If you are in one of my classes you will be required to learn about an artist in the community this semester, so take advantage of the Open Studios this weekend. When you visit the studios bring your sketchbook and ask the artist how they got started, if and where they studied art formally. View their work, write about their art using art vocabulary in your own voice. Use the Four Steps of Critique to do a more formal analysis of one of their works of art. The most beneficial part of this experience will be talking to the artist. If you cannot make any of the open studios this weekend start doing some research on artists in the community to see which ones you would be interested in visiting.
