Monday April 6th- TURN IN ALL ARTWORK AND ASSIGNMENTS FROM MARCH 23-APRIL 3
Tuesday April 7th
- Take a photo of all blizzard bag assignments that have not been turned in and email them to me at [email protected] If you have already emailed me certain parts of the Blizzard Bags you do not have to send me these parts again. Directions for how to email photos with an iPhone are HERE. Directions for an Android phone are HERE
- This is what you need to turn in if you did the ones on this website:
- Blizzard Bag 1- The 7 answers to the Inside Art quiz
- Blizzard Bag 2- Your Picasso styled portrait along with the paragraph that describes it
- Blizzard Bag 3- Your answers to the 3 questions about the mystery sculpture along with the 2 rough sketches of a similar sculpture
- If you did the Blizzard Bag handouts that I passed out at school, take photos of your sentences for each and email them to me.
- Now learn how to upload your Random Objects from Direct Observation Drawings to Artsonia by reviewing THIS PAGE (You should have drawn 7 total objects for this assignment)
- Upload your drawing (or drawings if you used more that one piece of paper) to Artsonia by following the directions above. You need to give your drawings a title (capitalize it) and you will need to answer the questions on the Artist Statement page when you get to it. You only have to answer the artist statement questions once for those of you who drew on and had to upload more than one piece of paper. Try to crop out empty negative space around your drawings and make sure there is good lighting. I recommend taking the photo(s) outside if you can. I will give you feedback about your artwork on Artsonia when I grade it. If you log back in to Artsonia after I grade it you will be able to see this feedback.
