Today's Class and Tonight's Homework - Thursday June 8, 2017
ART RESPONSE ASSIGNMENT
Supplies Needed:
~ Your printed painting (last night's homework)
~ A piece of blank white drawing paper
~ Blank lined paper from journal section of binder
~ Coloring supplies
Assignment Procedure:
~ Using the picture as a reference point, recreate it to your best ability on the blank white piece of paper.
~ Next, label your picture using descriptive words and phrases (colors, textures, etc.). I want to see SPARKLE words and phrases, so labels like "good use of color" or "kinda bumpy" aren't going to work. If you need to consult the thesaurus, you may do so (either text form or online form - with permission)
~ Using your list of descriptive words and phrases, write a 300 word (minimum) to 600 word (maximum) describing the art work you selected. Spend some time addressing what the artist may have been feeling and/or why they painted this in this manner. What is the painter trying to say? Make sure you include the artist AND the title of the artwork in the topic sentence.
HW - Read to pg. 137 for Thursday
Student Conference RSVP DUE Friday
