Extra Art-Wire Figures

Today we are introducing a new medium to the sculpture studio. Artists sometimes use wire to make Sculputure. 

We are using pipe cleaners to create our figures. We will embellish them with beads, buttons, and yarn. 

Observe-Drawing Animals and Objects Using Shapes and Outlines

Drawing from Observation

If you look closely at something, you can find the shapes. 

Drawing with Shapes Video

The SHAPE APPROACH to drawing animals:

1. Look at the shape of your animal.
2. Draw the basic shapes.
3. Begin with an oval for the body.
4. Next add the head, neck, tail, face and details

The OUTLINE or CONTOUR APPROACH to drawing animals:
1. Look closely at your animal
2. Begin at the top of your animal's head.
3. Keep your eyes on the animal, and let your pencil move as your eyes move along with the edge of the shape of the animal. Sometimes it helps to keep your place on your animal with your finger as you look and draw.

Reflection:
What approach was your favorite? (Thumbs up thumbs down)

Do you have your own approach to drawing animals?

Artist Trading Cards (Extra Art)

Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature artworks about the same size as trading cards or baseball cards.

Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or fiber.
The cards are usually traded or exchanged.

For more information on ATCs visit Beth Williams' art blog :)

What studio will you choose?

Trash To Treasure-Featured Artist-Tyree Guyton

Tyree Guyton grew up in a poor neighborhood, messing around with junk, creating his own toys. His Grandpa Sam, who was a house painter, taught him to use paint. When he returned from serving in the army, he found his old neighborhood really rundown, so in 1986 he began what was called the Heidelberg Project, cleaning up and using paint and trash to make things beautiful again. 

You can make a house  in the sculpture studio out of cardboard. 

How will you embellish your house with paint and found and recycled objects? 

DAY 1

1.  Think about what shape you want the front of your house to be.
2. Make a detailed plan. Cut it out.
3. Raise your hand and show your art teacher your plan.
4. With permission, get 2 cardboard pieces to begin making your house. 
5. Trace house plan on cardboard pieces and cut them out. 
   
   
   DAY 2
   1. Get cardboard for sides of house.
   2. Measure out pieces, mark and cut cardboard.
   3. Get a base and begin to assemble house.4. Remember to use Tabs or  L-braces to hold up and connect the walls. Use hot glue SPARINGLY, if you are overusing it, or using it in place of tabs and braces you will have to use ELMERS GLUE. Any windows that you want cut out, mark in pencil for teacher to cut.
