THE SNOWMAN

"I remember that winter because it had brought the heaviest snows I had ever seen. Snow had fallen steadily all night long and in the morning I woke in a room filled with light and silence, the whole world seemed to be held in a dream-like stillness. It was a magical day... and it was on that day I made the Snowman."

GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!!!

Lets use the PLATONIC SOLIDS to create our Christmas Decorations! Click HERE.

What is a Platonic Solid?
A Platonic solid is a polyhedron all of whose faces are congruent regular
convex polygons*, and where the same number of faces meet at every vertex.
The Greeks recognized that there are only five platonic solids.

Why is this so?

Check this web for paper models of POLIEDRA   like this one:

We can also create compounds like this one:

DIGITAL AND ROBOTIC ART

Digital art is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as an essential part of the creative or presentation process. Since the 1970s, various names have been used to describe the process, including computer art and multimedia art. Digital art is itself placed under the larger umbrella term new media art.

Robotic art is any artwork that employs some form of robotic or automated technology. There are many branches of robotic art, one of which is robotic installation art, a type of installation art that is programmed to respond to viewer interactions, by means of computers, sensors and actuators.

This is Honda's Asimo ("Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility") Fascinating. 

And this is what happens when designers meet scientists:

PLASTER MASKS

HOW TO MAKE PLASTER MASKS

 (From http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Plaster-Mask)

1

Prepare your work area. Choose a room where you have a lot of space to spread out, since working with plaster can get messy. Lay newspapers or a drop cloth on the floor. Have paper towels handy in case a stray drip lands outside the covered area.

2

Prepare your supplies. Cut bandage plaster into strips. You will need enough strips to make three layers of plaster over the face.

• The strips should be about 2-3 inches wide by 3 inches (5-7.5 cm x 7.5 cm) long.
• Make some strips longer, shorter, wider or thinner. You'll need strips to cover all areas of the face.
• Place the strips in a bowl. Set out a second bowl filled with warm water that you will use to wet the strips.

3

Prepare your subject. The person whose face you are using to mold the mask should wear clothing that he or she doesn't mind getting wet with drips of plaster.

• Decide how much of the subject's face you plan to cover. It's best to have a conversation with your subject about his or her comfort level. If you wish to cover the entire face, make sure the nostril area is left clear so that the subject can breathe freely.
• The process is easiest if the subject lies on the floor, but if he or she prefers to sit in a chair, wrap towels around his or her neck and shoulders.
• Ask your subject to tie back his or her hair, and to pin bangs away from the face.

LAST STEP:  time to decorate your masks, and next week we will admire in class your creative works of art. Here is an example from past years students:

  

 

ACTION PAINTING

For the INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE we could experiment with a technique called DRIPPING, also known as ACTION PAINTING. But we will probably leave this technique for June 2019, when we will know for definite the wall that we can use. This picture was the project done last year 2018 in another school.

But... WHAT is it? and...  WHO was JACKSON POLLOCK? Well, let's have a look...
