Research INTRO= RD #2 Complete!

We had a successful RD critique for these lovely investigative works on Thursday.    

Please take a moment and make a SPECIFIC critique to at least 2 of the RDs- not 

the ones you commented on previously but o.k. to connect with someone from your 

small group critique.  Please utilize the following framework, writing specifically 

 to one artwork but asking deeper questions.  Remember to refer to each other's art 

as artwork and not as a "piece" 
unless it is a part of the whole. 

Remember to give PROBING ANALYTICAL and CRITICAL feedback.  

When giving feedback to your peers, phrase your comments 
with supportive as 

well as critical information. 
"What works well in this artwork is ________."   


"I think _______ would improve the composition."    

"The artist is skilled at ________."   
"I am confused by _____. "   
"I would like 

to see more of ____."   Remember to put your images and discussion of 

process/progress in your IW. 
Remember to make a comment as soon as possible, 


comments will close as we move to discussing our next artwork. 

Comments will be open until 10/24/2012.

Go See Artworks LIVE!!

Today and hopefully at least 4 other times this school year we will walk together to see ART LIVE in person.  The reason is this: Being present with artwork is different than books, magazines, internet, film, etc...  Experience the feeling, smell, light, display, sounds, and all that is there.  Record what you experience and note what you LIKE!  Use images taped into your IW and notes.
Return (in your IW) to AT LEAST ONE= artwork/artist that you see today, after our visit. Dig deeper and find out a little more.  Include other images by that artist to compare to. Print and attach into your IW any written information you find.

P.A.D.A ( http://padaoregon.org/ ) is the Portland Art Dealers Association and a great link to see what is CURRENT live Artwork in Portland.

As we do not have any "cushion"time after school we will be leaving as close to the start of lunch as we can (11:10) so come to the Art room with a walking lunch and your IW, pencil, coat and purse (please no backpacks!).

Portland Art Museum is FREE and so are most galleries in Portland.  GO there!
