Extra Credit #1- Due Monday 9/28

In class we explored the elements of art. The elements are the basic vocabulary for creating and analyzing works of art. For extra credit, create an "Elements Book" no larger than 5 inches by 5 inches. You may fold a sheet of paper to create your pages or you may staple pages together. The front cover of the book must say "Elements of Art", and your name needs to be on the back cover. Label each page with one of the seven elements of art. Then use magazine photographs or internet print outs, and give one example for each element. Tape or glue the example under the label. This extra credit builds off of the elements exercise we did in class, and reinforces your understanding of the elements of art. This is an art project, be unique and have fun. The most creative books will receive the maximum number of points. Due Date:9/28 Points:50

Quarter One Sketchbook Assignments

 You will be getting this hand out on Friday 9/11. If you lose it, this post will be your resource.

As discussed on the first day, sketchbook assignments are a requirement for the Studio Art course. A sketchbook is a tool for improvement and documents your growth as an artist. You may choose to provide your own sketchbook, or you may add blank paper to the inside of your Studio Art folder. Assignments are to be done for homework.  Any student working on their sketchbook assignment in class, without permission, will receive half credit for that assignment. Sketchbooks that are not handed in by their due date listed below will lose 2 points for each class day it is late.

 

Each quarter the sketchbook assignments will focus on a specific media.

Quarter One will focus on pencil drawing.

The guidelines are listed below:

 

·      Each assignment should be worked on for at least 30 minutes

Miss Keiser's Artwork

This is a collection of my artwork that ranges from 2000 to the present. I have worked in a variety of media including both traditional and experimental photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, bookmaking, sculpture and jewelry. 

 

Welcome

Welcome to Miss Keiser's Art Blog!! I am so excited to be part of the Sutherland family and look forward to a creative year. Just like most of you, it is my first year at Sutherland High School. I have a Bachelors in Fine Arts with a photography concentration from The University at Buffalo and in May I received my Masters in Art Education from Nazareth College. I love art and photography and you can often find me at the Memorial Art Gallery or the George Eastman House. I have also had the opportunity to travel, where I love to experience history, architecture and of course art, from other cultures. It is my hope that this blog is used to open the lines of communication between myself, students and parents. Please check back often for new blogs, assignments/hand-outs, extra credit opportunities, and most importantly student artwork!
