Here is how you and your artist group will be evaluated: sculpture is anatomically correct /5 position of sculpture and display location is well planned /5 sculpture attracts attention of the public and questions what is normal in public spaces /5 sculpture clothing gives it character like a real person /5 public reactions have been recorded /5 /25 How have you participated in the group? creative contributions to planning /3 work with others /4 being prepared with supplies /3 /10 Choose a famous person, friend or family member. You will be drawing a portrait of them, so choose a person that is interesting to look at, one that has character. The photo of them should be a strong composition with interesting expression. Bring a photo of them to class.
Step 1: Sketch out the person in your sketchbook. Look at the shapes that are formed by the shadows and highlights. Simplify the image by drawing these shapes. Step 2: Plan out how you are going to incorporate the textures you can create using the cardboard. Pick a family road trip / vacation you have been on that you have lots of memories of. Collect a road map, trip photos, and images of the shapes on the inside or outside of your family vehicle (NO licence plates please). Bring all this stuff to school.
Look at examples of the project by clicking on "Art How's To's" > "Painting Resources". Lay out the map family trip photos, and car photos in front of you. In your sketch book turn your car images into their simple shapes. Draw some ideas for how you will use your map, photos, and the shapes from your car to create painting similar to the examples on the website. #1 draw a big hand, around the hand draw 4 figures in different positions in the same style as the gesture drawing we did in class. Your goal is to capture the muscles and joints correctly.
#2 keep track of your dreams over the week, pick one or several images from your dream and draw / visually record them in any way you want into your sketchbook. If you don't have a dream, draw a past dream or make one up. #3 imagine you are a bug on a part of your body, draw what that bug would see #4 using a very unique or strange media that you have never used before, create a piece of art that expresses the intersection between the "real world" and the digital world #5 find a subject made of many complex shapes (play ground, dinner table chair, heating ducts, etc.), look at it and in your mind simplify it into its basic shapes as if it was only 2D, now notice the negative spaces around it, using a black felt or pencil crayon outline those negative spaces into your sketchbook, using a blue / purple / red felt or pencil crayon colour in the negative spaces #6 tape sculpture project planning: in your sketchbook, draw the figure and background of the sculpture that your group will place in the community and in the school. In your drawing show the pose of each sculpture and the location they will be in. Draw as much detail as possible. You may use reference photographs to help you. #7 for the DX Design Competition drawing two 3D sketches in your sketchbook for your chosen design challenge. You can see examples of past winners by clicking Design Competition Info then scroll down and click on Resources. During April visual arts students will choose one of five design challenges presented by the Design Exchange, Canada's top design museum, located in Toronto. Students will have the opportunity to submit their designs to the Design Exchange and have the chance to win cash prizes. Here is an example of one of the choices, a playground design. For your project choices and more details see the link below. Design personal packaging for you!
Design Brief: Design a 3D package that represents you. It could be a literal package for a human being, or choose a product that represents you. All the elements on the package should represent you in some way. You can use pencil crayons, felts, paint or collage! It can be any material that represents you. Project criteria Brainstorming mind map, thumbnail sketches, rough draft of all sides Package design must include: a product name (yours or a nickname), description of what the product is (juice, Kleenex, milk etc), either a literal representation of you, or something abstract, additional elements: special features, bonus items inside, nutritional content Create the package (3D) and add all elements. Ask for help if needed. http://www.looks.gd/design/21-examples-creative-packaging-design http://weandthecolor.com/brand-and-package-design-for-pasta-la-vista-by-andrew-gorkovenko/18294 http://cobymcdougalldesign.com/tea-package.html http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/ For this project your goal to take "junk" and transform it into something awesome. Though I personally question this artist's philosophy that drives her work, it is very beautiful. I think we can take the meaning in a different direction. I see taking what was once junk and transforming it into something beautiful as a metaphor for what can happen to our lives. When you look at this artists work look closely at the types of materials she uses and then find your own. Ask friends and family for their plastic cutlery, containers, old computer covers etc. Dive into a dumpster (SAFELY) if you have to. I've done it!! Your project will be marked on use of form, creative use of materials, how accurately your sculpture represents the subject, how your project and statement conveys the meaning of your work.
