Thankful for Reading week- book and drawing

For our Thankful for Reading theme, I am reading the book Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen, which is a story about giving- and a little bit of mystery. You can find my book video and drawing in your art team in the agenda channel - look for this week's post. The drawing is a dog in a sweater like the one in the book, because who doesn’t love a dog in a sweater?!

I am also very thankful for friends who don’t attend Dolvin but have been reading my blog, like Jamie and Ashlee who also sent me some of their favorite links to check out - I will soon try to upload my new drawing videos in the Art at Home tab above. Thank you for hanging in there with me!

Have a happy and SAFE Thanksgiving everyone - gobble gobble!

Inspiring Artist Quotes

"I always loved art teachers because they were so bizarre. They were like the homeless people of the faculty -- all disheveled, wearing smocks, covered in paint, always digging through the garbage, looking for bottles and egg cartons and things." -Ted Alexandro

"Give me a museum and I'll fill it." - Pablo Picasso

"If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint." - Edward Hopper

"Creativity takes courage." - Henri Matisse

"One eye sees, the other feels." - Paul Klee

"I paint life as I would like it to be." - Norman Rockwell

"The way to get started is to stop talking and begin doing." - Walt Disney

"From the age of six I had a mania for drawing the shapes of things. When I was fifty I had published a universe of designs, but all I have done before the age of seventy is not worth bothering with. At seventy-five I'll have learned something of the pattern of nature, of animals, of plants, of trees, birds, fish and insects. When I am eighty you will see real progress. At ninety I shall have cut my way deeply into the mystery of life itself. At a hundred I shall be a marvelous artist. At a hundred and ten everything I create: a dot, a line, will jump to life as never before. I used to call myself Hokusai, but today I sign myself 'The Old Man Mad About Drawing' (Gakyo-rojin)" - Katsushika Hokusai

Elements of Design:
Line -a path made by a moving point
Shape - an area defined by its outline, geometric or organic
Form - a three-dimensional shape
Value - the lightness or darkness of an object
Color - hues on a spectrum; we use a color wheel made of primary, secondary, and intermediate colors
Texture - the way something feels or appears to feel
Space - the illusion of depth in an artwork

Figure - a body form or shape

Composition - an arrangement of lines, shapes, colors, etc. on a surface

Craftsmanship - using materials correctly and taking care in the production of a piece of art so that it is neatly presented

Studio - a room or space where an artist produces and stores work

Portfolio - a collection of work, or the container that holds the collection

Positive Space - the shape or object that is the focus

Negative space - the area around the positive space; also "leftover" space or background

Drawing: pencil, ink, pastel, chalk, charcoal

Painting: tempera or watercolor

Printmaking: creating multiple images by transferring ink from a stamp or plate

Collage: shapes that are cut and pasted to a surface

Sculpture: clay, metal, cardboard, or other 3-D materials

Textiles: stitchery or weaving

Technology: photography, computer art

Styles of art -

Realistic: objects look as they do in real life

Abstract: objects are based on real-life, but are changed artistically

Nonobjective: a design; no recognizable objects are found other than lines, shapes, colors, etc.
