GOOGLE ART PROJECT

Use this wonderful site to find your "Artist Mentor"..... an artist whose work interests you.

Collect and print a sample of their work, the artwork's name, the artist's name, the date the piece was made, and what you think the most important ELEMENT of art they used in making the piece.

Use some part of their work in each of your designs...

Starting the FINAL PROJECT! Brainstorming...

Here are examples of student's developing ideas through "BRAINSTORM MAPS".....

You are asked to create your own brainstorming map to develop a theme for your final project artwork...

The brainstorm map has a center "theme", or BIG IDEA- then you branch off it with new ideas...

The theme is something BROAD, that you can not touch (emotions, beauty, etc.) and as you branch off it, you get ideas for things you CAN touch that relate to it....

Here are some sample maps from students in my Painting class...
