MONDAY:​​ 
  • Artist Spotlight #13; review #12
  • Continue PLANNING:
    • Keep brainstorming - what are you trying to communicate? Can you distill your content into one word (identity, place, memory, etc.?).
    • Which artist(s) can offer inspiration for your work - construction, use of medium, overall aesthetic, connection to content, etc.
    • Practice with various processes (build maquettes as you are able) in order to make the best decisions.
    • Consider color, texture, surface.
  • Practice specific media 
  • Make final decisions 

WEDNESDAY:​ change in plan/you will have a sub.
  • Work on the sketchbook assignment (DUE FRIDAY). I apologize that you didn't get your sketchbook check back in time… BUT you should have reviewed it already and so know what needs to be done before Friday!
  • Related to the above - PLANNING for sculpture (!!!!); use the books/magazines/other research (including the links that I emailed to some of them) to generate/formalize ideas. HAVE FINAL SKETCHES. Multiple sketches are needed to show how you envision the sculpture in-the-round. Build a maquette to help visualize the form of the sculpture (so you can draw it in-the-round!). Make sure also to list any materials that you think you might use. *** Yes, things might change but you have to start somewhere!
  • Continue using papier maché paste/plaster gauze to finish the practice sculpture started on Monday

FRIDAY: modified schedule/assembly
