Color Theory Paintings

Grading:

            Part I      •Each Viewfinder Image is worth 5pts.

Part II     •Each Value Guide is worth 5pts.

                                • Points will be deducted for unfinished guides.

                                • Points will be deducted for extremely uneven steps.

Part III   •Each Painting is worth 20pts.

                                • Points will be deducted for missing values.

 

Parameters:

Part I      • Using a viewfinder, make three different 5” x 5” drawings.

• Emphasis should be placed on composition.

• Viewfinder images need to contain all seven elements of art.

• Viewfinder images do not need to be in color, but must have values.

            Part II     • Paint a 15 step value guide for each color you will use.

                                                • Value guides are made on a 12” x 18” piece of white paper.

                                                • All 5 guides can fit on one sheet.

                                                • Guides are each 1.5”h x 15”w.

                                                • Center the guides on the 12” x 18” paper.

Part III     •Three Paintings.

• Pick your favorite viewfinder image and expand it onto three 11” x 11” papers.

• All three images will be the same, but each image will display a different color scheme.

                 • One painting must be in Black and White.

                 • One painting must be Monochromatic.

                 • You can pick the color scheme for the final painting from the list below:

                                • Analogous

                                • Complementary

                                • Warm

                                • Cool

                                • Discord

• All three paintings must display the appropriate color scheme with values ranging from black to white.

 

Due Date:

Part I           • Friday September 24, at the beginning of class.

Part II          •Friday October 1, 2010.

Part III         •Monday October 11, 2010.

 

Purpose:

After completing this project, students will have three dynamic pieces to add to their professional portfolios. These pieces will display a knowledge of color theory, ability to create value systems in a variety of schemes, and the ability to decipher values within different chromatic ranges.

SD Fine Art Standards:

1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.2, 3.3
 
 
 

Paper Towers

Grading:

To earn an A, towers must be at least 18 inches tall and contain a minimum of 5 linoleum blocks.
 

Parameters:

• The tower must be built on one of the provided platforms, and be transported to the extra table at the end of every class period. You may now create your tower at the display table, but be sure there is enough room that your peers will not damage yours when working on their own.
• The tower cannot be built at the extra table, it must be created at one of the work tables.
• The tower must be standing on the due date. A digital image of standing structure must be submitted for credit.
• Students must provide an accurate tally of the number of 3"x3" paper squares used.
• Students may not use anything to build their towers except for their hands and the 3"x3" paper squares provided.
• Students may bend, roll, tear, shred, or contort the 3"x3" paper squares in any manner desired.
• Unused squares that have been damaged must be included in the final tally for the tower.
• Workspaces left unclean at the end of the period will result in a lower grade for the offending group(s).
• Intentional destruction of another group's tower will result in a grade of zero for the offender(s).
 

Purpose:

The main purpose of this project is to promote criticial thinking, and help students engage the right side of their brains. Using new materials in a new way is conducive to "thinking outside of the box," an invaluable ability for art students.
Additionally, the project promotes collaboration, discussion, planning, theorizing, and ingenuity. Students are encouraged to work in groups of two to develop ideas and plans to best construct the towers.
 

SD Fine Art Standards:

4.1, 4.2, 4.3
 
 
 
 

Collage

Grading:

         Part I      •Each paragraph which is expected to consist of at least six grammatically correct sentences will be worth six points.

Part II     •The finished collage will be worth 50 points.

 

Parameters:

Part I      •Find 5 collages online that have already been made.

• In at least one paragraph, describe what you like about the collages and why.

• In at least one paragraph, describe the materials used by the artists you picked and also describe the materials you would like to use in your own collage and why you want to use them.

Part II     •Create a collage.

• The size of your collage must be no less than 24”h x 36”w or 864 square inches.

• Fill out the form located here before working on your collage.

• Although printed paper is acceptable, your collage must also contain at least two other materials.

 

Due Date:

Part I      •September 7 at the beginning of class.

Part II     •Friday September 17, 2010.
 

Purpose:

This project has been designed to promote critical thinking in regard to materials, color, and composition as intricate elements to an artwork as a whole. Additionally, the project will allow students to find associations between common objects/materials and their artistic value. 

SD Fine Art Standards:

1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.2, 3.3
