Art question week sep 20-25

In the four art projects we did in art class this week they all had a sort of different creativeness in common. They all invloved us to somehow step out of a comfort zone and be creative and adventurous.

Re-visiting observation/description activity

Lexis postcard was called birthday. The art that the person drew with the directions did not have much resemblance to the postcard. The two people were left out of the drawing along with most of the surroundings.

Giving Up Control:Pours

Today in art class, we mixed paint with water and poured it onto a large sheet of paper. The colors mixed together and formed interesting designs and nice colors. Then we moved the paper so that the colors would mix and the paint would spread. Alex was my partner and we created three papers with different colors and interesting designs.

Collaborative drawing

How did having someone else work on your drawing add to or take away from the final result?

Today in art, we were given some materials and a paper penguin. We were told to think of an idea and start making a picture out of it. Then, we switched drawings with people and they worked on the picture how they thought it should look. Then, people had to cover up what they didn't like that someone else had added. Having someone else work on my art made it have a different outcome then i thought it would. At the end, we tryed to correct it how we wanted it to look.

An artist is anyone. Anyone that likes to do art is considered at artist. Many people are artists in different ways even when they don't know it. Dancing, cooking, singing, acting, and more are all arts as well.

To be creative means to just have an idea. Any kind of a creative artsy idea is creative. Creative is stepping out of the lines and going beyond the obvious in making art.

Describe at least 3 or 4 things an artist needs to be creative and productive.

An artist needs an idea, material, and space to be creative. The main part to being creative is having an idea. An artist needs materials to make the creative art. Also to make art artists need some sort of space and scenery for the making of the art.
