Mr. Klausing's Art Classes- Oct. 19-22
In Drawing I, students continued to work on their house drawings using 1 or 2-point perspective.
These drawings are due on Wednesday, Oct. 28th. If you have been absent for more than two days, be sure to talk to Mr. Klausing about arranging an extended due date. There was no required sketch for the week of 10/19-10/22. The next sketch that is due is a still-life of at least 3 fruits or vegetables and it is due on Friday, October 30th. Students who have not turned in their sketchbooks to have the in-class sketchbook activities for the first 7 weeks of school accounted for need to do that as soon as possible as those points are now recorded in Powergrade. Students in Drawing I will begin working with drawing portraits and figure drawings next week.

In Drawing II, students completed work on their close-up pastel drawings and turned those in on Oct. 22nd. During classtime, students worked on some still-life drawings of bones using pen and india ink. Those were turned in with their required sketches on October 22. The next required sketch for Drawing II is a portrait or a figure drawing showing action. It is due on Thursday, Oct. 29th.

Drawing III students continued working on their Independent Study Projects. The due date for the current Independent Study Project drawing is Friday, October 30th. The next required sketch for Drawing III is Genre Sketch #3. This sketch should be of an individual or individuals doing what they do on a daily basis. This sketch is due on Thursday, October 29th.

Painting II and III students are working on producing five paintings for the fall play Is He Dead? All of these paintings are copies of famous master paintings by Jean Francois Millet, a famous French realist of the 19th century.

In IB Visual Arts and Portfolio, both Juniors and Seniors are working on their theme-based Independent Study Projects. This will be the 2nd Independent Study project for seniors and the first for Juniors. These projects are due on Wednesday, Oct. 28th.
