Art Projects

Ethan is in Art 1010 (art appreciation).  The course requires him to take 4 tests and do 2 art projects.  He took the tests first so he had 2 art projects to complete.

His teacher doesn't give them much advanced notice (only about 4 days) so it's kind of crazy.  The project has to take 7 hours.  Along with creating art, Ethan had to have pictures taken of each step which he would use to make a PowerPoint presentation.  He also had to write a 500-word essay explaining his process and how the art he created fits into the teacher's expectations.

The first project was given to them on Halloween (Tuesday) and it was due Thursday morning.  It was kind of crazy.  Ethan was asked to create a 4-panel drawing/painting showing the 4 stages of love.  But they were asked to do it with a modern twist.

Ethan decided to draw panels showing Facebook and the 4 stages of falling in love using Facebook.  The first panel was "The Search," the second panel was "The Chat," the third panel was "The Post," and the fourth panel was of "The Status Change."


He did really well and earned full points for the project.  It was crazy busy for him to get it done in 2 days, especially when one was Halloween night!

The second project was a sculpture that he had to make beautiful and take pictures of.  He then had to change the sculpture into something either tacky, ugly, etc.

He was given this one on a Friday and it was due Tuesday, so he had more time to take care of it.  We went to Michael's and bought some sculpting clay and he started to make a man.

He decided to sculpt a man who was dressed nicely and then change him to be dressed in crazy colors.  It turned out great.  He hasn't received a grade yet on this one but it wasn't as crazy as the last one.

He needed pictures of himself buying stuff.
