Begin making art work and RESEARCH

 Please start generating ideas for the first project through the lens of whatever work/ techniques/ skills/ ideas/ you are getting in your advanced studio class.
Follow the steps outlined on Intro to Research.
In the Adv. paint/print class students are looking at murals painted in a "Street Art" style. They are looking at many different mural painting artists, learning how to cut a stencil, starting to think about space and how to create a painting that would help create the illusion of space/depth.  Though they have not begun an actual project for a particular space, they have begun gathering images of work that is inspiring.  They will collaborate to create some design ideas and that could be used on walls, or large scale painting.

Please check this site for information, updates and sharing images. This image is from last year's trip to NYC when we did a workshop at the Guggenheim!!! So awesome!

feels like flying... exciting, scary, beautiful...
