I expect all of you to support each other's artistic development with appropriate suggestions and assistance with whatever is needed to get materials or to meet construction deadlines.

Communicate with Ms. Dayton on the AP 3D studio course blog.  You will be expected to post to your wiki page at least once a week over the summer months.

The wiki and the blog will enable you to communicate with your classmates as well.

How to get started with a wiki

CRUNCH your photos to less than 75kb!  Use photoshop or the free irfanview program and resize your images first.  Then compress them.

Please see the instructions attached.  Please, no more large image files!! CrunchPhotos2.doc

So, Ms D, one of the guidelines reads, "The work demonstrates confident articulation of the principles of 3D Design".  What are they again?

 Go to see the works of French artist Annette Messager who will be displaying some of the same sculpture shown at the Centre Pompidou in Paris last year. Write a description and analysis using the form above.

But Ms. Dayton, I don't know how to critique an artwork!

Ok, try using this guide.  Take it with you to the museum.

Take a look at Mark Leuthold's art.  Do you see a concentration dealing with line in these works?  What is the material?

Examples of Concentrations

• A series of three-dimensional works that begin with representational interpretations and evolve into abstraction
• A series of site-specific works that affect existing form or space
• Abstractions developed from natural or mechanical objects
• Assemblages that juxtapose the coarse and refined qualities of a material
• A ceramics project in which wheel-thrown and hand-built vessels demonstrate inventive thinking and proficiency with form
• The use of multiples/modules to create compositions that reflect psychological or narrative events
• A series of sculptures that explore the relationship between interior and exterior space

• Work that demonstrates modular development
• Work that uses light or shadow to determine form, with particular attention to surface and interior space
• Work that demonstrates an understanding of symmetry, asymmetry, balance, anomaly, and rhythm
• Work that focuses on transitions, such as organic to mechanical
• Assemblage or constructive work that demonstrates transformation of material or object identity
• Work that demonstrates an integration of color, texture, and form
