Blogging in the art room!

This blog will be used as a supplemental resource to our art studio. I have found in the past that high school age students initially find great difficulty during art critique. Our first few crituques will done on this blog. I will post a piece of art from a master artist,examples are Davinci, Piccaso, and Monet. You will then be required to respond and analyse the art using this blog. I expect you to really look at the paintings and respond with more than, "I really like it!" or "It's successul because it's pretty." I want you to discuss composition, color, value, and emotion. Think about why this painting has made it through time. Why are we discussing it today? Did this artist discover something new in this painting? Did the artist develop a style different than artist before him? What about this particular painting makes it worthy of being printed and published in art history books? Use this blog as a place to open up and explore your thoughts on the subject.

In the future we will utilize this blog for many group discussions. Please feel to be honest and open, but remember to handle your self in a proffessional and mature way when you do so! Art often pushes the envelope on many hot topics and requires openess and respect to be successful.
