Description
Artists through history show that the relationship between animals and humans is a rich source of artistic inspiration.
Students will create a color portrait of the eye of an animal in order to create emphasis in the composition. They will select materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to create a color drawing that pushes the boundaries of the art composition.

What is Emphasis?
What is Emphasis?
Emphasis is the principle of art that stresses one area in an artwork over another area. Emphasis of an art element occurs when one art element dominates the entire work, and the other elements become less important.
Emphasis can also be called creating a “focal point”. Why would an artist want to create a focal point? To bring the viewer’s attention to a certain area to express a point, show what he thinks is the most interest part…
3 Ways to create Emphasis in Art:
3 Ways to create Emphasis in Art:
Contrast: occurs when one element stands out from the rest of the work.
Contrasting Color: A bright color stands out from a dull color.
Color stands out against black and white
Contrasting Size: Large shapes stand out against small ones.
Contrasting Shape: Circular shapes stand out against angular shapes.
Isolation: occurs when an object is place alone and away from the other objects in an artwork. The viewer is drawn to the isolated shapes. (show examples)
Location: occurs when the eyes are naturally drawn toward the center of an artwork. Anything placed near the center of the work will be noticed first. That being said, discourage the students from placing the main subject in the center of the paper-it makes for a less interesting composition.
Show examples of black & white drawings with one area of emphasis of color.

You can branch out from there.
Do you have a large, high quality photo of a pet at home? That would be even better!!
Practice drawing it a few times on a scratch piece of paper before you start your final drawing. Fill up that paper!!!
👁🗨🐵Criterion D: Responding
👁🗨🐵Criterion D: Responding
Students respond to their world, to their own art and to the art of others. Students must make connections and transfer learning to new settings. Through reflecting on their artistic intention and the impact of their work on an audience and on themselves, students become more aware of their own artistic development and the role that arts play in their lives and in the world. Students learn that the arts may initiate as well as respond to change.
Objective 5: Students will evaluate their work and create an Artist Statement that shares their process.
