Part 1
Find a contemporary artist (still alive) whose work inspires you. Create a Pinterest board of at least 15 works by that artist. Blog Post: Post 3 works by this artist and answer the following questions in a blog post: What is the artist’s name? Where do they work? What medium do they mainly use? What are some similarities in the works you have chosen in regards to style? Does the work follow a theme/idea? If so, what theme/idea is the artist exploring? Place a link to your pinterest board on this blog post. Part 2 For this challenge you will take one object/image/theme/”big idea” and explore this in 8 different ways over 8 consecutive days. You will post your series on your blog once it is complete. Examples: Object: A chair Image: Found Imagery ex: A butterfly found in national geographic Theme/Big Idea: Displacement These works should take you no more than 30 minutes (time may vary from piece to piece) and should be done on the 8 small cards you have been given. You may use any medium/materials you wish. Link to Pinterest Examples For you Blog post please reflect on your 2nd and 3rd concentration piece whether it is complete or not.

On your blog, please post 2 ideas that you are considering for your concentration. This should be in the form of 2 small paragraphs (4-5 sentences) outlining what the major theme/idea of your concentration is, what materials/mediums you will use, and how you hope to explore this idea in 12 different images. You are not required to include any sketches, but please do if it helps to outline your idea. This should be done for Thursday November 3rd, as we will have a discussion in class on that day. *Remember if you are still having a difficult time deciding, there are countless resources on the AP college board site, and on our AP concentration Pinterest board. On your blog reflect on your University challenge piece whether it is complete or not. Post a photo of your art piece with your reflection. Consider the following questions in your reflection:
- What was the challenge project that you chose to do? - Is the project complete? If not, why not? - What do you think is successful in your project? -What do you think could be improved, what did you struggle with? |
