Christian (Student Teacher)
Steven: Having concentration is nice.
Devan: Can be restrictive.
Edith: Breath pieces first, concentration the second semester.
Edith: A lot of kids come into it not working over the summer.
Devan: You have time to develop your style 1st semester.
MONICA: ANIMATION. DIGITAL ART. 3DS MAX. Ballerina in music box dancing. Outside of school a couple of months.
Where did the idea come from: The Song. Animating something to the song. Song made her think about the music box and have the dancer come alive. Initially a little girls bedroom, but kept more focused on the dancer. Watched alot of youtube.
Difference between direct and digital?
Personally like doing digital because of the undo button. More room for error and flexibility. Physical artwork is a little more stressful. Blending better.
HENRY: Concentration: Legends an Myths. Draw own interpretation. Draw physically, and then digitally manipulate. Humanity in next step.
Breaking point. Finish subject, then transfer over digitally. SCIFI. STANLEY KUBRIC SPACE ODYSSEY. Paper is a window to the world. Every color of rainbow and you don't have to buy it. UNDO BUTTON.
CATY: PRINTMAKING EYEBALL. Never tried digital. Makes Jewelry. What does art do for you? Want to do something important. Want to be a fashion designer. Make own dresses for barbie. Also takes wearable art.
JACK: Explore in many ways as possible. Reality versus mindset. Observation for college admissions. Passover meal/ Jewish. Work on digital art, but not as seriously. Experience-wise. Work from observation better than photograph. Etching is fun, because it's most new. Where do you see your work going? Design oriented. Art director, possibility.
DEVAN:Everyone in family is musician. Keyboard mohawk. Really like the band tool. ALEX GREY. A little gothic, princess of the night. Into 70s progressive rock music. Like political analogy. Human body deconstructed. SYMBOLISM.
EYES: REALLY LIKE DRAWING EYES. I JUST LIKE DRAWING. Music and art pair really well. Take stories and translate. Want to write own books and illustrate them. Always a vocal kid. Always about self expression. Write it all down. (mom). Opportunity to create own world. Escape from real life. You make plans and God laughs. Emotions out there in a healthy outlet.
EDITH: CONCENTRATION TWO HALFS: POLITICAL/ SOCIETY CULTURE AND THEN HUMOR. Television, product. Gasmasks on royal family, rich can not feel effects of pollution. Processwise really restrictive. Do you draw all the time? I draw alot, but usually only work with paints. More realistic. Not a picture perfect realist.
In working concentration how did you make your choice? Did Dr. A intervene.
Devan: I think she's great. She's really into letting you explore what you want. She's a sound board. She me well enough.
Jack: She did a great job. I thought I could borrow a tablet, and she thought I stole one. Asked a little bit about me--looking at my list. Sometimes she'd pull the plug on an idea, can you think of 12 different ideas that work on this theme.
Henry: Came in a little late. Looked at what had done and divided up into categories. Decided to go with subjects--5 ideas 3,2,1. She helped ME come up with the idea.
Devan: Web for visually mapping. Julie Nixons students.
How do you work together? Do you help each other?
MAKE PANCAKES TOGETHER. DR. A MAKES PANCAKES. ART ROOM IS A SAFE SPACE.
You are not the law, you are there to facilitate.
It's good that you can disagree but it's still okay.
If you only have your perspective, the scope would be narrow.
We are a result of this department.
Having freedom is important. She makes you talk about each others work, and talk with each other. 100% REFLECTIVE TALK, CERTAIN PATTERNS.
ORAL REFLECTION IS INSTANT: THERE'S SO MUCH TO BE GAINED.
WHAT MAKES A GOOD TEACHER.
MONICA: WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO THEM, THEY ASK YOU QUESTIONS IN RETURN. STUDENT DRIVEN ANSWERING.
HENRY: LET THEM BE ARTISTS. ALLOW THEM TO BE CREATIVE.
CATY: LET THE CLASS CRITIQUE THE WORK.
STEVEN: CREATE MANTRAS THAT CAN DEVELOP NATURALLY. ENVIRONMENT: MAKE YOUR ROOM A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT. CAN SPARK CREATIVITY FROM STUDENTS.
DEVAN: REALLY BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH STUDENTS. THEY CAN REALLY BE OPEN TO THEMSELVES. THEY'RE NOT AFRAID TO BE SHOT DOWN. CARING AND UPLIFTING ENVIRONMENT. BE A FRIEND.
EDITH: 6-7 CLASSES ART SHOULDN'T BE THE CLASS YOU'RE STRESSING OUT ABOUT. NOT GOING TO GAIN RESPECT IF YOU RESTRAINING THEM. NO STIFLING.
