Art IV Painting and Drawing Overview.
This year you will be creating a series of artworks with a common theme(s). Imagine that you are creating artwork for your own gallery show because you are! The last six weeks of your Art IV experience will be devoted to your own Art Show consisting of your Art IV thesis works and portfolio from previous years. It will be a retrospective of your high school Art experience!
First, the fall semester will consist of 4 Major pieces that are unified by an underlying idea that has visual and/or conceptual coherence. I want the pieces to come from your individual interests and issues that you want to investigate and develop. The spring semester will consist of 4 works furthering the development of your strengths.
You will also have 4 minor pieces (one per major piece). These will be studies in the media of the major piece. They do not have to follow the theme. They must be a completed work of art!
Grading- There will be 7 grades for each grading period. They are:
