Here is an idea of what your tie design might look like in the beginning. Add patterns, stripes, polka dots, plaid, creative shapes, etc.

Assignment:

Use complementary colors.


What I want you to know & do:

2. What principle of design makes pattern.
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the elements of art and the principles of design.
4. Apply problem-solving skills to create solutions to a specific visual art task.


Steps:

2. Inside this line, draw a frame line further inside, one to two inches.

3. Draw a tie design.

4. Divide up the areas created into different shapes, using stripes, plaid, polka dots, etc. This includes the inside frame. You should have at least 15 different shape-areas to paint in.

monochromatic art

Assignment: Create a piece of art that uses a monochromatic color scheme.

Your artwork should:

1. Have at least 10 shapes.

2. Show 10 value steps.

3. Use both geometric and organic shapes.

4. Have a strong center of interest. Make one shape larger than the others.

Vocabulary

Monochromatic: Art made up of only one color, plus tints and shades.

Value: the lightness or darkness of a color.

Tint is adding white to color to create lighter values such as light blue or pink.

Shade is adding black to color to create dark values such as dark blue or dark red.

Shape: a two dimensional area with identifiable boundaries.

Geometric shapes: mechanically drawn lines, squares, rectangles, circles.

Organic shapes: shapes based on forms of nature, which are usually rounded, irregular and curving.

Emphasis is given to an area within the design because that area is meant to be seen or is more important to be noticed when compared to other places of the design. Emphasis creates a center of interest.

Space: An art element that indicates areas between, around, above, below, or within something.

Negative space: The space NOT occupied by and object or figure, but circulating in and around it.

Positive space: The enclosed areas or objects in an artwork.

texture collage_self grade

Put your name at the top of your paper.

Write Texture Collage below your name.

Rate your texture collage on the following criteria.

Rate each category from 5 to 0, with 5 being the highest score and 0 being the lowest.

1. Collage illustrates texture.The way the surface of an object feels to the touch.

This is called actual texture. Actual texture may be rough, smooth, grainy, slick, gritty, etc.

Artists also create simulated texture. You can see these textures and imagine how they would feel, but if you touch them they only feel like the surface on which they've been drawn, painted, or printed.

2. Collage shows or uses crosshatching, stippling, rubbings and magazine photos.

3. Effort and craftsmanship

4. Collage has a center of interest

Your grade:

ACT words

ACT words are due each week. Your grade will be a zero if you do not turn the ACT words in when they are due. You cannot makeup ACT words unless you have an excused absence.

If you are in the Art, Design and Communications (ADC) academy, you will submit your ACT word assignment through Edmodo, using your laptop. All ADC academy students must submit this assignment on line, using Edmodo. If you are in the ADC academy and you do not submit through Edmodo, your grade will be a zero.

If you are not in the ADC academy, you may submit this assignment on paper. You are encouraged to submit the assignment online as well. You could work with someone who has a laptop, or you could use another computer to submit the ACT words assignment through Edmodo.

Late work, if it is accepted, will be given a grade of 75% of what the original score would have been. If your grade would have been 100 if you turned it in on time, your late grade will be 75.

Electronic devices

Cell phones, portable music players, headphones, earbuds, and other electronic devices are not permitted.

The only exception is your school-issued laptop & ear buds, I believe. That means if you are using your school-issued laptop and ear buds for assigned work, this is permitted....at this point in time. This could change if my understanding is incorrect.

Please bring a pencil to class. I cannot "loan" pencils. I'm just about out. You can also donate pencils.
