Every week there will be a new piece of art by a different artist that must be “evaluated” by each student.
Directions may differ from week to week, so please read the directions every week!
Each art evaluation will be due every Friday unless otherwise instructed.
Please complete your art eval on IN ILLUSTRATOR and submit as a .jpg image. Now that we know how to use the program, you will use your knowledge to create an interesting background for your eval. You can add in different textures, shapes, colors to create an all around appealing document.
“Morag’s mantra is ‘make happy those who are near and those who are far will come’. Born and Bred, Holloway, London, Morag has always lived in the city and has been fascinated by how colour pattern and words can change urban environments and peoples perceptions of spaces into places.
From schools and hospitals to cultural hubs and town centres Morag transforms public spaces by creating engaging experiences for everyone.
Her strong visual approach is instantly recognisable and elevates every context in which it is placed. Her work is rooted in creating a sense of joy and belonging for all those who encounter it. Morag creates specific local responses to each distinct audience that will see and experience the work, using it to create community and build identity.
She often works with community groups to develop ideas that reflect the identity of the users, drawing on shared cultural history and heritage of the local area. Morag’s visual vocabulary by nature and its effortless energy, resonates both visually and emotionally with audiences well beyond geographical and cultural boundaries.”
Watch THIS VIDEO to hear Morag talk about her work and what drives her as an artist.
