Last Friday, Fox 5 aired an interview with 4 AP art students who created artwork that featured this year's inductees to the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame.  I am so proud of them!!  

Click on the above link to watch the Art 21 segment on Susan Rothenberg.  Follow the directions on the handout in class to create a sketchbook response to the artist.  You may use the colored pencils or watercolors on your sketchbook page.  Be sure to take a picture to post on the "other" page on your blog and turn in the sketchbook page to the sub.  

Kell is looking for some artwork to be featured in this year's Baccalaureate program.  If you have some stellar artwork from previous years, this year, or one you create especially for this, please let me know ASAP!  All entries are due to me by February 1st!!

 (Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, Clayton, Gwinnett and Henry Counties) who will pursue further studies in the visual arts, to enter the Twelfth Annual GWS Scholarship Exhibition. 

Awards anticipated will total $2400 (gift certificates and cash awards).  Thanks to Binders Art Supplies and Frames for hosting this exhibit and for their generous donations.

GWS must receive your entries by March 1, 2019.
                                                     
All entries must be original (created by the student from personal photos or imagination) water media/watercolor (watercolor, inks, watercolor pencil, fluid acrylics) on paper or watercolor canvas, yupo, or clayboard, no larger than 22” by 30” image size.  No copies (calendar, magazine art) will be accepted.  Watercolor collage will be accepted if the collage has been painted by the artist.  Pen and Ink and watercolor will also be accepted.  Work accepted must be properly framed or matted and put in plastic sleeves (www.clearbags.com). Watercolor canvas does not have to be framed under glass.  Using a wire is better than sawtooth hanger on the back of the frame.

The High is proud to present the most comprehensive exhibition by Yayoi Kusama (Japanese, born 1929)—one of the twentieth century’s most influential artists—to tour North America in over twenty years.

Organized by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, this show will take visitors on an expansive journey across six decades of Kusama’s creative output and will explore the development of the artist’s Infinity Mirror Rooms, her iconic, kaleidoscopic environments. The exhibition will present six of these rooms as well as sculptures, paintings, works on paper, film excerpts, archival ephemera, and additional large-scale installations that span the early 1950s to the present day. Also on view will be numerous new works by the 89-year-old artist, who remains active in her Tokyo studio.

Anyone who finishes art projects early will get an opportunity to work on a bonus assignment using a cray pen!  They are so much fun, check out the video below for more information.
