Today, Art 78 students discussed many different types of art and creative careers. We talked about the fact that "artists" don't have to be painters, sculptors, or illustrators. They can be fashion designers, architects, video game designers, work in advertising or the performing arts among many, many other careers. We discussed the importance of Art class whether or not you decide to be an "artist" because developing and using the "right"side of our brains makes us better at problem solving, critical thinking and well rounded and creative thinkers.
Students were then introduced to John James Audubon, a painter and orinthologist. We discussed how his work was not only beautiful, but was important to the scientific community as well.
We used reference pictures of birds to create basic line drawings and identify the contours.
Next class, we will be adding foliage to the background area.
