You got to show me what you know already by doing a drawing activity on Tuesday. You got to learn what is needed to Survive my class on Wednesday. The first of many projects was started on Thursday and today you are in your Groove and doing what you are suppose to be doing... CREATING!!!!

I am trying to get this image to post in a Contact Me tab at the top of the page. But until then, It's going to be here!!! For all your Art de Caddell needs, you can bookmark this image. I am going to hand out cards next week hopefully.

Have a wonderful weekend.

NITTY GRITTY DAY

Today we are going to go through the dreaded Nitty Gritty. But hopefully it will be fine.
I will be covering the Rules/Procedures/Expectations/Grades with all my classes. Students are to then sign a sheet stating they viewed the powerpoint.
Here is the link to the PowerPoint for anyone who would like to view it. I will also include it in the Rules/Expectations Tab at the top of this blog.

HAPPY 2015-16 SCHOOL YEAR

Wow. It's already the beginning of the school year. Where did summer go?
I am getting the last minute details in order for this school year. I hope you find this blog to be a helpful way to keep up with what is going on in class. I will also be using Schoology. I haven't figured that out completely but I am working on it :)

Playing Card Design

PreAP/DRAW 3- Students are creating their own Playing cards. They will then use Ink and Watercolor to complete them. They are loving this idea. 

Watercolor continued

Watercolor Project

ART ONE students have been creating a Design Graph for their Watercolor Project. As you see in the picture, they were to create a 3 inch grid on Manilla paper. They were to draw 3 seperate ideas across the top and then 3 along the side. I suggested Lines then Shapes. After they have done this, they are to combine their ideas to create designs. They are to then add more elements to the squares. 

After they have done their Graph (Formative Grade), they are to select one of their squares and apply that design onto Watercolor Paper, for their project (Summative grade). 

I will be doing a Watercolor Demonstration on different techniques they could apply to their project, on Wednesday. There is no Color criteria, just to be creative and have fun.
