  1. ARTIST GROUPS Using synergy to improve your art! (2 + 2 = a lot more than 4!)

  2. Artists have often worked together in groups: • Vincent Van Gogh shared a studio for awhile with Paul Gauguin. Even though they fought a lot, they produced some of their best works while working together.

  3. In Germany, the Blue Rider Group changed the direction of art for many years.

  4. In England, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood worked together to re-new an interest in a more traditional art.

  5. In America, the Hudson River School artists gloried the unique American landscape.

  6. The point is: artists are often better together! • Artist groups share ideas and philosophies. • They encourage each other. • They see with a “fresh eye”. • They can give positive suggestions. • They help each other succeed. • And, it’s more fun than working alone! “Employers want employees who are team players. No one can achieve ‘greatness’ in an organization completely alone, and remarkable employees know this to be true.” American Job Exchange

  7. This year I would like everyone to be part of an “artist group.” Some Very Good Practical Reasons for Artist Groups: • They can share the work load. • They can help catch you up if you are absent. • They can help you understand when you “don’t get it!” • They can give you ideas when you can’t think of anything. • They can give you encouragement when you get frustrated. • It gives you a chance to “be the teacher” which is the best way to learn.

  8. What is an “Artist Group?” What It Is! What it is NOT! Non-competitive. Everyone contributes to the group. A place to help the members of your group be the best artists they can be. A way to get out of work. A place to complain about each assignment. A social group. A competitive sport.

  9. RULES FOR ARTIST GROUPS: • NO competitions with in groups or with other groups. • You may NOT give suggestions unless a person asks for a suggestion. • Contribute more than you “take” from the group (do more than your share). • All members share equal benefits and responsibilities. • Listen respectfully to the opinions of everyone in the group, even if you disagree. • Watch out for and help ALL the members of your group. • GOAL: Help everyone in your group be the best artist and art student they can be.

  10. How it all works: • Write down on a paper 2 or 3 people in your class that you would be the most comfortable working with. • Ms. Shuler will put you into an artist group and will try to put you with at least 1 friend and others that might have different strength and weakness from yourself. • According to your seat in the group you will be either SE, SW, NW or NE. • Jobs will be given to each seat and will be changed periodically (if absent the next person clockwise fills in). • If a student is absent it is the job of the next person (clockwise) to take notes, get hand-outs, etc. for the absent person. • Often discussions, activities and some assignments will be done as a group – so get to know each other well. • Individuals should ask help from their group before going to the teacher.

  11. We are better together – let’s make this work! “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” Henry Ford
