Banksy and New Media?

Especially for the Grade 12s ....... but interesting .......
The Day has some great activities we can think about this week.

YOU DECIDE		ACTIVITIES
1. Who does Banksy’s Slave Labourbelong to? 2. Is street art only meaningful when it is in its original setting? Why?		1. Consider Slave Labour, or another piece of street art that you particularly like. Write a short analysis of how it draws meaning from its particular context and place. 2. Go on a search for graffiti, and create a short film or photo essay about the street art in your area.

Slave Labour by Banksy

Emergency Wednesday drill........

Sorry people - my body can't make it in today, although my spirit is still willing! 

I can be reached at neithmoore906@gmail.com - take phone photos and email them for instant comments.


Grade 12s .....
Please carry on with Learning Outcome 2 ...i.e. work on your product/art work.
Zama ..... please hand out stock.
Courtney ...... please follow this link 
http://youthvoices.adobe.com/awards/submissions and e-mail / skype to chat.

Grade 9s ....
Please get a card from Mrs Sturgess (on the trolley) and plan your Image of Beauty on it. The whole card should be used- not just the middle bit. If you are being 'batted' near the studio, you can probably use the netbooks from Mrs Sturgess.

Critical analysis - Adobe Youth Voices

For my Grade 11s and 12s ..........

Have a look at this video, and then please 'comment' through this post.

VIDEO LINK to Deaf Not Dumb

Use the following criteria as your guideline for your 'comment' ...

Create with Purpose Criteria:

• Relevancy (to the makers and the audience)

• Intentionality (an intended audience and impact)

• Youth Voice (clear point of view or specific perspective)

• Youth generated methods (but also educator facilitated)

• Creativity & Innovation (evident in style and content)

• Inquiry-Based (derived and led by youth questions)

• Quality (effective use of tools and techniques)

Remember - this 'comment' is really an academic analysis, so use your top-class skills!

Exhibition for all

For all learners ....
This is an opportunity to get some of your completed work seen. Who know where it might lead? 
Let's brag about how great our art is at DGHS.

Mixed Media People - a brief

Mixed Media People is a very broad brief for those learners who enjoy working with the human figure and/or human relationships (even with yourself!).

Jane Maxwell ”Asparagus Girls“ • 31" × 58" × 3" • Mixed media on panel

For those of you who enjoy objects rather than people - look at the Woolworths Educational Programme Brief - also on this blog.

I have bought two excellent e-books on Mixed Media People which you should read.
I will try and share the links .......... otherwise they are saved on our server and on the two Studio USB flash drives.

These are the criteria which we will be using for our school assessment for the sourcebook:-
Due date .... 18th February 2013
Notice that you should aim for AT LEAST 5 x A3 pages.
1.  Mind mapping and/or brainstorming (+/- 5 ideas) - illustrated
2.  Development of 2 ideas - illustrated
3.  Investigation of the chosen idea (other artists? examples? all   referenced) - illustrated
4.  Experimentation with materials (problem-solving) - photos and samples
5.  Final drawing of idea/product (at least an A4 tonal study)
6.  A summary which will be your written final proposal / intention - to be done in class
7.  Reflection (SWOT analysis of your idea) - to be done in class

Last Week of your sourcebook!!!
We will ALL be working on the tonal drawing together in class. If you don't have visual material for this, then you will be working on the netbooks - on an A4 'artist's statement'. Read Andries Botha's catalogue (or other catalogues) to get an idea of how to do this.

WOOLWORTHS 2013

Woolworths  Brief

Here is a link to the PDF brief for you to follow on your phone.

We will complete the Pitch after we have finished our sourcebooks (due on the 18th February 2013). 

The competition Pitch will be delivered to Woolworths digitally, but we will not send them the whole sourcebook, as they battled to handle the file sizes and blog last year.

These are the criteria which we will be using for our school assessment for the sourcebook:-
Due date .... 18th February 2013

1.  Mind mapping and/or brainstorming (+/- 5 ideas) - illustrated
2.  Development of 2 ideas - illustrated
3.  Investigation of the chosen idea (other artists? examples? all referenced) - illustrated
4.  Experimentation with materials (problem-solving) - photos and samples
5.  Final drawing of idea/product (at least an A4 tonal study)
6. Written proposal / intention (summary) - in class
7.  Reflection (SWOT analysis of your idea) - in class

Last Week of your sourcebook!!!
We will ALL be working on the tonal drawing together in class. If you don't have visual material for this, then you will be working on the netbooks - on a digital word-processing app. 

Look at 'The Pitch' criteria for headlines for the chunks.

Grade 9 2013 Welcome

Hello Grade 9s!

There are an awful lot of you, so please let me know your e-mail addresses asap.

Our theme for the year is the question ...

How do we perceive beauty in art?

Jane Alexander - Oh Yes Girl.......

Disney's new Sofia princess

Discuss the 'beauty' you see here with your group.


Now 'comment' on the types of Beauty that you see in these two faces. Find and interpret 5 aspects for each. OBSERVE carefully!

A chart method to help you ......but please comment using full sentences, good spelling and punctuation.

You might like to research further about these two faces.......

Links to 'Oh Yes Girl.......'

• You may also 'google' these topics. Share sites! 
• You may like to work on-line first on Google Drive (Documents) - similar to Word (see bookmark). Also Notepad, Wordpad .... Then you can 'cut & paste' to the 'comments' below.

Welcome!

Welcome back for 2013, and congratulations to last year's Matrics on getting a 82% aggregate - you were stars.
