-  mia Gallery: Drawing Parallels: Basquiat & Lam, Bold Truth
Entries due on Wednesday, February 22, 2023

Art has always had an impact when it challenged current social views. Jean-Michel Basquiat and Wilfredo Lam were the mavericks of their day, challenging the current norms and ideas. A closer look at both draws close comparison in their intent to tell a story with similarities in their use of the elements of art and design. Basquiat’s use of line, color and shape, while often called “primitive” was used to describe truths about society’s hate and discrimination. In comparison, Lam used line and shape to define and tell his story of his people in Cuba. Both artists were the forerunners in the use of text within their artwork understanding the powerful voice it added to their artwork. Basquiat often used English, Spanish and Haitian Creole in his artwork. Basquiat and Lam were both known for conveying powerful messages through their artwork and their messages live on through their art today. 

This 2-D exhibition asks students to reflect on the current social and cultural norms and to develop their own story incorporating text into their compositions. This 2-D only exhibition invites students to explore the world of illustration and book writing from “cover to cover.” Open to grades K-12 2D and low relief Artwork ONLY Artwork should be no larger than 18” x 24” matted.

PAW-fect Pawtraits!

Entries due on Wednesday, March 15, 2023

Artists such as Albert Dürer, Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, Frida Kahlo, Carel Fabritius, Diego Velázquez, and Henri Rousseau are but a few of the artists throughout history who have focused on animals as their primary subject matter for portraits.  They have portrayed creatures with almost human like qualities by attempting to draw similarities between human beings and the animal kingdom. Their animal portraits range in depictions that convey everything from humorous subject matter, to realistic, and at times, somber portrayals. 

This 2-D exhibition highly encourages students to make a departure from their traditional ideas surrounding the traditional portrait to experiment and create new inventive artworks.     This 2-D only exhibition challenges students to think and reinvent new aesthetics in their art as it relates to the contemporary portrait.   Open to grades K-12 2D Artwork only accepted Artwork should be no larger than 18” x 24” matted.

ART Authentic Assessments

mia Gallery: Going Gaga for Dada:

Art Rebels!

Exhibition Description/Submission Details

The idea of the conceptual DADA movement, which arose in Zurich, Switzerland, arose as a reaction to World War 1 and nationalism that led to the war. It was influenced by Cubists, Futurists, Constructivists, and Expressionists of the day. It was a crazy period that ranged in art from the performing arts to the visual arts. Encompassing painting, collages, reliefs, photography, and sculpture, it sought to make fun of the elites and impressed upon itself the idea of questioning the roles of society, artists, and the purpose of art. Hans Arp incorporated chance in his creations, never planning his work. Kurt Schwitters assemblages combined 2 and 3 dimensional aspects to his work. Max Ernst used photomontage and based his images on random association of juxtaposed images. This 2-D only exhibition allows students the opportunity to explore and experiment with conceptual art ideas and stretch the boundaries of social questions and purpose. 

● Open to grades K-12 

● 2D and low relief Artwork ONLY 

● Artwork should be submitted electronically as a JPEG image (no larger than 3.32 MB) through the M-DCPS Authentic Assessment On-line Submission Platform 

● Artwork not representing the theme will not be considered for adjudication.

Due Date: Tuesday September 28, 2021

1st Lesson - How to draw people realistically

Thank you to those of you who gave me back your forms on time! It is a sign that you are indeed committed to learn and grow as an artist.  I will give you your art club membership cards the next time I see you.

As I went through your forms I noticed that many of you expressed interest in drawing realistically.  So I placed following a video that you can follow step by step dealing with the basics of drawing a female face.  You will need to take your time and watch and pause the video as many times as you need to follow the instructions.

Once you have practiced enough, bring me your sketches so we can discuss your process. Enjoy!




2nd Lesson - Figure Drawing


This lesson is centered around learning how to draw the human body in general.  In art it is called figure drawing.

Please go over the many phases of drawing the human body using the following link.  Practice drawing the examples.  When you have done all of the exercises bring them over to your next art class for discussion.

The Art Appreciation component of the AEP program provides an in-depth understanding of art as the process through which a hands-on experience and critiquing methods are applied.  Through this application process, students view master works of art, those created by their classmates, and their own original works of art. 

The program is scheduled to take place every Tuesdays (group A) or every Thursday (group B) from 3:30pm to 4:30pm until April 2016.
