These are the 30 pieces of art that are traveling around the country representing AP Art Studio students. They were chosen from 31,000 portfolios. Two of them are from Lakeridge! Fancy that.

Receive a Dum Dum from Ms. McB if you go to this site and then make a comment on this blog describing and responding to one of the 30 images. Just do it!

Busy Week

We've got a busy week ahead of us!

Tuesday we are going on a field trip to the zoo. You will need to bring a camera with you to take pictures to use in your concentration. I'll have a handout with information for you when we go.

Wednesday is a life drawing session. 5 -7 pm, you know the drill. $5.00 to pay for the models, food and materials.

Wednesday the Oregon College of Art and Craft will be coming to the school to look at our artwork for the up coming high school show at OCAC. If you have something that you would like to include let me know.

We will be registering with the AP website in order to upload our images on line. I've never done this before, should be fun and an adventure to figure out.

Fun times. Ms. McB

First Thursday

This coming Thursday is First Thursday. If you've never gone to First Thursday it a great way to see a TON of art. Ms. Wiser our sub has a show, I'll find out the specs and post them for you. Gather your friends and make your way down, it's fun! Free food and great art.

Field Trips

We will be going to the ZOO on Feb 10th, leaving the school at 11:20 and returning at 2:40. The goal will be to gather digital images to use for your concentrations.

The second field trip will be to the Clackamas Community College Region skills day, Feb 26th from 7:30 - 12:00. It's a great time and we get to make art~!

Life Drawing Soon

The next life drawing session is coming soon. Feb 11th, 2009 from 5-7pm There will be two ballerinas with costumes joining us. $5.00 light snacks and materials provided.

Has it really been two weeks?

I can't believe it's been two weeks since I made a blog post. It's time to get back to our schedule of blog comments, blog updates and sketchbook entries. We have two pieces due at the end of the month and a life drawing session coming up.

Scholastic was a huge success! Couldn't be prouder of how you all did. Thank you for your willingness to volunteer and help make the event a success.

I'll see you all on Tuesday! Ms. McB

Yes Virginia you do need to have two pieces of art completed.

Just because it snowed the last week of school doesn't mean you don't have to do art. Each of you will have two pieces of art due on Tuesday, January 6th. You have had LOTS of time to work on your art, don't be a slacker :)

We are going to need to hit the ground running after we get back.

1. Finalize all Scholastic portfolios and individual entries.
2. Photograph all Breadth section images (I will stop photographing images on the 16th, get your work in well before that date.)
3. Create Breadth section website (don't worry Ms. McB will help with this)
4. You will have two addition pieces due at the end of January (it just never stops!)

Whew! At the end of January we will be half way through! The year goes by so fast.
