Week of Sept. 19th

     Hello All! We've a bit busy with things the past several weeks. However, hopefully, we will continue to post a bit more frequent. We are starting to get in the swing of things, school wise, as of late. We are starting to see some pretty good work in all areas. New Media has been fun. However we are still hammering a bit of the kinks out.
     Retired Coach Jones has invited us and Dr. Decker's middle art classes to decorate/design a Haunted House for the Downtown Russell Civics League. Still waiting on details.
     A lot of our lessons for the coming weeks will be emotion based. As always, if there is particular method or specific thought and ideas that you have PLEASE come to me. It is best to work with you individually on method/technique ideas. However, we absolutely can address these to the whole class as well.
     This week Russell High School Students can:

1- Art I: 'Twisted'. What is something that you like that everyone else may feel is a bit 'weird'? This is media of your choice.
BREAKFAST- Open Studio
2- PLANNING
3- AP Art History: ---continuation of the study of Greek/Roman Art. Toga party??
4- 2D/3D: 'Twisted'. What is something that you like that everyone else may feel is a bit 'weird'? Media of your choice
LUNCH- Open Studio
5- Advanced Art: 'Twisted'. Same assignment as above. However, advanced students may use photography/new media processes to fulfill assignment
6- AP Art Studio: continuation of concentration work.
7- New Media: Silent Film. Students are working on their silent films.

Short week of Sept. 6th

Labor Day was a good long weekend. Hopefully everyone rested well. However, I doubt it. For some reason some many people feel they have to see how much stuff they can cram into one weekend. That is quite unfortunate. But, the way capitalism is we feel left out if we aren't doing or buying something. Which is entirely foolish. Nonetheless, we are starting our unit of emotions this coming week. This weeks theme is 'What makes you Happy?'. We had quite a few good projects out of this last year. We will see where it goes this year. As a whole, we work a bit better this year than last. However, we seem to have a bit more retinal artists in the art room this year as opposed to last. Which, I've had to adapt to. Nonetheless, here is out basic plan for the week.

1st- Art I: What makes we Happy? Project. Students may us media of choice with teachers consent.
2nd- PLANNING
3rd- AP Art History: We begin our study of the Greeks. Gods and Goddess first.
4th- 2D/3D: What makes me Happy? Project. Students may us media of choice with teachers consent. The option of photography has been added. See teacher for details.
5th- Advanced Art: What makes me Happy? Project. See above.
6th- AP Art Studio: Continuation of independent work
7th- New Media: continue to work on Live Action Stop-Motion.
