WITH CRAYOLA MARKERS
art start: practice more ellipses in your notebook.
Showing form through shading, value, and shadows.
Today's practice: ellipses, cylinders, and jars.
practice shading
Monday: Shading on your own
Use different techniques or chiaroscuro
Make a value background
Choose one hue and white.
assemble your compostion
Add shadows on the "table"
BALANCE:
A even distribution of visual weight. Different types of symmetry can show balance.
symmetrical
radial symmetry
asymmetry
SPACE
The area where objects exist. The area surrounding the subject.
Create: Art project prep
Use the skinny tape to grid a 3x3 grid onto watercolor paper.
Use the the template to trace a heart in each square

PERSPECTIVE LANDSCAPE 1
White paper and sharpies
Use the drawing guide to draw the winter landscape
Add two more additional trees or objects in the foreground
Use watercolor to paint in the sky

White paper, pencils, and colored pencils
Use the drawing guide to draw cars on the the Autobahn or other highway of choice.
Trace over in sharpie and embellish with colored pencils
Think of a three letter word, an acronym, or, simply your own initials.
Use tape to spell out that word on the front cover of your art journal.
Chiaroscuro techniques will be used to fill in the negative space using pencils and/or colored pencils.
chiaroscuro
chiaroscuro, (from Italian chiaro, “light,” and scuro, “dark”), a technique used in visual arts to represent light and shadow as they define three-dimensional objects.
Chiaroscuro became a primary technique for many painters, and by the late 17th century the term was routinely used to describe any painting, drawing, or print that depended for its effect on an extensive gradation of light and darkness.

abstract art painting
Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition. Abstract art, non-figurative art, non-objective art, and non-representational art are all closely related terms. They have similar, but perhaps not identical, meanings.
Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be slight, partial, or complete.
Our Project: to create a non-objective art piece to explore several elements of art and apply some principles of design.
Our Project: To develop on a non-objective abstract piece of art exploring various elements of art that will be cut apart to create a final book. Our process will help us to identify line, shape, pattern, color, value, and texture within a work of art. We will identify movement, balance, variety, and repetition as principles of design. This is a mixed media project that incorporates pen, paint, and collage materials.
step one:
Sketch 4 possible compositions in your journal. Compositions should have large organic and/or geometric shapes. Decide on a color composition.
Step Two:
Choose one and sketch your design onto the large white paper. Use a pencil and fill the space of your paper. Each shape should be at least about the size of your hand.
Step Three:
Begin painting. Create a sense of unity in your work using a color scheme.
Step Four
Paint more shapes if desired; overlapping to create space. Use paint sticks or paint.
Step Five
Add lines and patterns with skinny brushes, markers, etc. Add collage material.

Adam Fu Project
Complete the steps for your contrast project.
Remember to erase all pencil mark from your initial.
When complete, place on dry rack.
Find your oil pastel paper and paint it over completely using the black paint mixture from one of the condiment cups.
This goes on the dry rack as well.
CONTRAST
CONTRAST is the arrangement of opposite elements together: light and dark, rough and smooth, large and small. Contrast can be created in many ways and artists often include it for a variety of reasons. In our lesson contrast will be created with color and value.

THE STEPS:
SKETCH YOUR IMAGE LIGHTLY!
USE HIGHLIGHTER OR LIGHT MARKERS FOR LIGHTEST AREAS
USE OIL PASTELS TO BLEND IN THE DARKER VALUES
CRAFTSMANSHIP
ADD IN POLES WITH BLACK OIL PASTEL WITH A LIGHT TOUCH.
Analogous Colored Pumpkins
Black paper, 3 oil pastels, pencil
Use drawing guides to draw a pumpkin.
Use oil pastels build up the color of each rib
Add in a stem with brown, green, grays, white, etc.
what colors do you see
choose 3 for your pumpkin
where are the highlights
darkest color for the indentations, gradually get lighter
where are the shadows
blend in white for additional highlights
Elements of Art
Line -a path made by a moving point
Color - hues on a spectrum; we use a color wheel made of primary, secondary, and intermediate colors
Shape - an area defined by its outline, geometric or organic
Form - a three-dimensional shape
Value - the lightness or darkness of an object
Color - hues on a spectrum; we use a color wheel made of primary, secondary, and intermediate colors
Texture - the way something feels or appears to feel
Space - the illusion of depth in an artwork
Dot Day ART:
Paint dots on your paper using only 3 analogous colors. Let this dry. Expressive lines and dots will be added to emphasize our dots.
Mae Alice Engron
Mae Alice Engron was born, raised and died in Indianapolis, Indiana.
After injuries sustained working as a civil servant, she attended Herron School of Art, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1984, at the age of 42. She was an abstract painter who primarily painted with oil on canvas, although early in her practice, she also painted on foil to reflect light.
Inspired by organic forms and patterns drawn from nature, her works center on floral abstractions and traditional geometric abstraction and her own unique understanding of color. Mae’s signature on her pieces – MAE – is as recognizable as her work

Creating an abstract work of art:
Paint in the various shapes, one color at a time. For instance, first paint in all the yellow shapes. Then all the orange shapes, then dark pink, light pink, etc.
Strive to create a balance. Have a variety of shapes and colors. The idea is that the different shapes and placement of colors will cause the viewer's eyes to bounce around the canvas.
Continue painting in these shapes until the white paper is mostly covered. These shapes will form the bottom layer of the composition. This first layer of shapes are painted next to each other, as opposed to on top of each other.
Now that the initial bottom layer is mostly covered, I start painting in smaller details on top of the shapes I already painting. This is called an additive process, or a layering process, because it involves adding layers to create the painting. This is one technique you can use to paint abstract art in acrylics.
In general, the new details I add are confined to the space of each particular shape. Thus each shape winds up being truly unique from all the other shapes.
I primarily paint circles, half-circles, dots, swirls, curls, raindrops, triangles, and lines.
The process of adding more layers of detail continues. As more details are added, they become smaller because I start placing details on top of details.
As mentioned earlier, the colors are chosen to create a sense of movement. I want the colors to pop off the canvas.
The repetitive designs start to form funky, sometimes intricate patterns. Creating a pattern is one element you can use to make an abstract work of art.
When I add details, I add them one color at a time. For instance, I'll add all the white details over the entire canvas, then I'll add all the red ones, and so on. This means I only have to squeeze out one color at a time. Because acrylics dry quickly, I try not to have more on my palette than I'll actually use!
