Digital Arts Program Outline:
http://www.basearts.com/artquest/DigitalArtsOutline.htm

Digital Arts offers a strong foundation in the visual language of art while focusing on computer skills, various painting/drawing/image manipulation software programs, color, composition, 2-D and 3-D animation. Explorations in lighting, viewpoint, texture, surfaces, modeling and symbolism are all used as ways to create powerful and meaningful works of art, as students are challenged to build on technical skills and to explore personal artistic possibilities.  Sketchbook/Journal entries and participation in personal and group critiques, field trips to local art exhibitions are all requirements.  Students work independently as well as within small groups, practicing the creative problem-solving skills and collaboration needed in the professional world of one of the fastest growing fields in the arts and computer industry.  Risk-taking, discipline, dedication to excellence and high-level achievement are all key elements in the Digital Arts Specialty.

Welcome and Welcome back! to ArtQuest Digital Arts and the 2015-16 School Year!

Dear Parents and Students, 
I’m John Sappington and will be the Digital Arts instructor for the 2015-16 school year.

Biography :
 I am a working artist, photographer and educator working primarily in digital photography and digital media. I graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the Kansas City Art Institute and an Masters of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute - both in photography. I have taught Digital Photography, Digital Audio, Video, Graphic Design and Authoring around the Bay Area for the past 15 years. In addition to ArtQuest Digital Arts, I am currently teaching Analogue and Digital Photography at the Santa Rosa Junior College where I’ve taught since since 2003.


My credentials are available at the URLs listed below.

AQ Theme 2015-16 – “ Its not about the Destination, its about the Journey”
AQ began two decades ago with 60 students and just two Arts Specialties - Visual Fine Arts and Multimedia (now divided into Digital Arts and Video Arts) but now has about 600 students and eight different Arts Specialties, four in Visual and four in the Performing Arts. As a cohesive programmatic theme this year we will work with a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, Life is a Journey and not a Destination. Our particular variation will be, “About the Journey”. AQ uses a theme each year to connect the various arts and core-related classes and to create an overarching artistic dialogue throughout the program about various topics and ideas, some relevant to a particular time or context, some focused on a specific performing or visual art work, some humorously thoughtful about the human condition, and some a serious investigation of political or social issues. Interpreted in a wide array by teachers and students, and the projects, events, other activities and outcomes generated have been delightfully surprising. Past AQ themes have been: The Other (94-95), The Coexistence of Order & Chaos (95-96), No Theme ? (aka It’s a Mystery!) (96-97), What is Real? Is it Real? (97-98), The War Requiem Project (98-99), The Passage (99-00), World with a View (Bring a Map) (00-01), Child of Our Time (01-02), Revision (02-03), Collective Invention (03-04), Beauty and the Beast (04-05), Atticus (05-06), Patriot Acts (06-07), Where the Wild Things Are (07-08), PROject eARTh (08-09), Rebel With a Cause (09-10), And Now for Something Completely Different! (10-11), We’re Not in Kansas Anymore (11-12), Renaissance (12-13), Toward a More Perfect Union (13-14), and of course, this year is ArtQuest@20 (14-15).  

LAB CONTRIBUTIONS

As a public school, we are not allowed to require any type of lab fee, but as a materials based program, student lab contributions offset part of the expense for the ArtQuest Digital Arts classes. The lab contributions are for the FULL year, which allows us to do the time-consuming bookkeeping only once, to purchase supplies in bulk and plan our curriculum and materials in advance.  We are a projects based program and access to resources generally not available in high school art programs is one of the things that makes ArtQuest unique, gives the message to our students that we truly value their work and provides them with high enough quality materials to support their efforts and to encourage success. While we are sure that everyone is aware of the state of the economy right now, it is always surprising that education gets hit as hard as it does every time there are budget issues. It is of less surprise that the arts get hit hardest. While we recognize the benefits of arts in education, we are the minority. Lab contributions are particularly important now because ArtQuest has taken significant budget cuts over the past few years. We do continue to seek out a variety of sources of funding, including new grants, community and business support and donations. Major field trips usually involve an additional fee, based on the actual costs of admission and transportation.  

Please consider contributing to your student’s lab costs. We would appreciate it no later than Monday August 31th, given directly to your student’s teacher.  Cash or Checks accepted (Checks should be made out to: “ArtQuest at Santa Rosa High School”). 

 
If you have financial need for a full or partial scholarship, payment plan or a time extension, parents/guardians should contact their student’s teacher directly as soon as possible, or before August 31, to make arrangements at 528-5070(Voice Mail Box Extensions: Jonn Sappington extension 6773).  

All Levels (Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced) - $125.00 per student for the FULL year. Each student will receive a sketchbook, flash drive, digital printing materials and drawing materials. Other supplies will be made available to students depending on individual class projects.  Students will also need to purchase some of their own supplies and find a book bag or backpack to keep their supplies in; they will need them everyday in class. Additional detailed information and additional materials requirements may be forthcoming in individual Class Project Packets as necessary. 

WALKING FIELD TRIP PERMISSION FORMS 

Please sign and return the attached Walking Field Trip Permission Form to us no later than Friday August 28th.  While some of you may recall signing a similar form, we request that you sign again and return the form for our classroom records.  Remember that this form is only for walking field trips; any that involve transportation will have their own, trip-specific permission required.   

“FRIENDS OF ARTQUEST” A nonprofit organization of parents, community members and teachers dedicated to supporting the ArtQuest program and the arts in education, Friends of ArtQuest is actively involved in fundraising, helping with all ArtQuest events, exhibits and performances, doing publicity and public relations, chaperoning field trips, and doing a myriad of things that support and advance the program.  Please support your student by becoming a member of this important, effective organization.  The first parent meeting will be on Monday August 24th at 6:00 pm in Room 21, the Arts Office.  For more information please contact the “Friends of ArtQuest Hotline” at (707) 528-5070, x 6787. 

ESCRIP
We cannot emphasize the value of this program enough! One of the easiest ways “Friends of ArtQuest” raises funds for ArtQuest is through the “eScrip” program.  This is a painless (and free to you) way to contribute directly to your student’s specialty; eScrip donates a percent of your purchases at participating merchants, which is then routed to the ArtQuest Digital Arts Specialty, 
if you specify it.There is no sign-up fee and we ask you to PLEASE go online to their website and fill out the form. It is possible to divide your eScrip contribution if you have children in multiple specialties. Also, if you have friends or relatives who would like to support your student’s participation in the ArtQuest program, please have them sign up, too!  They are a safe and secure site, and if you have signed up before, you need to update your account annually, so go to http://www.escrip.com/ to sign up and support Friends of ArtQuest and the Digital Arts program! Again, Important ALERT!  Even if you have registered in the past we need a new form each year as merchants often change policies and require updated registration.  Safeway requires an annual reenrollment.  

IMPORTANT FALL DATES: 

Please mark your calendar for these important dates: Friday August 28 : AQDA forms & Lab Contributions are due. Please contact teacher for scholarship information or extensions. 

September 24th 6:30-9 - Back to School Night

October 8, 6:30 pm: “ArtQuest Annual Fall Showcase of Programs”, beginning at 6:30 pm in the Auditorium.  This is an evening for prospective students and families for Fall, 2014, to find out more about the opportunities ArtQuest has to offer, as well as current ArtQuest families to learn more about the program.  Please plan to attend and also help us spread the word, because early application is highly recommended due to limited space. 

Tuesday October 13th to November 13th , “Shadowing”,
ArtQuest offers students interested in the ArtQuest program the opportunity to "Shadow" a specialty for a day. Students may attend on either.. Call (707) 535-4842 for more information and to schedule your student. Monday through Thursday 8-12:16. 

Parents, I look forward to meeting you all and thank you for your support of your student and the arts in education. Students, I am honored and excited to be working with you as you embark on your careers in the arts. I anticipate a very creative and productive year.

Pangram

Texts used to demonstrate typefaces in a sentence that uses all the letters of the alphabet (a pangram), such as "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
Often used as a design aesthetic tool to demonstrate the personality of a typeface's characters in a setting (because it displays all the letters of the alphabet).

Lao-Tse

Thirty spokes unite at the single hub;
It is the empty space which makes the wheel useful.
Mold clay to form a bowl;
It is the empty space which makes the bowl useful.
Cut out windows and doors;
It is the empty space which makes the room useful.

Cindy Sherman-

William Erwin "Will" Eisner (March 6, 1917 – January 3, 2005) was an American cartoonist, writer, and entrepreneur. He was one of the earliest cartoonists to work in the American comic book industry, and his series The Spirit (1940–1952) was noted for its experiments in content and form. In 1978, he popularized the term "graphic novel" with the publication of his book A Contract with God. He was an early contributor to formal comics studies with his book Comics and Sequential Art (1985). The Eisner Award was named in Eisner's honor, and is given to recognize achievements each year in the comics medium; he was one of the three inaugural inductees to the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.

Tricks to Animating Characters with a Computer - John Lasseter
https://www.siggraph.org/education/materials/HyperGraph/animation/character_animation/principles/lasseter_s94.htm


A STORY TRICK - John Lasseter

In storytelling, the timing of ideas and actions is important to the audience’s understanding of the story at any point in time. It is important that the animation be timed to stay either slightly ahead of the audience’s understanding of what’s going on with the story, or slightly behind. It makes the story much more interesting than staying even with the audience. If the animation is too far ahead, the audience will be confused; if the animation is too far behind, the audience, will get bored; in either case, their attention will wander. Action timed to be slightly ahead of the audience adds an element of suspense and surprise; it keeps them guessing about what will happen next. An example of this is at the beginning of Luxo Jr. Dad is on-screen, alone and still; the audience believes they are looking at a plain inanimate lamp. Unexpectedly, a ball comes rolling in from off-screen. At this point, both Dad and the audience are confused. The audience’s interest is in what is to come next. When the action is timed to be slightly behind the audience, a story point is revealed to the audience before it is known to the character. The entertainment comes in seeing the character discover what the audience already knows. Another application of this is with a dim-witted character who is always behind; the audience figures it out before he does. Many of these tricks can be used in concert in any given scene in order to achieve the strongest impact on an audience. At the end of the dream sequence in Red’s Dream, Red juggles three balls and catches them with a big finish; the crowd explodes into wild applause, and Red takes his bows. Slowly the circus ring dissolves to the interior of the bike shop, the sound of the applause fades into the sound of rain, and Red, unaware, continues to take his bows. At this point, the audiences has not caught on to what is happening because the timing of the action is slightly ahead of the audience. As the room appears, so does the large”50% OFF” tag hanging from Red’s seat. The animation of the tag is timed to be light in weight; it flops around more actively than anything else in the scene. This contrast of action directs the audience’s attention to the tag which is a subtle reminder that Red is still in the bike shop. The audience is now ahead of the character and watches Red discover where he really is. Red’s actions were timed to be slow, accentuating his sad emotion. Timing made the story points clear, the emotion stronger, and the character’s actions were a result of his thought process; thus, the scene has a strong impact on the audience.

Jordan D. Schnitzer, whose collection provided the 90 works in the new museum's opening exhibit, talked with Charles Sepos this week on KRCB's Curtain Call. In these abridged remarks, he focused on one of the iconic pieces to be displayed, Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup print, and its cultural and political significance.

The Doyle Collection

Santa Rosa Junior College is known for its outstanding art department. Much pride is taken in the quality of instruction and the breadth of courses offered. The full-time faculty, complemented by an array of adjunct instructors, brings a diversity of skills that find expression both inside and outside of the classroom. Our staff has exhibited its collective work throughout the world. Their collaboration with our students enriches the entire campus community.

The Doyle Library is home to a permanent collection of art works by faculty and staff members past and present. The interior of this building--built with funds provided by the residents of Sonoma County, via a bond measure--is well suited for exhibiting art, paintings in particular. The abundance of natural light, the large expanses of wall space and the over-all design give opportunity to showcase the various talents of those who teach, create and have contributed to SRJC in various ways. What follows is a list of the works housed in Doyle Library, including their titles, media employed, artists' names and the years the artists have served SRJC. (To view Doyle Collection artists discussing their work, go to Art Talk.)
