Angry Office Guy

Modified Blind Contour Crunched Can

2-Point Perspective City

Drawing will include work in the following areas: pencil, pen & ink, oil & chalk pastels and mixed media. Instructional strategies in this class will include discussions and studio activities in both small and large group settings. To aid student learning, resources such as slides, reproductions, art materials, websites, journals, and texts may be utilized. Students will complete 4-5 major art projects, emphasizing the Elements of Art and Principles of Design. Students explore general Art History and are introduced to "objectively viewing their own Art, and learn constructive criticism". While students are encouraged to always create art at home, most projects can be completed in class with the time given. Students that cannot complete projects using class time need to take artwork home to complete (homework).

The project Due Dates are listed as "Soft Deadlines" only. Students should complete work with these dates in mind...

HOWEVER;

Students need to turn in completed projects BEFORE the FINAL DUE DATE for full credit (if applicable).

No projects will be accepted after that date and scores of 0 (F) will stand.

Elements of Art

Seven "building blocks of art" that all students will need to understand, recognize and utilize in their own works: Color, Line, Value, Shape, Texture, Space and Form

Principles of Design

Placing the "building blocks of art" into a framework that communicates ideas and feelings. Learning these seven "guidelines" helps students create strong visual ideas: Balance, Contrast, Pattern, Rhythm, Movement, Emphasis and Unity.

Art History: Phases I-VI

Students learn that art is "MOORE" than just a pretty picture. Art captures cultural heritage and and human history. We learn about how past events and human emotions affect artists and their creations and in turn, students learn to place value on the artwork they view and create.

There are 6 PHASES of Art History to learn at Moore Square. Students will explore one phase at a time and proceed to the next phase after reviewing thier information in their digital portfolios.

Blind Contour Drawing

Students learn an advanced drawing technique called "Blind Contour Drawing". This technique is a 3 project / 3 step process that culminates in the "Crunched Can" assignemnt.
