http://bv-painting.wikispaces.com/01-+Lists+of+Famous+Painters

Above is a link to the list of influential painters to choose from for our Painting Analysis Paper, which is due Friday, November 2.

http://bv-painting.wikispaces.com/01-+Formal+Writing+Assignment

This is a link to the directions and template for you to use to help you complete your analysis of one painters.

Remember, if you are in Mrs. Koenig's room for anything and would like to, you may work on this paper in her room this week.

Additionally, you will create a painting that is either a copy or mimics the style of the painter which you are studying. This will be due by (or before) Friday, November 9.

Some of you have mentioned that you would prefer to work on this at home. If you are working at home, please bring something to work on from another class during Painting class 6th hour. Thank You.

Be aware, that if a majority of class members elect to do that, we will probably take notes and introduce a new era in art history and then new painting during class time. 

Hey 7th & 8th Grade Volleyball Girls!

I've got on my calendar that we're taking the MSVB Team picture 8th hour this Thursday, Oct. 18

Do you know any parents or kids who may have gotten some pictures at games?

If you know of anyone, they can email me some of their best pictures, direct me to where to find them on facebook- or... they can upload them directly to the yearbook if they join www.ReplayIt.com, it fun easy and free.

Help us make this YOUR yearbook.

Thanks!

What are we DOING this week?

If you are ever sick or absent for another reason, or if you're just trying to be more organized. You can now see what the plans are for Mr. Mallory's classes by visiting his "Planbook."

There you can see this week's plans, as well as look back over the past quarter. Please remember though, that these are tentative and subject to change depending on how much we get through, how the school calendar changes and whether Mr. Mallory is absent too. But most of the time it should be pretty accurate.

Thank you (Sub) for taking my classes.

1&2hr CIVICS-

• A number of students need to make-up tests, these are on the teacher's desk in the MS Civics room (with a post-it note on them).
• Have students read, think about (possibly discuss) and then fill-out the "Declaration Decoded" worksheet )on the teacher's desk in MS Civics room. Make sure that they ALSO, complete the paraphrase on the back of the worksheet. They should work on this during class, but I will collect it in class tomorrow (Friday Oct 12)

3rd Hr DRAWING-

Students should continue working on their chair drawings. When in doubt, they should look over the directions again on pp 127-132 in their textbook. We will decide at the beginning of the hour Friday whether or not we will critique them that day, or give them one last day to work on them and critique them Tuesday.

4th Hr- Planning Period

5th Hr 7th Grade Art-

Students should finish working on their Synthetic Cubism Still-Life. Their drawings and directions should be on the island. One of them should carefully move the still-life cart back to it's original position. A few of them may finish glazing their ceramic projects, but need to clean up afterward. If/when they are finished, they may free-draw, or they should use their time quietly be reading, writing or doing work for other classes. Please remind them that they have the Course Post-Test tomorrow, so they may want to study the notes they took earlier this week.

6th Hr Painting-

Create a Baroque or Romantic-style painting of a person, place, or scene with tempera on paper.
You may choose to...

1. Create a painting emphasizing the tenebrea style, beginning dark, and using limited, theatrical lighting, like Caravagio or Gentileschi.
2. Create a painting emphasizing exaggerated mannerism (instead of realistic proportions) to stress tension, action or for expressive or emotional effect, like El Greco or Peter Paul Rubens
3. Create an allegory, using fictional characters or symbols to express a universal truth, like Rubens
4. Create a painting depicting a scene from Greek mythology or history, like many Baroque painters.
5. Create a painting depicting strong or important women in a serious or heroic way, like Gentileschi.

7th Hr 8th Grade Art-

Students should finish working on their non-objective compositions which illustrate the elements of design. These should be on the island. This will be the last day to work on them. Those who are finished need to work on something quietly, free-draw, read, write or do work for another class. Please remind them to bring their books to class on Tuesday.

8th Hr Yearbook-

• Students should work on designing a one page layout on the blue "Dummy Sheets" on the island. Examples from last year are also on the island. Once designed, they should cut out pictures, headlines or body-copy to paste down as a "mock" layout.
• When they are finished with the test, they may work on their real layouts or the cover in the lab. Robert & PJ may work on the cover in Photoshop.

Elements & Principles of Design

8th Grade Art students are learning about these in Chapter 1 of their textbook (pages 1-16). Use these graphics to study for your quiz. 7th Grade Art, Painting, Ceramics & Photography students would do well to learn these and use them in their artworks. Even Yearbook students would benefit from knowing the Principles for the sake of designing page layouts. Theoretically, if Drawing & Seeing students are learning their 5 core perceptual skills, these will automatically/intuitively fall into place without learning about them.

About the Principles, remember "Form follows function," and good design should 1) Capture attention 2) Hold attention and 3) Direct Attention and your compositions will have impact and be effective.

Nothing

DRAWING CLASS; Especially when you're learning about how to perceive and depict negative-space!
