We've had a good start to summer artmaking. On Tuesday we looked at drawing without looking at our drawings, learned about our cameras by using them, and started drawing from life and our own original photographs.
On Wednesday we developed fun concepts - like Omnivore,Radish Fish and Skunk Blast, created really great characters and objects in plastecine, started our storyboards and painted our backdrops for our claymation cartoons.
It's great having more time than an afterschool session to work on something in ArtClub - We have time to develop our ideas and explore our processes, and to actually get things done.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday I'll share some examples of work by other artists for reference now that our work has started. And... this is a link to the slightly scary claymation animation we looked at -which prompted a great discussion on the different qualities of feelings that music can evoke. There are a lot of great links and info to be found at Princeton Online's Incredible Art Department
More pictures to follow. Will try to share our claymation process for future reference.
