Have fun!

Breadth Section

I would like to spend the first day back from the break uploading your breadth sections onto the Internet. Yes, you are going to make a web page with your work. It's easy don't worry. If you have not brought in all your art work to be photographed now is the time. Just bring it in and I will find the time to take photo's of the work.

Bring everything you can find. You never know how something is going to photograph. Remember, the AP committee will only be seeing this work tiny, like 4 x 5 inches or smaller. Don't sweat the little stuff.

See you on Tuesday.

Scholastic Art Awards

I know that I have mentioned this before but it is time to start to register your work for the Portland Metro Scholastic Art Awards.

The above link will take you there. It doesn't have to be work that you created at school. Seniors can enter a portfolio and have an opportunity to win scholarships. It's a great opportunity!

Don't miss out. Bring your work in that you would like to enter into the show.

Deadline January 7th, 2009

There will be volunteer opportunties for those who would like to earn hours for NAHS

You Did it

Well, the first critique is over with and you all did a fantastic job. The work was cohesive, interesting and well thought out. Have I mentioned before how proud I am of all of you?

If you have any spare time this holiday break you might want to get started working on your next two pieces. No rest for the weary. We will talk about this more when we get back on Tuesday.

Gobble, Gobble!

Crunch Time

It's crunch time. We have Tuesday and Thursday in class and then Monday. Yikes!!!! Are you going to be ready? I have been very impressed with all the hard work so far. Just stay focused, you can do it.

Don't forget to bring in your artwork for me to photograph for your breadth section.

We need to start registering for Scholastic!

Hey kids it's time to start registering for the Scholastic Art Awards. If you have time on your own that would be great but I will make time in class for those who don't. The Scholastic Art Awards is a great opportunity for all of you to show the world what amazing artists you are. Seniors can create a portfolio and win scholarships!

The website for registration is listed above. It's fun, it's easy and it's a great opportunity! Don't miss out.

See you tomorrow. If you click on the title of this post it will take you to the Scholastic page for registration.

First Critique - Seriously :)

Our first critique will be on November 26.  You will need to bring in three COMPLETED pieces of art for your concentration.  Today is the 5th, that's 21 days from now!  If you haven't started you have seven days per piece.  Just budget your time and work hard.  

Don't forget to bring in all your art work for your breadth section.  I'm putting all the pictures on the shared folders.  That way you can use the pictures on your blog and upload them to the AP website (more later.)

Hang in there.  You really are doing a great job.

Next Life Drawing Session - Already!

We are going to have our second life drawing session on NOVEMBER 13. There are two sessions per semester. The next one will be in February. The November session will have BELLY DANCERS from the Gypsy Caravan http://www.gypsycaravan.us/ It was very fun last year!

Lake Oswego Library Show

When you get a chance you should head down to the LO library. There is a smattering of art work from Art 1, Art 2, Art 3 and AP students. Thanks to Ali King and Christina Ramberg for helping to hang the show!
