WELCOME to Talented Art! 

 

 

Week at a Glance: 

 

 

Talented Art -  Wossman High School - Have a wonderful and restful Fall Break! 

 

When we return we will begin our Umbrella design where students will design their own to take home. The Juniors and Seniors will be creating their own Independent Research Area. This involves coming up with a plan of study: Materials, Subject Matter, Style, Color, etc. For them to create a body of work. That can be used for Exhbitions. 

 

Media Arts - 7th Period - Have a wondeful and restful Fall Break!!

 

When we return we will be focusing on color manipulation along with understanding more of the basic tools in Adobe Photoshop. We will look at the Pop Artist Andy Warhol as a reference for a project about Color. 

 

 

 

The goal in all of my schools is to focus on the Basic Prinicples of Design: Symmetry, Emphasis, Rhythm, Contrast, and Pattern.

 

   Through an understanding of these practices students will realize their artistic potential which will improve their quality of life at the school they are attending. 

 

 

 

 

About Mr. Knopps: 

 

Since graduating from Louisiana Tech in 2014 I have had the pleasure of teaching for Monroe City Schools for 12 years. This will be my seventh year teaching Talented Art at Wossman High and my 1st Year of Media Arts.

Individualism: As an Art Teacher I believe in embracing your individual style. No two people create the same way. We are unique individuals with our own likes and dislikes. Lets find those qualities in ourselves, and use them to make amazing artwork.

Success and Mistakes: Mistakes are a part of the learning process as an artist, and I want us to embrace these moments on our way to success. We must be able to make mistakes as artists in order to grow. 

Learning as a Group: With everything I can teach, the community of the classroom is a blessing. We learn so much from each other. I know this year will be different with virtual learning but please continue to communicate with your classmates. 

See you soon!!
