Week 21

Thursday-7th Grade Standard 3.  Invent and Discover to Create

B.  Demonstrate and apply perceptual skills to create works or art

Objective:  Students will use the work of Erik Jones as inspiration when creating shapes.

Warmup 
"As each work is dissected, each referential gesture is revealed, it becomes clear there is no simple translation of Dixon's chosen symbology.  Stepping back to observe Dixon's work-irreverently swathed in a palette of pink, yellow, green and blue-observers are confronted with a banal economy of iconography.  Instead, each work contains a hollow cache of individual meaning, the gesture of replication rather than what is depicted on the canvas becomes Dixon's subject matter.  Whether a Greeco-Roman scene of erotic pampering or a ship bereft of time and place.  Dixon's characters are stripped of their original iconography, having been slowly distilled through the centuries, until only a singular message now remains: luxury."

Directions:  Review the work of Andy Dixon.  On a piece of scratch paper, make a list of 10 things that you see in the artwork.  When you complete your list, circle the word of the item that you think is the most interesting.  Spend three minutes creating a thumbnail sketch of that object.  This will be your ticket out.
