PORTFOLIO PREP SYLLABUS
Posted 2 months ago at 7:17 am. 0 comments
Expect high level of self-discipline and abilities.
Portfolio Preparation is a must.
Participation at National Portfolio Day is expected.
College Research, Application and Interviews.
Real-World Applications of Art-Making.
Self-motivated efforts are monitored and rewarded through self-awareness and recommendations.
PREREQUISITES:
1. Art I and Art II.
2. Discussion with Art Teacher for recommendation to guidance.
3. College Major: Visual Art Field, including multimedia.
COURSE SYLLABUS:
This class is designed for serious 11th and 12th graders that are considering pursuing the visual arts as a career. The course demands highly motivated students, self-discipline and it is technologically integrated. There is a strong demand for teamwork and support of one another. (There will be introductory instruction to Adobe Photoshop and Graphic Design with approval of MacIntosh workstation and Adobe inclusion if approved). Class maximum size restricted to 10.
*Students will enhance independent art projects separate from classroom projects to
strengthen portfolio.
*Students will seek visual stimulation from outside galleries and other artistic sources.
*Students will utilize current technological tools to enhance digital organizational skills.
*Students will create an atmosphere that is conducive to peer support.
WHY?
High School Art Education comprises of the standards. As a public teacher of the arts I am an advocate to teaching the standards which include techniques and processes, art history, criticism, media exploration and manipulation and overall an art appreciation for the majority of high school students.
It is my belief that 95% of these students gain knowledge of history, processes, media, criticism and aesthetics. It is my belief that 5% of those students are truly gifted in art and only gain their minimum potential due to the limitations posed on them in a traditional art classroom. Although creativity is encouraged as much as possible in an art room, they are bound by instructional formats, project guidelines and technical expertise that is necessary in a public school art room. This minority population naturally needs to develop these skills as well, but are far more capable of taking it to the next level. These are students that wish to create art because they share a love of it and wish to pursue it in life.
I would like to arrange the ‘Portfolio Prep’ class as a formal collaboration between teacher and students. It is a shared experience of seeking art through gallery exploration and to be inspired by current working artists that are expressing their vision of the world around them. The Portfolio Prep class would maintain it’s objective as being the first foundation for future artists: portfolios, art educational opportunities, promotion of the arts through fundraisers, peer support for each other and a safe place to grow as artists with a supportive structure built in one another.
Some of our core work would revolve around using MacIntosh hardware and Adobe suite software. I have submitted a successful proposal on the strengths of MACs in the current collegiate and working world; I believe we can address that need for future visual artists and designers. I do have large concerns for students that are going into college for the arts with no knowledge of MacIntosh operating systems.

INTRO TO CLAY
Posted 2 years, 2 months ago at 12:12 pm. 0 comments
Clay is a naturally occurring material, composed primarily of fine-grained minerals, which show plasticity through a variable range of water content, and which can be hardened when dried or fired.
Clays exhibit plasticity when mixed with water in certain proportions. When dry, clay becomes firm and when fired in a kiln, permanent physical and chemical reactions occur which, amongst other changes, causes the clay to be converted into a ceramic material. It is because of these properties that clay is used for making pottery items, both practical and decorative. Different types of clay, when used with different minerals and firing conditions, are used to produce earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. Early humans discovered the useful properties of clay in prehistoric times, and one of the earliest artifacts ever uncovered is a drinking vessel made of sun-dried clay. Depending on the content of the soil, clay can appear in various colors, from a dull gray to a deep orange-red.
Clay tablets were used as the first writing medium, inscribed with cuneiform script through the use of a blunt reed called a stylus.
Clays sintered in fire were the first form of ceramic. Bricks, cooking pots, art objects, dishware and even musical instruments such as the ocarina can all be shaped from clay before being fired. Clay is also used in many industrial processes, such as paper making, cement production and chemical filtering. Additionally, Clay is often used in the manufacture of pipes for smoking tobacco.
Clay, being relatively impermeable to water, is also used where natural seals are needed, such as in the cores of dams, or as a barrier in landfills against toxic seepage. Recent studies have been carried out to investigate clay’s adsorption capacities in various applications, such as the removal of heavy metals from waste water and air purification.

PORTFOLIO DAY IN PHILLY!

PORTFOLIO DAY IN PHILLY!
I AM PROUD TO BE YOUR EDUCATOR.
I AM PROUD TO BE YOUR ART ADVOCATE.
(your second, because your parents naturally, were your first art advocates!)
It’s not easy to put yourself out there to be judged. Actually, it’s probably the hardest thing you will do over and over and over again. Sometimes you walk with pride and sometimes you walk with a lump in your throat. I have been there and so has every artist that has ever met success. You can’t meet success without having to cross those obstacles…but the reason you meet success is that you dared to cross them in the first place.
Imagine: you are on a giant stone in the middle of the river…do you keep jumping to reach the other side or will you stay there forever alone, watching others take the leaps you want to so badly? It is okay to be afraid and it is natural to be afraid…but use fear as your motivator to learn, to grow and to understand your future with hope. In the end, you want one thing: to be happy making art…and that’s all that counts.
Some of you met success on your first stone and the next one seems closer…some of you found out that the stone is a little further away then you thought and now you may have to swim a little to reach it. ALL of us artists will do that from time to time—but it makes the JOURNEY, the ADVENTURE and the PRIZE all the more inspiring and rewarding. All four of you were brave even in fear, and you have all met success on this first venture. Be Proud of yourself. You have accomplished something that no student from Susquehanna has yet…you are the firsts to lead the way.
THEN DINNER!
