Mr. M delivers a technique

"POP ART"

the only name i recognize

andy warhol

(typewriter/blogger)

Mr. M introduces the next technique

"DADA"

a type of art that mocks art, politics, 

exaggerated collage

(magazine, collage)

doodles from my 2011-2012 planner
evidence that individuals are learning
while drawing
i doodled key concepts
 from
sacrament meetings
(originals in black and white..as much as
i love color, i wish i had left
the doodle in it's original form) 

Mr. M allows free choice friday

which is a student's opportunity

to explore and create

below i was trying

to

use chalk pastels

to depict

the light of learning

there is a point in art in which to stop

i went beyond that point

disliked the art

photo collage to cover up my blunder

i guess this would fall under the category of crafts

(photography, 

 Mr. M instructed on another

genre

"EXPRESSIONISM"

art that emphasized emotions

of sadness, depression, lonliness,

this is me

the tear is all my past regrets that still haunt

me if allowed
"Leave the Past Behind"

 the sketch would then become a linoleum print

being "Christ"mas

i decided to do one of the Savior

and 

"His Name Shall Be Called"

 following the sketch

i had to reverse the letters so that they would read properly

the linoleum print was too detailed

and it did not turn out as i had hoped

i will try again with a simplified version

(pencil, linoleum, ink, roller,  steel cutter)

Rick opened up a new business

i set to work using my photos

to design a business card samples

(photography and computer)

Mr. H. suggested to the students 

to write stories from their own 

experiences in life 

BRAINSTORM IDEAS

1) map of the neighborhood

with symbols of events that took place

 second circle

symbolizes the traditional neighborhood

"stadium of fire"

or the canal on the lower left

symbolizes the many walks, fishing, rock throwing

events

2)  story board

six frames

six pictures

that tell the story in order

naturally

i sketch

"The Problematic Skirt"

because the skirt is long, i must be careful not to

step on the front of it when climbing stairs 

the class is happy as they have worked hard.

mrs. g excuses herself on a break to 

use the ladies room.

by accident, her problematic skirt is tucked up under

her sweater revealing an unpleasant sight

when one student notices, static electricity comes to mind

"nice bounce sheet !"

the upclose drawing of her rediculous outfit

(in efforts to keep warm on recess duty day)

long white underwear

held in place by black knee socks

with short black boots

with an extra cream colored sweater

tied around the waist

voila
