Draw Your Beverage Assignment March 5th

Draw beverage, faces, friend's shoes, animals, poses, hands, what else?
 I miss Chankyo's daily drawings and Rhea's life drawings.
Make a habit of drawing.

You don't have to draw beverage.
Just pick one subject draw it everyday, everyday is tough, you can draw 3days/week?





Every week, we bring you a project idea to help you maintain a habit of making cool stuff. Want to jumpstart your creative habit? Sign up for 28 to Make (it’s free) and you’ll get a quick project idea in your inbox every day for 28 days. Happy making!
This week’s project is one of the daily project ideas from 28 to Make, our free tool for jumpstarting your creative habit. What are you drinking right now? Is there a cup of coffee or tea on your desk? Maybe a bottle of water or a can of soda? Your beverage sits faithfully at an arm’s reach, just waiting to slake your thirst at a moment’s notice. It may not be the most majestic or beautiful item in your workspace, but we think it’s important (and fun) to celebrate everyday objects through drawing. This week, find some time to draw whatever it is you happen to be drinking. Having a rough day? Feel free to draw what you wish you were drinking instead. If you love to stay busy drawing, we really recommend Kate Bingaman-Burt’s class: Drawing the Everyday Every Day. In it, she gives you tons of tips and tools for staying inspired, productive, and happy by keeping a visual journal of the little things.

History of animation

Starting in the early 1800's we saw a variety of mechanical devices that used rows of images printed on strips or disks of paper to create the illusion of motion. These were the first animation devices.

The phenakistoscope was basically a spinning disk of images that you viewed through a narrow slit to trick your brain to see a sequence of images instead of a continuous blur.

The Phenakistoscope

The praxinoscope used mirrors to achieve the same result — reflected pictures on the inside of a spinning cylinder appeared as a moving picture.

The Praxinoscope

The zoetrope combined these concepts, with a spinning cylinder and narrow slits you'd look through to see the "moving" image.

The Zoetrope

There's also the poor man's version, the flip book, which was actually invented around the same time as these other contraptions.

Whether it was a spinning disk or a series of mirrors, the end result was actually pretty similar to the GIFs we know today — looping images that play cognitive tricks to allow us to see motion.
The technique of the phenakistoscope and other devices hasn't dissapeared entirely, even if it's been replaced by more sophisticated, digital forms.

Learning to do more than just see – to observe, study and remember one’s subject is essential to learning to draw and paint.


The next step is to develop and work from a strong visual memory. The development of a visual memory is the way to retain one’s observations and pull from them not only the essential visual elements of the moment, but also the emotion connected to them.


 After many years of practice, this process can happen almost unconsciously every time we pick up a brush, even when painting outdoors. Back in the studio, we rely even more heavily on our visual library to instill life and emotion in our work. It is no wonder, then, that art created in partnership with the visual memory has the ability to touch emotion and engage the viewer more than mere representation.



 “simply to reproduce in other minds the impression which a scene has made upon him . . . A work of art does not appeal to the intellect. It does not appeal to the moral sense. Its aim is not to instruct, not to edify, but to awaken an emotion . . . Details in the picture must be elaborated only enough [to] fully reproduce the impression that the artist wishes to reproduce. When more than this is done, the impression is weakened or lost, and we see simply an array of external things which may be very cleverly painted, and may look very real, but which do not make an artistic painting.” (Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, February 1878, “A Painter on Painting”, George Inness.)

No Wall No Ban

http://mymodernmet.com/artists-respond-refugee-ban/

 When President Trump signed an executive order banning refugees from around the world, the backlash was swift. Many were horrified that the United States—a country built by immigrants—would turn its back to those seeking refuge from oppression. In response, spontaneous demonstrations erupted at airports throughout the country as people stood up for values that America was founded on. While many channelled their anger, frustration, and sadness into protest signs and chants, others responded through artwork about the refugee ban.

2017 classes

Hi Rhea and Chanko,
 I hope you are enjoying new year! Yay! Sorry for the late notice.
 We are going to start classes from February. Are you excited? :)



 I realized that Sunday evening is not the best time to hang out since you guys sometimes still have homework to finish before Monday. And I have been very busy at work making Coco. :) What is Coco? https://moviepilot.com/posts/3988044

 For now, we will meet in this blog and communicate in the blog. I have to emphasize "good communication" again. :) We are going to have a weekly lectures and assignments.


 And..... more exciting news! I will have  reports send out to you and your parents. So you know where you are in the schedule.

My goal is not to give you tons of work and stress you out. I want you learn joy of art, and art of healing when you work on art.

 Also, I want you to learn how to manage your hours and goals. I know you want to learn computer skills and animation. Yes, they are exciting! However, you also need to build your foundation strongly to move forward. Both of you still need to master proportion, line of action and visual story telling. When young children try to learn how to type on keyboard before they learn how to write with pencil in their hands, we all know it is not going to work very well.

 I will introduce basic animation and computer skills. Also , I will try to balance foundation and advance skills.

 You have to work on assignments on your pace. So please manage your hours and plan accordingly. I will remind you, our plans and goals as we go.


 Please feel free to ask any time. Please comment and post as much as possible. ;)


Happy new year! and looking forward to seeing you soon.
 Spring session is from Feb- April.
No summer session, enjoy your summer vacation & camps.

Gabi Shull

Gabi's story touched my heart. What is your limit? I hope you overcome your limit and be a winner! One teen has defied all odds as a dancer with a prosthetic leg. When Gabi Shull removes her prosthetic, her leg is backwards. The Missouri native traveled to Houston to perform in a fundraiser for children battling cancer this past summer. Shull took the stage and wowed the crowd and inspired everyone by taking a giant step forward. She has loved to dance from time she was 3 years old. In 2010, an MRI revealed a tumor and she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma a rare form of cancer.

Have awesome weekend!

Feel the fear and do it anyway

 

Feel the fear and do it anyway

Many high school students fail to enter art competitions, as they are daunted about the standard of work required They worry that their artwork would never compare to this and that they have no chance of winning; deciding the competition is not worth their time and effort. If you worry that you are not good enough, it is worth remembering that:

1. No one needs to know that you have entered. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
2. Everyone else has the same fear as you, so the number of people who enter is surprisingly low – especially for competitions that are less well known (like many of the ones on this list). Of those who do enter, many are ‘whole class’ submissions, where a teacher has required whole class participation. Your serious competitors are far fewer than you think.
3. Judges sometimes favour unexpected work – it is not always those who produce exceptionally realistic artwork who win. Your creative approach might be just what the judge is looking for.
4. You may have already produced appropriate work as part of a school project or may be able to tailor an upcoming school project around a competition brief. Digital submissions can also mean it is possible to enter multiple competitions using the same work (check particular rules of each competition to make sure this is allowed), so this can mean that much less time is required to submit an entry.
