Considering the Principles of Design, we will be creating original album cover art.

Things to think about- how might the album cover represent the type of music on the album?

If your life had a soundtrack, what would the cover look like, and what songs would be on it?

Has there ever been something like a photograph, object, place, person, or scene that you thought would be interesting for an album cover?

You may use ANY artistic medium for this project

You must fill the whole space

You may include collaged elements, but the work must still include art made by hand.

Consider how might you use the Principles of art in your album.

Create (2) 6x6 sketches that you could potentially create for your album cover. These are sketches - don't be super detailed with these. You will need to explain a minimum of 3 Principles of Art/Design for EACH sketch.

Sketch #1 - 5 points: Sketch completes the entire 6 x 6 space, and it's obvious which principles of arts were used

Sketch #2 - 5 points: Sketch completes the entire 6 x 6 space, and it's obvious which principles of arts were used

Explanation of Principles - 3 points: Using text, student was able to explain which 3 principles of art/design they used (for both sketches)

Documentation - 2pts: Student uploaded an image of both sketch onto their student website.

Pick one of your sketches, and redraw it on a 12 x 12 piece of drawing paper/watercolor paper.

Drawing Paper: colored pencils, graphite, charcoal, collage, sharpie marker

Watercolor paper: watercolor, acrylic, mixed media

Use multiple mediums to complete your final 12 x 12 album cover paper. You may use any medium we can access to in the classroom. Below are a couple of examples.

5pts 3 Obvious Principles of Art: It is obvious that the student created a minimum of 3 principles of art/design on their album cover

5pts Fill the Space: The student filled at least 80% of the 12 x 12 paper with art mediums

5pts Multiple Art Mediums: Student used multiple art mediums to create their final album cover

5pts Effort/Perseverance: Student continuously worked on their album cover during class, and the effort is obvious.

5pts Explanation and Documentation: Student developed 50-60 words that explain how they used a minimum of 3 principles of design within their final album cover (insert text onto student website) and student upload a clear image of their final album cover artwork onto their student website.
