Day 3: Chaos With a Plan

Today We Will:

Explore Abstract Art: Learn what it is and why it matters
- Document an Abstract Artist: Add one to your digital portfolio with a brief reflection
- View Student Examples: See how others approached abstraction
Start with a Twist: Push your experimentation further and mix things up!
Work Time: Continue developing your abstract piece
Individual Conversations: I’ll meet with each of you to discuss your unique direction and ideas

First thing today!

Check that you are keeping your Digital Portfolio up-to-date...

Did you:

Insert text boxes into your P1: Abstract Art Page with Sections 1-6 from the Digital Submissions Requirements?
Copy this project's inquiry statement under Section 1: Inquiry and Concept Exploration found on the project title page?
Drop your progress photo(s) under Section 4: Create from Day 1 and Day 2?
TODAY WE WILL add to Section 2: Connections

Reminder: Here is a link to our mock student example of an in-progress digital portfolio for P1: Abstract Art
