GLEN ROSE JR HIGH ART BLOG

This art obviously has a lot of different, bright colors. That makes it very attractive. It’s consistency of different colors make it overwhelming and eye catching. It seems to show different characters who look small and fuzzy, submitting words like “yes!”, and so on. I found this picture at http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://ffee.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/deck_post_cup.jpg&imgrefurl=http://ffee.wordpress.com/2009/06/23/cup-of-great-coffee/&usg=__ToXR3j9daH2ibEbclklZFK6iQSE=&h=655&w=500&sz=153&hl=en&start=17&itbs=1&tbnid=4qiv4vMxGZym5M:&tbnh=138&tbnw=105&prev=/images%3Fq%3DSkateboarding%2BArt%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1

Pop Art was an art movement in the 1950s and 60s that used a lot of popular images in art. Celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley were some that were used back then. We saw some originals when we visited the Modern Museum of Art in Ft Worth. The Computer Art Class created some Pop Art of their own in the computer lab. It’s a project Mr Payne found at http://www.artyfactory.com  Check it out. What celebrity would you chose??

Have you ever looked at the art and design in can labels and packaging? There is more art there than you think. Graphic artists use art elements and creative design to get your attention and hopefully get your money when you buy the product. Look at labels on cans and product packaging. Look at the art and design in them. What label do you think really looks cool and why?? How have the designers used design principles and creativity??

The Computer Art Class just finished creating labels for their imaginary products. Some were pretty funny!! Here are a few of them. Let us hear what you think of them.

Computer Art class has made some really cool computer paintings this year. We’ll post some of our “Spring Break” pictures later. The are about to create an animation which will also be fun. Right now they are back in the art room for a break from the computer. They are now making clay whistles. They really do work, then they sculpt them into a little head or creature. Check them out and let us know what you think.

Below are examples of 1 and 2 point perspective drawings made by the 7th and 8th Grade Computer Art Class. Perspective drawings are drawings that appear as if they are 3-D. The whole drawing revolves around one or two vanishing points on the horizon. All the lines that are going into the distance goes to or from the point(s).This makes the objects appear like they are seen from one perspective.

This is a link for basic instructions on how to create a drawing in 1 or 2 point perspective.

If you would like to try one out, show Molly and Landry (or anyone in the Computer Art Class) and we will check it for you!
