What WAS Art? What IS Art? WHY is Art? What WILL Art Become....? HOW will YOUR art compare?
Art and art history are inextricably linked... This series will take you through selected periods of art history and will allow you to consider how and why art has changed over the years. This investigation may help you to answer the questions above, although you'll likely change and refine your answers throughout the year. As you consider the life, times, and innovations of each artist, think also about how this knowledge can affect the art that YOU will make.
PLEASE NOTE:
PLEASE NOTE:
- The thumbnail sketches associated with these sketchbook entries will serve as opportunities to draw every day but they are separate from your "Daily Drawings."
- A thumbnail sketch is small and quickly done BUT it should still be completed with effort and observation. Pay attention to contours, shapes, proportion, composition, etc. This type of observation helps you to better understand the work of art and how the artist may have approached their work.
- Pay special attention to the ways that art has changed over the years - but perhaps you'll also notice similarities... what drives ALL artists?
