Assignments

Title of Assignent Description of the Assignment Date Assigned
Zentangle

Today we studied how line can be used to express emotion, depth, and various effects. We experimented with how there are many different types of line, and how lines can be used to create mood.

 

We also observed zentangles. Zentangles are made by using line and pattern. Students observe examples and created their own.

 

Assignment #1: Students were asked to create their own zentangle using their new-found knowledge of line, and pattern.

Friday, Sept. 7
One-point Perspective 

Today we are going to talk about what perspective is and how it can be used to create depth and form in a picture.  We started studying one-point perspective.  This is the method of establishing a vanishing point within a picture that sets the angles of all the objects.  This gives the illusion of perspective in a 2-dimensional picture.

 

Assignment: Students are to create a one-point perspective piece that is on 11X17 paper.  Their piece may take the form of a picture/scene or could be a collection of shapes and/or letters.  The intent is that the concept of one-point perspective is shown strongly in their piece.

 

Students are once more reminded that all their art pieces are judged by effort, challenge, and engagement

Two-Point Perspective 

Students are to create a two-point perspective just like the one created together in class.  We have had two instructional sessions on this so students should be well-versed in the concept.

 

Assignment: Students are to create an original two-point perspective project on 11X17 paper.  Students are reminded that their effort, creativity, and personal challenge are the key factors in their assessment.

Human Form 

Human Form

 

Today we discussed how to use very basic shapes to start drawings of the human form. This type of exercise can not only help students to master capturing the still motion but also the stopped movement of the human form. We sketched a few forms together to get some intitial practice.

 

 

Assignment: Students are to create 20 basic sketches of the human form using the techniques practiced in class. They are to label them by number, in order, so that a progression can be seen when they are assessed.

The Human Face 

The Human Face

 

We have studied that basic proportins of the human body and have completed 20 basic human forms in motion.  Now it is time for students to study the details of the human face.  We created a basic diagram of that human face covering the basic proportions of the human head and where to put the basic features. 

 

Assignment: Students are to complete 2 drawings of a human face.  There are two options for this:

1) 1 drawing following along with the video watched in class.  1 drawing of any person using a picture or a model.

2) 2 drawings following along with the video watched in class.  This will show a progressive development in the ability of the artist.
