Graffiti Art What is painting? What makes a painting good? What are the characteristics of a quality painting? Graffiti a board with your table team that answers those questions. Use words, colors and images to design. Make sure the artists from your table have tagged their names into the design. Check out my Pin Board on the topic for inspiration. http://pinterest.com/bellafiore3/street-art-and-graffiti/ What is a Visual Journal? How is it different from a Sketchbook? How will we be using Visual Journals in this class? Look at examples of Visual Journal Pages Reflect on the Graffiti Activity and Develop 1-2 Visual Journal pages about your goals for this class. Use paint, markers, collage any media to create your goals. Make the page(s) true works of art! Friday 1/28 This week we will begin our Monochromatic Still Life Paintings. You will be working from the still life set up in the room. Find a creative composition within the still life. You don't have to paint the entire thing. Things to remember for the still life:
Your goals, notes on brushes and painting techniques, worksheet on value, thumbnails planning your painting are due Thursday 2/2 at the end of class. Make sure you show them to me along with a Sketchbook rubric. Develop them with writing and Visual Journaling techniques. Think about the 3 Cs of quality art making as you design your painting: 1. Concept: What's your idea? How can you make your painting unique and interesting. 2. Composition: How will you design the 2-dimensional space of your painting? Make sure you have the minimum number of objects and an interesting background. 3. Craftsmanship: How will you use the media? How do you blend smoothly creating tints and shades of the color chosen. |
Assessment in This ClassAs always the artwork you create and the way you present it will influence the grades you receive in this class. This year the district is moving towards Standards Based Grading. With each unit you will see a highly detailed form that describes the assignment and shows what Reportable Standards and Priority Standards are being covered in the unit. As we've done in the past you will participate in the critique process, which involves presenting your finished artwork and evaluating it in verbal and written form. You will use the following two rubrics to self assess your work. Each is standards based and will be used to determine your grade in this class. This year we will also be individually grading your artist statements with a separate rubric. Both rubrics are posted here. In some classes you will complete these digitally, while in others you will fill out a paper copy. Each class will digitally turn in their artist statements to the Google folder for the class.
