2) You then must go through the 6 journal pages from your fellow students. Look them over carefully

3) After reviewing them you must choose 2 entries and comment on them. You may record or write you comments. YOU MUST ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS TO RECEIVE FULL CREDIT.

a) What attracted you to this student's journal entry and why?

b) Is there an Emphasis (Center of Interest or Shout) on the page?

c) How did the artist achieve this center of interest? Hint here: Contrast is important in achieving a center of interest. This can be done contrasting size, color, value (lightness or darkness), and texture. Placement on the page can also be a factor. Cite all that apply and why.

Two More Journal Artists

Two more journal artists to look at this week. Look at both artists then write a response (minimum 1 paragraph) comparing and contrasting the two artists. You may use specific pages from each artists or speak about their work as a whole.

Please talk about the similiarities and differences you see. Remember to discuss the Elements of Art: line, shape, color, value, and texture and where they're used. Also think about the design principle called Emphasis. How does each artist create a center of interest (Shout) or emphasis?

This assignment is due Tuesday, November 24th.

Welcome

Welcome to the PJG Studio Art Blog. You will need come here to complete some assignments. Please bookmark this page.

Before you start creating entries it's a good idea to see some work done by Visual Journal artists. You should look at both artists first. Next, decide which one you would like to write about.
Write at least a pargraph response about one of the artist's work. You may talk about their work as a whole or a specific page. Remember to use "artspeak". Talk about color, shape, texture, line, and how the artist used these elements of art to make something interesting. This assignment is due Tuesday, Sept. 8th
