SKETCHBOOK ASSIGNMENTS and EXAMPLES.

Select a piece of music, preferably with no words, and VISUALLY describe the evolution of what you hear.  Perhaps assign certain repetitive sounds can be indicated by the same color or mark.  Different notations and marks can indicate different octaves or the occurence of rests.

Emphasis is on working nonobjectively in order to reinforce the SENSATION of the sound rather than a literal interpretation.  Use the long horizontal scroll provided to capture the evolution of the song.

What's your personal direction?

In Art 4, students are expected to create work that is more technically refined and intellectually challenging. Along with teacher driven assignments, students in Art 4 will enjoy the freedom of working independently. It is also expected that they student will compose an individual plan and proposal that will help direct students to meet their goals. This proposal will include, but isn't limited to...

• A statement of your objectives.
• An indication of materials, sizes, and number of completed pieces.
• An account of previous course work which give evidence to your preparation for the project.

These proposals are due on MONDAY SEPT 20th. They can be typed or handwritten. Students will discuss their personal goals with the teacher on this day.
