Blog Assignment 12/6-12/10
Read the link regarding visual artist, Jackson Pollock, and the new product designed to help kids emulate his work, “Ready, Aim, Fire”. “If It’s So Easy, Why Don’t You Try It?”
Answer the following questions:
1. If someone were to ask you to describe your process for creation, how would you describe it?
2. What specific skills within your strand have you acquired that make you a master of your art? Even if you have only learned a few tricks, you all have the skills in some aspect of your art to consider yourself a master!
3. Many considered Pollock’s work to be easy to execute because “anyone can fling paint around”. What artist’s work do you feel looks seamless and effortless? Why?

Blog Assignment #12: 11/29-12/3
Please read the story below and answer the following questions:
1. What is Picasso saying?
2. How does our society value art?
3. Give a parallel example to Picasso's story (ex: if someone asked a doctor to quickly give them stitches at a picnic and is surprised that the doctor's bill is $300.)
The Picasso Principle
The famous Pablo Picasso was at a party. A woman recognized him and approached the Master. She asked, “Will you create a sketch for me?”
Picasso agreed, and, as he pulled out his sketchpad, asked her for a subject.
“A bird in a tree will do,” she responded.
So Picasso spent about a five minutes doing what Picasso does on the sketchpad. Finished, he ripped the sketch off the pad, handed it to the woman and said, “That will be $10,000.”
The woman was floored. “Ten thousand dollars! Why, it only took you five minutes to draw that sketch!”
To which, Picasso replied, “No, madam. That sketch took me thirty years.”
