SWBAT:
1...learn about the techniques and themes of
Ukiyo-e Woodblock artists from the Japanese
Edo period.
2...plan their own Ukiyo-e inspired print
designs
1. Fold your copy paper into 4 or
use two papers and fold in half.
.
2. Write your name and period on paper(s)
.
3. Look at your Ukiyo-e Woodblock Print Samples
handout for idea (See Left)
.
4. Choose one of the Ukiyo-e themes for your first sketch
1. Choose a strategy (or a combination of strategies) for finding
image references.
• Print outs provided in class
• Image search on your smart phone (See search word ideas below)
• Pose yourself or a classmate with a prop and take a photo
1. Sketch out 3 separate ideas on your copy paper. Feel free to work larger if
you want to!
(Remember what a sketch is - it is a plan for the what, where and the how.
So no careful drawing!)
.
2. Avoid copying someone else's original art
by using plain photograph images instead of drawings
and paintings
.
3. Combine references and create your own original
combination, placement, and point of view.
(Example: Use a photo of a bird and a photo of a
tree branch and combine them into your own original
composition)
1. Make sure your sketch is:
........original (your own art)
........detailed (add more detail if needed)
........not too detailed (zoom in and crop out - ask for help with this)
........balanced
........inspired in some way by the Ukiyo-e print themes
1. Write your name and period on a piece of copy paper
.
2. Trace the outline of a piece of 6" x 9" linoleum
.
3. Use your chosen sketch idea as reference to create your final drawing.
Make changes as needed. Assess your work and correct as needed.
