HL1 and SL1 Summer Grading Rubric

Hello all students new to IB Art; I look forward to working with you. The summer assignment grading rubric is here. Your summer assignment will be assessed on the first day that we meet. Be sure to bring in the supplies; I will be checking for those, too!

Hi my name is Johanna. I'm going to be a junior joining the IB art class!  See you all soon!

This is a charcoal still life from last year, nothing special!

This is a sketch I just completed of a random foot, I'm not very experienced!

Hands and Feet

Here are some drawings of my Feet and Hand! Discovered my favorite pencil to draw with would have to be 4B. I've never been in an art class before so, I never used anything other than a number 2 pencil to doodle! So I've been testing out all of my new different ones. I like the pencils that have less forgiveness and are darker, I used 4B on my last drawing of the Peace sign hand. Hope everyone enjoys their last days of summer! <3 Cali

This is a drawing of my clunched fist. I tried to add some shading to make it more three-deminsonal.

Grading rubric for summer assignment: HL2

I will collect IWBs from  HL2 students on the first day of class.  This rubric shows you how I will grade your summer assignment.  If you did more than the minimum expectations, I will surely give you credit for that as well!

I am looking forward to seeing you all next week!

Art That I've Done In the Past! Love, Em :)

This was after practicing body shapes and trying to realistically depict legs and arms. It went with another drawing that showed an opposite emotion. This was about 2 or 3 years ago. There isn't any shading!!

This is more recent. I draw or write when I'm upset, and I was feeling lonely when I created this. I like the dimensions I used. The figure still doesn't have any shading!

This drawing is one of my favorites! I started shading to put some depth into the fabric and body. The hair is the best part though :)

Again, an emotional piece. The frog represents me and the 3 different scenes are things that seemed to be going wrong for me at the time. The hair in the bottom right came out well and the highlights and lowlights were an improvement.

Hi! My name is Em. I am in the middle of gathering some old artwork to post here, but wanted to get my blog post up. I prefer to sketch, but I've painted in the past as well. I'm looking forward to maybe expanding my artistic abilities this year :)

DECAY

Tree leafs and Charcoal on Canvas

by Jae Hoon Jang

Pollution is the main theme of the work. Sad face symbolizes tree's silent suffering from pollutions.The reason why there are more negative spaces than positive spaces is because I wanted to express the emptiness. Which will enrich the symbolism of tree's suffering. Since organic material of leafs were used, the work will show the process of decaying such as color changes. Decaying process will also enrich the main theme of pollution and suffering tree.

So here are some photos I made today and a drawing of my hand.

These are my four observational drawings. I like them, but feel that they could use some refinement. The stapler and the soldier were intended to be sketches, though. My shading could use some consistency; I didn't want to make the drawings to dark and thus tried to be sparing with it.

Mini Stapler

Toy Soldier

My 2D definitely needs more improvement than my 3D, though...

Wall Hanging from July

Hey, my name is Richard Prey. Here are some of my Pictures I made in the past week during my trip in USA and Canada. I made this in New York. It was my first day in USA and I was overwhelmed of all the flags. And this is what was coming out. I will publish more photos and drawings soon.

FOR THOUGHT: Street Art vs Public Art

Here is a CNN article regarding the nature and aesthetics of street and public art.

Hey everybody! I was sadly away for the whole summer at camp, and did not know that there was anything due! I have put the drawings that I did at camp in the book, and will add pictures of them later, but here are some pictures I have taken recently or at camp!
