MONDAY/TUESDAY: 
  • Warm up drawing or activity - follow directions on the board
  • Collect field trip $/permission
  • FINISH Drawing Bootcamp​ (remember, there is no more in-class time after today but you have until Friday to do your best work)
    • Final hand drawing, comparison with pre-test drawing, written reflection re: noted growth 
      • Finish, refine, and/or re-do exercises 
      • Please read all directions carefully and consider the purpose of each exercise - does your work illustrate understanding of this purpose?

  • Discuss homework - CRITIQUE handout
  • Collect field trip $/permission
  • Media exploration - paper marbling

FRIDAY: 
  • YAM flag opportunity
  • Make portfolios
  • Hand back sketchbooks

HOMEWORK is designed to: 1) allow for exploration, practice, and application of class content, 2) encourage independent work, time management, and efficiency of work flow, 3) fit within the weekly homework time allotted for this class. Keep these things in mind as you work. Use of a timer is one way to stay on task and to monitor your work time. Please note that your individual needs and work process may result in spending more or less than the suggested average time. Please ask for help/use extended lunch as needed; extension requests require a 3-day lead.
  • ​Re: Quiz #1 - Access your quiz to review written answers and read any related comments - if recommendations were offered, please consider these for future quizzes and other written assignments
  • DUE FRIDAY = Drawing Bootcamp
  • DUE Nov. 8/9 = Using the feedback you were given, plus your own improved knowledge and abilities, write a BETTER Description paragraph than you did before (of the same work of art). Think carefully about what you write and how you write it: Is it as descriptive as it could be??? Will it result in a more accurate drawing by the one who reads and interprets it??? Typed, double spaced, name/date/class code. 
  • DUE ASAP but no later than Nov. 6 = Payment and permission form for the D.C. field trip; seats are limited and reserved on a first come/first served basis with collected payment and permission
  • DUE EVERY MONDAY/TUESDAY = Check the website at the start of each week; update your agenda accordingly and complete any required preparatory work
  • DUE PERIODICALLY = Check Powerschool; it is your responsibility to follow up with make up/late work, questions, or discrepancies in a timely manner

HAPPENINGS:​​ ​
  • THURSDAY = Parent/Teacher Conferences, 4 - 7 pm
  • FRIDAY = 
    • End Q1
    • Fall Art Walk (bonus, InLight will be happening on Broad St.)
  • Nov. 7 = Student holiday + Parent/Teacher Conferences, 9 am - noon
  • Nov. 14 = NAHS @ 11:45 - 12:15
  • Nov. 16 = Lunchtime Lecture
  • Nov. 28 = Art Club @ 11:45 - 12:15
  • Dec. 1 = D.C. Field Trip (7:45 am - 6:30 pm)
  • CHECK THE SCHOOL CALENDAR FOR A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF EVENTS AND DETAILS​​
WHEW, you made it to the end of this agenda AND the end of Q1. Well done!

​The first quarter of art is more about learning how to be a successful art student than anything else: preparedness, organization, deliberate practice, curiosity, open-mindedness, making connections, thinking deeply, putting forth your best effort, being confident, answering open-ended questions, solving visual problems, etc., etc. etc. The website is meant to help with those efforts and more - and so using it as a tool for success is part of your responsibility as a student. Moving forward, there will be fewer weekly agenda challenges - and eventually none. There will simply be an expectation that you are fully prepared at the start of each week.

SO....
  • If you have taken at least 2 agenda challenges, this can be #3 and it will earn you Extra Credit for Q1 - THANK YOU!
  • If you have never taken an agenda challenge, I challenge you to do so... just because - PLEASE!

Here it is: Post A FACT, OBSERVATION, or QUESTION related to Artist Spotlight #6
  • No, it hasn't been assigned yet. 
  • No, you don't have to read/view the resources - but you can
  • Look at the image, read the heading, credit line, and any other written information (including previous student comments) and think...
    • What facts are obvious, in writing, etc.?
    • What observations can you make re: connections you notice between this work of art and others we have studied?
    • What questions do you have?
  • In  order to earn credit for your work:
    • Don't repeat any comments that have already been posted! 
    • Post your comment BEFORE the first class of the week!

The Kritios Boy is located in the Acropolis Museum, which is in Greece.

This sculpture is called The Kritios boy because it is believed that it was created by a person called Krito in 480 BCE.

Why doesn't the sculpture have eyes?

The Kritios Boy was sculpted in 480 BCE. It has clear similarities to the Kouros we studied last week, however, he is missing parts of all his limbs. Why?

The Kritios Boy is only about 3 ft and 10 inches tall, which makes him much smaller than life size. Why is he so much smaller than other Egyptian and Greek sculptures?

The kritios boy was sculpted from marble, similar to the kouros and cycladic sculptures.

Is the sculpture of a specific boy?

Why are some limbs on the sculpture missing or removed?

Why is the statue depicted nude? Is it for the same reason as the Kouros statues are?

Some of the previous sculptures we studied, the Kouros and Menkaura and Queen, are representations of ideal figures. However, the Kritios Boy is less muscular and seems to have more imperfections. Have the ideals changed or is this sculpture not even depicting an ideal figure?

I wonder if this statue started a movement towards more abstract and imaginative renditions of people (smaller, less idealistic, and less muscular and godly), and what influenced the drastic change from the previous art pieces to this one?

Many people seem to be talking about him not being the ideal for a male, in that he is only 3'10" and not very muscular. I think the height and the fact that he isn't very muscular might have to do with the fact that he is called "the Kritios BOY". He can still be life size and the ideal form - but for a child. I mean have you ever seen a burly 6'2" five year-old? I haven't.

How have the ideals changed in Greece for the Kritos boy sculpture to be different from the Kouros sculpture. Also, what period of Greek sculpture is this from?

Why is he missing a limb? Also, how is he different from the Kouros and what does it show about the changing Greek culture?

Were his arms and legs originally there, or did the artist purposefully leave them out?

This sculpture is called the Kritios boy. He is in a similar stance and position as the the Kouros boy. I wonder why he is smaller than the other Greek life-size statues that we have studied?
