This week there will be some need to begin some serious work on the spring art show. I will be placing phone calls to various individuals pertaining to this.
Many of us got into the second annual Southern Ohio University High School Art Show. If you didn't get in please, no worries. Being rejected, from time to time, is part of being an artist. Talk to Claude Monet if you want a pick me up. :) Nonetheless, here are the students that made it:

Weeks of Jan 25th through 30th
Hello ALL! So I've missed a few days this week. My daughter tested positive for the flu so we had to stay home. I can honestly say I love my job and can't wait to get back at it. It's unfortunate that a lot cannot be done in the art room when I am gone. I do not take any sort of pride in this, but an art room and it's teacher seem to be an organic 'thing'. One without the other is sort of, well, sad. Nonetheless, I will be back on the 26th. Hopefully, I will return to some awesome paper mache projects.
The week of the 30th we will begin sort of transition period for Ms. Claxon. She will slowly be given more responsibilities and teaching duties. Oddly enough she has been doing just that this week due to me being out. We will be continuing with sculpture this coming week. The following weeks we will be doing some clay sculpture with Ms. Claxon. She is quite talented in this area and I am excited to see what you guys can do with what she teaches you.
The coming week we will be doing a different type of sculpture: Paper. Now, granted we have already done something very similar in paper mache......well? sort of. This weeks lesson is a bit complicated and I am sure it will frustrate some of you. However, work and attention to content and concept we will all be successful.
Title- Creative Paper Sculpture
Objectives- students will create a three dimensional sculpture using only a single sheet of drawing paper and 'adhesives' of their choice.
Elemental and Principle Focus- Form, Shape & Contrast
Activity- Using scissors, knifes.....whatever, what 3D object can you create out of a single piece of drawing paper? You may only use the paper itself to create your sculpture. You don't have to us all of it, but you cannot add more paper to it. Color is an option. Be creative.
RHS students can ----->
1- Art I: Creative Paper Sculpture
BREAKFAST
2- PLANNING
3- AP Art History: Romanticism into Realism
4- 2D/3D: Creative Paper Sculpture
LUNCH
5- Advanced Art: Creative Paper Sculpture
6- AP Art Studio: Continue with work for submittal. The digital upload window has opened.
7- New Media: continued work in the 'mock reality show short film'....

Week of Jan. 9th through 13th
This week we are diving into the realm of three dimensions. I have already mentioned to most classes our assignment for this week. Here it is, again, in detail----->
Found Object Sculpture
Objective- Students will create a free standing found object sculpture that 'looks' as if it is in motion.
Resources- student's own found objects. glue. glue sticks. glue gun, tape and/or adhesives students need.
Procedures- Found object sculptures are relatively new in the old realm of art. For the most part, early on, these type of sculptures were seen as 'junk art' or work that was pushed to the fringes of 'outsider art' or 'folk art'. Nonetheless found object sculptures, for the most part, do not have to be fully representational or 'naturalistic'. In fact, the more quirky something is the more endearing it seems to be. See the below examples.
Of course, right click on the images to see and/or find the source for each artist. Most of these seem to be made out of metal. Ours does not have to be simplified to just that.
RHS Art Students can ----->
1. Art I- Found Objects sculpture

3. AP Art History- Rococo & 'The Age of Enlightenment'
4. 2D/3D- Found Objects sculpture

7. New Media- Group Project- Mock Political Endorsement Ads.

Week of Jan 3rd through 6th
Whelp! New Year. With it comes, well, a new year. Couple of years ago I used to study Ancient Chinese new year customs and the animals associated with the 12 year moon cycle. I had books upon books. I read all that I could get my hands on or could read. However, 2012 has an auspicious look. We are in the year of the Water Dragon. Water in most representations is a symbol for change. Not surprisingly many other cultures views this time frame as such. Most notably, the ancient Maya. Furthermore, one doesn't need to hold any sort of doomsday theory. Water is life. Water is quench of fire or renewal pure. Anyhow, to make a long story short the winds of change are coming, for the better. Hold on, 2012 is going to be a BIG year!
We are going to start the ground running this week. We are going to jump right back in to the conceptual. With the new year comes change. For the most part, many of us partake in new resolutions. This week all studio classes will be making a drawing. This drawing will be about you. In this new year what change for the good would you like to see. Think. Nothing drole. Nothing silly. Serious.
RHS Art students can ----->
1: Art I- Change I would like to see
BREAKFAST
2: PLANNING
3: AP Art History- Baroque Art
4: 2D/3D- Change I would like to see
5: Ad. Art- Change I would like to see
6: AP Art Studio- Change I would like to see
7: New Media- Short films: Change I would like to see
