Principles of Design

I am appreciating reading your creative responses in your portfolios. However, some students would still benefit from extra practice. If you would like extra practice on the principles of design, you may use Hokusai's Great Wave Off Kanagawa or prepare one of your own to lead the class through the principles. Be sure to make copies for everyone.

Second Workshop

The second art workshop, worth 5%, is scheduled for Saturday, November 10th, 10am-12 in the ADMC auditorium. This one is about photography. You don't need a camera, but bring your mobile phones. Unfortunately, this date overlaps with the Art Fair at Saadiyat, so plan ahead to be able to do both!

CANCELED!!

AD Art Fair

Portfolios

I look forward to reading your portfolios when we return from the holiday. 

You do not need to wait for me to return it for you to pick your six images and begin your reflections. I suggest you pick images that will help you demonstrate your knowledge of the principles of design. I hope you will include your favorite artwork and explain why it is your favorite. My favorite is Van Gogh's Thatched Cottages at Cordeville.

Eid Mubarak!

Due Dates

Everyone's group presentation disc is due in a box at desk 11 by Thursday. Next week the same box will collect your portfolios. Reflective analysis practice in class again this week.
