PARODY
ANALOGIZE
HYBRIDIZE
METAMORPHOSE
MYTHOLOGIZE

After reviewing the work you will determine which of your sketches has the most potential to be developed into a final artwork. You will need to have your selection made at the start of class. Be on time, be prepared, and be smart about your choice. you are going to take your chosen sketch and refine it into a finished drawing.

The task is a 6x9 pencil drawing based on the example of Art Synectics that you chose from your SKETCHBOOK. This work will require you to examine your sketch and develop a large final drawing based on the specific Art Synectic trigger represented. For your reference before beginning this drawing you will need to understand the following expectations:

• Your drawing must clearly show the original image altered to highlight the Art Synectic trigger.

• Your drawing must fill the entire picture plane.

• Your drawing must be well crafted and free from unsightly errors

• Your drawing must show evidence of original thought and risk taking

LESSON FOR THE DAY:

Today we resolve all of the learning accomplished during this unit of study with a critique. This lesson will finish with our first full group discussion of the works produced. We will touch on many topics from developing ideas, to craftsmanship, to risk taking.

Since this is a full group critique we will need to first prepare ourselves by organizing all of the information that we could possibly discuss. You will need to be prepared to answer any or all of the following questions in class. You will write some answers and you may be called upon to speak out loud on any of these topics as well. Review the following items carefully:

You will have the first 15 minutes of class to refine your work and complete your self evaluation should you need it.

Remember to come prepared for class with a sharpened pencil.
