I'm excited to say we've collected some more followers along the way and can now view the blog at school too! Thanks Mrs Troath :-)
Hope you all enjoyed the Teacher Only Day on Friday and therefore a longer weekend; can you believe we're half way through the first term already ?
"Surely it must be time to make a start on an Achievement Standard", I hear you say.
Indeed it is and we'll get cracking with this in your first lesson this week.Hip hip hoorraaaay!!!!
Examine Media and Process, for 3 credits, is our first internal challenge this year.
Final submission date is: Week 9 - 30.03.10. In class we will make weekly deadline dates to complete and check each task, so that it's not so daunting.
We will be using some of what we have already learned and researching three Renaissance works to demonstrate how the materials and techniques the artist used, determined partly what the art looked like when they had finished. Big brush = big picture (duh).
Don't forget to use the links in Week 2 for Tempera and Oil painting and Week 3 for the History of Colour. In class we'll be watching a DVD about how frescos were painted, but here's two great links also.
By this Friday you will have chosen the 3 pictures you want to study and then you're good to go.
As far as the rest of this week's lessons are concerned, here goes.............
- Completion of the history of Perspective. Make sure you've watched last week's links because there's a Q&A homework on this.
- Applying Perspective to Masaccio's work The Holy Trinity
- Masaccio the master of storytelling in The Brancacci Chapel
- The role of Narrative Painting, specifically Masaccio's epic Tribute Money
So as you can see, busy, busy, busy. If you missed a key element last week (ahem, Brooke & Tamara), let me know and we'll get it fixed so you don't fall behind. Enjoy.
