Big Ideas & Art Vocabulary:
Unity in an artwork creates a sense of harmony and wholeness, by using similar elements within the composition and placing them in a way that brings them all together.
Repetition -refers to one object or shape repeated; pattern is a combination of elements or shapes repeated in a recurring and regular arrangement. This can also be called a visual rhythm, a combination of elements repeated, but with variations; repetition of sounds is also used by musicians to create rhythm.
Strategies:
Everyone has different art pieces, so everyone has different visual problems to solve; each of you will have to decide which of these strategies will work for you, or come up with another strategy for solving your visual problems.
Look at all your prints. Are there any that can stand alone? Do you need to add or enhance a focal point?
Add a border
try white colored pencil,
silver sharpie
oil pastel
Use a stencil or draw from observation or imagination on your textured background
to create or define a focal point
to repeat a shape or color scheme
Collage
Create a Focal Point by Introducing a new material
"Bling" it with: glitter glue, sequins, beads, buttons, googly eyes, yarn, fabric, specialty papers- a little goes a long way!
crazy scissors
combining multiple prints
layering construction paper over a patterned background
Monoprinting is a form of printmaking that has lines or images that can only be made once, unlike most printmaking, where there are multiple originals. There are many techniques of monoprinting as this art form allows freedom and encourages spontaneity. I want to encourage you to experiment with the various materials on your tables, and the variety of marks and textures that are possible with these tools. Stencils can be layered and used in this process. You will work positively by adding paint with rollers called brayers and brushes and negatively by removing ink with a brush, rags or cotton swab or various tools.
Brayer - a tool used for rolling paint or ink.
Stencil- a thin sheet of cardboard, plastic, or metal with a pattern or letters cut out of it, used to produce the cut design on the surface below by the application of ink or paint through the holes. Select a simple contour for your stencil and cut it out. Bridges and Islands are utilized in effective stencil designs. Stencils make use of both positive space and negative space.
Contour- an outline or silhouette of a form.

We will have an art walk after cleanup & vote on our favorite sculpture in the class.

3) Begin weaving your weft using an over under pattern.
Notice that the first row starts with the yarn pulled all the way to the end
Notice that if you weave too tight, your warp strings will not stay parallel; check after each row that they are still straight.
Weave at least 8 rows of weft using an over under repeating pattern.
Before you continue weaving, ask yourself if you completed your tree drawing & rubric and uploaded it to artsonia. Both the tree drawing and the weaving will be due next week. You may choose to bring work home to get caught up, so plan accordingly.
Check your weaving with a peer, complete your weaving rubric, and show Mrs. H. before you upload your weaving to artsonia in the Weaving Studio Center.
1) Cut two arms lengths of yarn.
We are using up some neutral colors (earth tones) for this skill builder, but you can add one contrasting color if you like.
2) Thread your needle.
Make a clean and slightly angled cut at the end of your yarn
tie the string loosely because you will have to take the needle off at the end of class

You can bundle extra yarn around four fingers and tuck into your warp strings.

Your Tree Drawing project will be considered complete only when you complete your rubric in your shared google drive folder and add it to your digital portfolio. Please add your tree drawing to your digital portfolio as soon as you are able. Remember, the learning goal is to demonstrate the artistic behavior Observe, you do not have to include a foreground, background and middleground, just draw a tree from observation. If you have not brought your tree to completion yet, not to worry! Know that we will spend 3 weeks on our weaving skill builder and you can go back to finish your tree when you finish your weaving, or have the choice to finish it at home.
Create a 1/2" margin all the way around your cardboard loom like this:
Measure 1/4" on two opposite sides for your tabs:
You should have the same # of tabs on the top and bottom, but it does not matter exactly how many you have. This depends on the size of your cardboard loom.
DO NOT cut past your 1/2" margin line
You should have the same number of tabs on the top and bottom
Use masking tape and write your name and class artist on the back with sharpie- (pencil doesn't show up as well).
This is what the front will start to look like:
This is what the back will look like:
If your back looks like your front (Like Alex's Weaving shown here) it is OK. You will not have to start over. You just used twice as much yarn :)
Thread your needle. Let me or a peer know if you need help with this.
Weave at least 8 rows of weft using an over under repeating pattern. We are using up some neutral colors (earth tones) for this skill builder, but you can add a contrasting color- check in the middle of the room in the scrap bin :) if you like.
