2010 CLAHK AHT SHOW
MAY 12

Greetings Clark Artists!

OK, I fell off the Blog Wagon for a bit, but here we are in a new quarter, the LAST quarter of the year! Yowzah!

Here are some important notes for HS and both Group 5s:

HIGH SCHOOL - Freshmen & Sophmores: Hopefully the weather will coperate and we can start our graphitti art on Tuesdaay! I'll bring the boards and primer. Please finalize your choice for a tag name and come with ideas of how you want to design it and add embelishments to it. Please supply your own really cool colors, I'll get the basics (red, blue, black, yellow, green, white, puple). If you want your own set to work with or if you know you're going to use a lot of one specific color, it's up to you to bring it!!! This is why having a good idea of what you are doing is important.

HIGH SCHOOL - Juniors & Seniors: We'll get to work on your final piece. I'll supply the canvases and paint. PLEASE come ready with some ideas - even if it's just a style you want to work in.


BOTH GROUP 5s: Remember that trip to the MFA? Remember the paper I had you fill out while we were there? A few of you passed it in... if you have it, please pass it in, if you don't please go to their website http://www.mfa.org/ and look up a piece that you saw, and do the paper from that. I'll print some up and give them to Denise and Jodi. Those who passed it in before the end of the 3rd quarter will get full credit.

ALSO: Based on the Jackson Pollack documentary we watched, please do the following essay: "What Makes A Peice Of Art 'Good'?" ESSAY DUE Wed April 7 Really think about this. Did YOU know who Jackson Pollack was before you watched this? Did you side with the art critics, or with the truck driver? Do you have judgments about who they seem to be - and does that influence your judgement? I can tell when you guys fluff this off, so really think about it.
1 page, 12pt, 1 inch margins, & NAME on top please!

Group 5 Green: We will be exploring the underground world of graphic novels, and I will bring in the work I did years ago with some friends when we tried to put one together. Be thinking about topics for doing a one page graphic novel!!!!!

Group 5 Blue: We will be FINISHING the ceiling mural - RIGHT?!!! I'd like to get this buttoned up so we can move on. Talking will be kept at a minumum. It's crunch time - let's git er done!!!

I'd like to finish so you have time to work on a final project and enter it into the Art Show in May. You will have a choice: Strange Sci-Fi B Movie Poster, or Lawn sculpture. Please come to me with your ideas and which project you'd like to work on.

All other groups, keep on keepin' on!
