Ms. Hsieh's Clarke Art Remote Learning: Before and After Art Challenge based on the Elements of Art- Part One

Art 6, Art 7 and Art 8

Hi, all:

Well done with your first assignment. I really enjoy working on the gallery and keep thinking to share the link with your parents. I think they will appreciate it just like Ms. Hsieh. I am still waiting for some of the students to turn in the assignment. Here is a quote, I like it a lot:

“Most people are mirrors, reflecting the moods and emotions of the times; few are windows, bringing light to bear on the dark corners where troubles fester. The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.”

― Sydney Harris

You are windows, please continue bringing the light to shine every corner of the world.

Before you read the second-week lesson, I would like to explain some key points to answer the questions you might have from this project and the questions you had from your first-week project.

1. This project is for two weeks( part 1 and part 2).

2. Each week you need to submit the google classroom assignment that includes a checklist based on a rubric to ensure the quality of the project.

3. The artwork should be created by yourself not a picture you found online.

4. The process of making artwork each week should be for 50 minutes or more of your choice.

5. If you decide to take a photograph, you should keep in mind that this project requires you a 50 minutes studio time.

6. You can use any medium/materials to express your artistic mind through different variety of art styles.

7. This website served as storage of lessons and galleries for all grade levels. You should only do the assignments I post in your Google Classroom but not getting confused by this website.

8. All assignments should be turned in on time. The final artwork will be posted in the online gallery.
