Let's make some art this year!

Welcome back!  I am very excited to be teaching Art II this year.  We are going to be exploring in depth more materials and ways to use them.  There are a couple of ways that Art II is different than Art I.  Firstly, we will be using easels when creating our work.  That changes the dynamics of the classroom.  You will be encouraged to walk around, look at one another's work, and step back from your own work.  Secondly, a major difference between Art II and Art I is homework.  There is a lot more homework in Art II.  The homework assignments will not be small sketchbook assignments as in Art I.  In Art II, the homework will be full scale artwork.  You will be expected to spend a lot of time on your homework assignments.  Lastly, there are two groups of students taking Art II:  Regular and GT.  The GT student will have slightly different requirements than the regular students for each assignment. 

There are a few things I need for you to do in the first week of school. 
1) Have you and your parents sign the syllabus and turn it in to me.
2) Although I cannot require you to buy a sketchbook, it is HIGHLY recommended.  Please try and get one by September 6.
3)  I want to make sure that you have located this website.  Please post a comment to this post and give me the following information by September 6:

• Tell me your name.
• Tell me something unique about yourself.  I want to know something that I won't forget about you!
  
• Tell me why you decided to sign up for Art II
• Tell me what is your favorite way of making art
  

It is important to communicate with me and your fellow classmates.  Please feel free to post comments/questions at anytime regarding any post. 

Visual Journal assignments will be continued as well.  I will be going over Visual Journals during class sometime in the beginning wePlease find below the master sheet for visual journals:
