunting, make-up, basketball, fortenite, whatever) and the word “art.” just see what comes up. This is kind of a good segway into another Studio Habit for this week, Stretch & Explore. Last week, I assigned them to choose an artwork by another student at Boyer Valley and fill out a form giving them feedback.īut I also hoped you might also Explore the Art World (one of the 8 Studio Habits of Mind) by seeking out new art or artists working today that are still alive. Mallory, attach them to this post on Google Classroom, or best of all- upload them right away to Artsonia!Ī couple of weeks ago I encouraged my Art students to do an “aesthetic scan” of a famous artwork. PLEASE– Take pictures of your Art explorations and email them to Mr. Draw some of these new weird things you’ve taken pictures of. NOW- Now you have things on your phone that you could draw.Try drawing on cardboard or a paper bag, wrapping paper, gum wrappers, old books or board.Don’t have paint? Try painting with coffee, tea, punch, juice or softdrinks.Usually draw with a mechanical pencil or a marker? Try using a wooden pencil, or a ballpoint pen or a Q-tip dipped in paint or ink. Try drawing with something you don’t usually use.On that phone walk look for things that look like letters and then use those pictures to spell out words- even messages.Find as many things as you can that look like faces to you (that aren’t) and take pictures of them. PAREIDOLIA CHALLENGE pareidolia is when you see faces in things that aren’t… well, human faces. ![]() Socks that look like animals, food that looks like faces, bottles that look like buildings. On that phone walk look for things that look like other things.Try looking specifically for examples of the elements of design: line, color, shape, space, texture, value. It can be around the block, around your yard, around your house or just around your room. Take a walk with your phone taking pictures of things you wouldn’t normally even look at.Draw the square or rectangle boarders first and then fill in the composition. Think it’s too complicated? Crop it into a simpler, but interesting composition. Instead of looking for pictures to draw on Pinterest or Google, look on your own phone’s picture folder! Pick something to try to draw or paint that you’ve already taken a picture of.Here is a short list of easy ideas that would be perfect to try during quarantine. Put things together in new ways and make collage (pictures), frottage (texture rubbings) or assemblage (3-D found object collage). It could be magazines or old photos or newspapers. It could be trash, it could be natural, it could be junk in the garage, attic, basement, barn or wherever. One thing they’d try- like improv comedians, is to scavenge around for objects that suggested ideas to them. ![]() They wanted to connect with their unconscious minds so they’d engage in “automatism,” improvisational, serendipitous drawing and painting. The DaDaists and Surrealists were great at this. See what you can do, don’t worry so much about how it will turn out. It’s always a great idea anytime you start something new to just explore, play and experiment. However you think of it- on the one hand it may mean moving outside your comfort zone, but on the other hand, it can mean letting go of rules and expectations and just letting yourself loosen up and have fun. Perhaps it means doing what you’ve done before, but trying a new way of doing it. Maybe it means trying a different subject matter. ![]() Maybe that means working in a new medium. Essentially this Studio Habit means to try new things.
