Grade 12 Art - Studio Assignments
You will learn several new Studio Assignments during the course of this semester. The aim is for the majority of these projects to be completed during class time with teacher assistance, but you may wish to work on them further at home if need be.
COLLECTION REFERENCE MATERIAL FOR THE STUDIO PROJECTS:
When you collect any requested images, please have them readily accessible for class. They can be in your sketchbook or saved to your phone (your choice), whatever is most accessible for you.

1. Find a childhood stuffy / toy that you can bring to class
(we will photograph it for our oil painting assignment) 2. - collect images of vintage advertising that you like - collect images of logos you like (old school or new) - collect images of products you either love or hate - find a picture of a snack / food / drink that you loved as a kid |
3. Look at the art of members of the PAINTERS 11 (a Canadian group of abstract painters). Collect THREE images you like.
NOTE: Which of the members do you like most for their work? Why? Which do you like least based on their work? Why? |
