The Art Teacher

Hi all,

Welcome to our blog folks.

Let's just quickly present the idea behind this blog. For starters, this is the F10's Art blog, here at CLIP, for a project we're just about to begin.

It's a 3 step project, but obviously you (f10) may want to push it a little further. The starting point is selecting a story/sentence from a Hans Christian Andersen Fairytale. The sentence is intended for an interpretational study.

What do we do? Well, that sentence is visually descriptive and that leads us to step 2. In order to draw the composition, you need to be well acquainted with the visual elements you find in the fairytale.

This means research for images. But that's not the end target. Student's final piece will be done in ink and possibly 1 to 2 colours as this has to do with step number 3.

Style.

Research and practicing with some images of Frank Miller, will help you deliver it in that particular style, and figure out the composition of the visual elements for your final Artwork.

Let's get cracking!!!

By the way, the blog is also intended to follow up on each others work and allow each student to comment on his or her experience with this project. But, to do this, there'll be 3 moderators to manage this blog. These are Nuno, Inês and Gonçalo.

That's all for now.
