An Interview with James Rosenquist

Bent Objects

I'm going to be teaching sculpture to my Art II students next semester, and may give them the option of working with wire. This gentleman has done some true wire sculptures, and some with other items mixed in. Take a look!

I am definitely doing the Whole Brain Teaching thing next semester. http://bit.ly/UmQcs

9 More Days!

Ack! Nine more days in this semester before exams. We are flying through the elements and principles of art, with a small booklet project thrown in. I am almost finished with a new powerpoint for the elements of art. There seems to be little good information by way of videos or websites, so I am making it up. There's The Artist's Toolkit, but it doesn't cover everything, and it is geared more to younger students.

While looking, I rediscovered A Lifetime of Color. There are lesson plans for K-8, but what is really neat are the activities, especially the technique demos. There are some that we use with high school, especially the ones about facial proportions.

Epiphany
