2014 Museum Showcase
A few weeks ago I received the information from the Los Gatos Museums for the show they will be having in 2014 that is open to any high school student in Santa Clara County.
Yes, this is the show that used to be the annual Los Gatos High School Art Show, which has morphed to be a juried show over the years.
I will include all of the necessary information here, but if you want to go straight to their website, you can find it here.
The Art 4 students know that this is a required assignment.
I think it will be for the Art 2 students as well, but haven't fully fleshed out how it will work yet. It won't be dealt with until second semester so I'm not that concerned.
If you are in Art 3 and want to make a killer piece for this show, I can safely say that it would be worth some extra credit for you.
Keep in mind a couple of things, such as:
Aside from the assigned (or not assigned) class piece, you can always do more. I believe you can submit up to 3 pieces per student, but again, I would direct you to the above image and/or the above link.
I will help you, but much of it will need to be done on your own outside of class.
I will also say that I strongly encourage you to make art for this. It is a good experience on many levels, it looks good on your transcript if you need it to, and it is just fun to make art and to showcase your abilities.

Keep in mind a couple of things, such as:
- there is a due date for you to submit a pic of your piece in Feb. (the 14th I think)
- if the piece is accepted it has to be ready to hang
- if this is a canvas you work on, I have plenty of wire to put on the back
- if it is a work on paper, I haev 11x14 and 16x20 frames that might work for you, so standard sizes of paper will help - keeping me in the loop and talking with me will benefit you

Art 2 + Update (the ec is for all adv art students)
Yeah, I know, the end of the semester is approaching way faster than any of us would like.
Well, I want another break, but I feel the pressure of finishing the semester strong and continuing to get a lot of stuff done.
So here is what you, Art 2's, need to know for the remainder of the semester.
First, keep checking the calendar to keep up with the due dates.
We will work on our advertising project for a few class periods, and you have until Tuesday, Dec. 10th to finish it. That is 4.5 hours of class time - give or take.
You must:
Extra Credit for this semester will be due before you leave class on Monday, 12/16.
You have two options for this extra credit.
I will say this though: they need to be awesome. For real.
If I am giving you extra credit I expect you to really go above and beyond. Wow me. Turning in your average pencil line drawing isn't going to cut it. If you turn something in I will give you extra credit, but I will give you more extra credit the more fantastic it is.
Also know that you may get class time to work on this, but don't count on it. We still have other things to cover that are not yet on the calendar so you will probably need to count on doing the extra credit outside of class.

You must:
- make it visually appealing
- include hand-drawn typography
- encourage students to take art - or at the very least, pique their interest
- use different parts of ads/ad styles from your assigned decade for inspiration
- have thumbnail sketches in your sketchbook
- print out some inspirational pieces and tape them into your sketchbook
Extra Credit for this semester will be due before you leave class on Monday, 12/16.
You have two options for this extra credit.
- take a study drawing you have completed this semester and have a do-over;
- meaning, think about what didn't work; how can you make it better; was it the idea you liked, but the execution suffered; was it just straight up rushed; etc.
- you must include the original study drawing as well as the new one, side by side
- take one of the ideas from the back of your study drawing sheet (section 5) that we haven't gotten to yet, do one of those topics.
I will say this though: they need to be awesome. For real.
