Lesson #1, Introduction to AP Art III
|
Lesson #1 |
Intro | Aug 20 | Course Introduction, supplies, responsibilities, duties and requirements. THE IN-CLASS ASSIGNMENT: Required for all students. THE OUT-OF-CLASS ASSIGNMENT: All odd numbered Out of Class assignments are required for all students. (The even numbered Out of Class assignments are reserved only for the best students. For the average and poor students these assignments are optional. A thorough explanation will be given today.) DRAWING and DESIGN: The foundation of this course. THE CONCENTRATION: Developing a long term in-depth project that concentrates on a single idea; a body of work evolved over time that shares all three of the components below. Discussion of the three basic components of a work of art. 1. Subject: (The "what") A person, a place, a thing or an Idea. The obvious visual component of the image. 2. Composition or Form: (The "how" or "structure") Arrangement of shapes and the other basic building blocks of the visual arts into a visually effective organization to express an idea. In the Fine Art the term composition is usually used while in the Applied Arts the term design is used. In the Applied Arts DESIGN also implies a well thought out and accurate idea or plan, committed to paper, that can be read and produced by a trained technician. (As in a blueprint by an architect for a contractor) 3. Content: (The "why") The emotional or intellectual message of an artwork. |
