EXAMPLE POST - Uploading a Photo of a drawing

Here is my drawing of a lamp.
I think that it's pretty good for the first time. I could improve the base of the lamp. I like the way I shaded it.

Lets complete our drawings

Today we will complete our first drawings.

You will need to staple together and turn in your:
Chair
Hand
Corner of room
Lamp
Shoe
Self Portrait
and don't forget the drawing of your choice.

I would like each of you to take a picture of your drawing and email it to yourself. It may take a few tries to get this right.

I will first give a brief quiz, the Art Foundations Beginning of Year Pre-Test. It's for me to determine the levels or Art knowledge of the class. Do your best, and don't worry if you don't know an answer.

Our First Drawings

Last class we had some time to draw after we completed our Blog assignment.

Today we will continue these drawings, but before we begin I want you to consider that there are three ways we can draw...
1. From reality
2. From our memory
3. From our imagination

This class will focus on drawings from reality. We will only draw what we SEE, not remember or make up from our imagination.

Last time you tried drawing a chair, and some of you started on a drawing of your hand.

Keep on working on those drawings if you need to complete them.

The rest of the drawings will be:

The corner of the room
A lamp
A self portrait
Your shoe

Just for fun,the last drawing can be of anything you want, either from the room or your imagination or memory.

Make sure your name, date and block are written in the top corner of the page.

Welcome to Art Foundations!

Welcome to Art Foundations! I hope you are ready for a creative year ahead.
Today we'll go over the syllabus and other important information.

Please read this at home with your parents and ask them to email me confirming they have read it:
johncazort@mail.ozark.k12.mo.us

After the syllabus we will answer a few questions on a worksheet and begin some drawing exercises...we will dive right in!!!

Required materials: This year there is no art fee. Next class please bring a 1 inch three ring binder to class. If you can get one with plastic sleeves that would be best. It can be any color you'd like.
