Remixing

Students worked on remixing their past works into new works this week, using either new compositions, materials, or skills to demonstrate their art understandings. In addition to using materials from the past, students experimented with some new ideas and took time to get feedback on their works using a peer critique method. Because of a small disruption in the week of an ice day, not everyone's work was handed in as scheduled. I look forward to when the rest come in on Monday and getting this class wrapped up for the semester next week!

Trever O.: This piece was a remix of my old work that was my fish piece from 5th grade called Water Color Fish Painting. I kept the outline of the plants and environment similar and copied it four times. I changed the color scheme for each frame from the original. I used Andy Warhol’s idea of copying each frame and coloring it different with a color scheme for each. I changed it by rather having what seemed to be a blue background with a different color I used complimentary colors. I chose this piece because I was really interested in doing a block print piece.

Trever W.: I used the abstract of everyday objects. one similarity is the lies that divide the sections of color. I choose to remix this art piece because I thought it would be fun to use the colors in a way that I do not use a lot. One difference is the heart is in the middle of the new one and not the old one.

Kristina B.: I chose to remix a project that I did from earlier this year for a photoshop challenge. Comparing these two, this project I did the whole screen instead of just my face to add more of an effect to your eyes. The same thing that I did with both projects is I used photoshop and did an image of my face facing the other way each time. I chose to remix this project because I felt that I could improve it and make it more appealing when people look at it. What I did to change this piece was to do the whole screen instead of just my face.

On Thursday, we had an ice day. Instead of wasting away in front of the TV, I took the time to make these beauties for my new Schoology courses next semester. We are changing to the enterprise version of the website, so I am learning new things and needed more colored cans for each of my sections. Before I made these, I was feeling anxious about the change. I still feel anxious, but not nearly as much. Going to the Meijer Gardens later in the day to see some of the new Ai WeiWei exhibit also helped.

Next week is the LAST week of the semester before we start over again with a new group. I am really proud of what has been accomplished so far and I am excited to see what is ahead of us as we finish out this semester and begin a new one. 

Intro to Photo

I did get a chance to start with a new group of students this week in my KCAD DE course. Our "get-to-know" you activity was a fun one where students were challenged to make images that created the letters to spell their names. Here are two example of the results:

This week marks a fresh start in Art Teacher world. A new semester means class changes and new groups of students, most of whom have never had me as a teacher before. 

Last week, as we finished up the semester, I was so thankful to have volunteers stay after school to help me accomplish a massive labeling task! As a teacher who lets kids loose with materials, I have learned that there is no such thing as being too organized. The response from students have been nothing but smiles when they see the neatly organized areas shown:

This week marks a fresh start in Art Teacher world. A new semester means class changes and new groups of students, most of whom have never had me as a teacher before. 

So far this week, we have worked with clay on the first day, signed up on Schoology, and started getting our portfolios in order. 

I also started a new class with my Dual Enrollment students this Spring. I have been teaching for KCAD in the Dual Enrollment for about six years. This is the third time I have taught Color because we alternate offerings for our students each year. This is also the first time that all the students enrolled have had be as a teacher in the past - many as a part of my After School Art Class. 

It has been a delight to start again with these guys and see how they have grown in their talents. I am especially excited to see them develop their understanding of color through skill based drills into more creative expressions.

After School Art students are also hard at work with their class banner. This year they decided to use Emojis for their #classof2020 sign to hang in the cafeteria.

And finally, I want to thank all of the readers out there who have been stopping by to check out our work. Thanks to those who voted, this blog just got a 3rd place finish in The Art of Education Blog of the Year contest. 

I started this blog as a way to reflect and share - it has really become such a fun five years of writing and posting!

Light and Shadow

Dual Enrollment students worked with the concept of light and shadow with this assignment. It was fun to see them experiment with different ways to capture the light in their camera and how it impacted their final images. We are now moving onto their final thematic series to finish out the course. 

Here is a sample of the pieces submitted for the assignment:

I have not had a chance to post the works from my Dual Enrollment students earlier last month until now; students worked with a variety of images as they explored the concept of Depth of Field. Through the manipulation of aperture and shutter, students were able to control how much of their image was in focus. It was fun to see students explore with their settings and the diverse images that resulted. See for yourself below:

Dual Enrollment students worked with the concept of motion for their last assignment. Here are some examples of the types of images they made: 
Picture
Sarah used a slower shutter speed to capture this view from the second floor of the GRAM during the MAEA Region 9 show.
Picture
Kenton used a faster shutter to capture this moment of the stream of water frozen in space.
Picture
Tara uses panning to show movement of her brother.
Picture
Denise used a slower shutter speed to paint with light in the background of this figurine of Lady Liberty.
Picture
Holly used a slower shutter speed, a timer, and a tripod to capture this self portrait in motion.

Jason used a slower shutter speed to create this image.

Assignment 1 and Photo Challenges

I am very excited that I have the opportunity to teach Dual Enrollment classes through Kendall College of Art and Design. This semester I am teaching students an Introduction to Photography course where they will learn a variety of ways to capture images. Our first assignment was all about perspective and point of view.  The results offered a variety of solutions that showed new aspects of the everyday.

In addition to formal assignments, I have been giving students challenges that help them better apply the concepts being discussed during class lecture and in the reading. 

Snow Challenge

We had two snow days in the last week, so I challenged students to take pictures that characterized the snow. Here are two examples of the types of images students made when they were stuck home from school due to the snow days.

Panning Challenge

We are moving onto our next assignment, which deals with the concept of motion. Last class we went over a variety of photographers who use this concept in their work and then discussed the basics around the use of shutter speed to capture motion. Although they do not have to specifically incorporate any panning motion images in their next assignment, I wanted to challenge students to do one with people and the other with an object. Here are three results:

In addition to teaching 7th and 8th grade Art, I also have the unique privilege to teach Dual Enrollment courses for Kendall College of Art and Design. This semester I am teaching Intro to Photo for Non-Photo Majors. It is a digital photography course that will acquaint students with the fundamentals of using a digital SLR camera and composing a quality image. 

We are currently working on a project dealing with the concept of perspective and point of view. Students can make any type of image they like, with the emphasis on breaking away from traditional habits of centering images or only using standing eye view. 

After today's lecture on lenses and focal length, as well as a process critique of select images taken, students were asked to play a game - a seeing game. Having only 30 minutes, students went around the classroom and hallways of the school to take pictures of objects in ways that resembled letters to their names.

It was fun to see students search out letters and try unusual methods to solve this design problem. I am particularly proud that this mini-lesson was inspired by one of my students.

See the progress of Tara's painting for the Kendall Dual Enrollment class. We are using a stippling technique and personal palette in this project.
Students are using all kinds of materials this week to explore color. In my Dual Enrollment class, students are finishing up their personal pallet portraits by applying the color through a stippling technique. In 7th and 8th grade art classes, students are using the glazes from our funded DonorsChoose project to finish up their creatures and Anthropomorphic Vessels. I will be firing the work later this week and into next before students post the results on our Artsonia gallery.

This is my 4th year working with students during Spring Semester for Kendall College of Art and Design's Dual Enrollment program. It is nice to make the trip across Byron Center (from West Middle to the High School) and teach 9-12th graders (many of which I had at WMS) the ideas and applications in the foundational courses where they earn college credit. This year I am teaching Color, which is an examination of the properties of color and it's interaction with compositional elements. We are currently finishing the first project where students selected an image and recreate it in 6 variations.

This past week, students in my Photo class turned in assignments that explored depth of field through the use of the aperture in the camera lens. Here is a great video that explains how this works. The following are images students produced that shows both shallow and wide depth of field.
