  • SUMMER PROJECTS

    ADVANCED SUMMER PROJECT, (Art 2-4):

     A minimum of 54 photos.
    27 of these photos need to be printed in color. You will be using these images to create Art work throughout the year.  If your Photos are boring, it is very likely that your artwork will be boring as well.   (It is usually very cost-effective to have them printed at a grocery or drug store.), (unprinted should be on a disc that can be opened by any computer, not Photoshop,) Subject matter should contain at least 6 images of the following subjects:
      Clouds (3 printed at least 4x6)
      Faces (3 printed at least 4x6)
      Animals (3 printed at least 4x6
      Architecture (3 printed at least 4x6)
      Outdoor gatherings (3 printed at least 4x6)
      People working (3 printed at least 4x6)
      Landscape (3 printed at least 4x6)
      Any other subjects that interest you (flowers, trees, butterflies, cars, motorcycles, sports,   etc….) (3 printed at least 4x6)
      Western themed photos, rodeo, farm or ranch animals, cowboys, Native Americans, etc…..) (3 printed at least 4x6)
    These photos will be used for subjects of art pieces for the entire year. They should be  taken by the student and should never be published images.
     

    AP & Pre AP SUMMER PROJECT

    All of the photos listed above plus the following:
      2-3 Fully-developed, well-planned, portfolio quality pieces. These can be in any media. These pieces should be portfolio quality images.

    A sketchbook (at least 20 pages completed) containing the following:
     Sketches
     Fully-developed drawings
     Studies of challenging subjects (hands, feet, faces and parts of faces such as noses)
    Plans for future pieces
     Fun drawings


    If possible, take a course to develop skills. Laguna Gloria offers classes, as do local studios.
    This summer assignment is worth 2 major grades at the beginning of the 1st six weeks. (Approx. 20%)
    Have a nice summer. I look forward to seeing you in the fall.
