Our next project is on one point perspective drawing. This means that everything will lead back to one vanishing point. After going through the attached presentation please complete the activity attached below for practice. 

For extra credit you may submit a sketch by the end of class? 

For this activity we learned about how we can create emotion through art. In this case through lines. After going through the attached presentation please complete and attach a photo of the activity completed at the end of the presentation.

Now you will create your final copy for this project and submit it here.

For your artist project you will be using the artist that you did your presentation on to give you inspiration for your own piece. You will take some aspect of their work whether it's the colors they use, their subject matter, the style that they draw in etc. and you will make it your own. For step 1 you will submit a sketch of your idea. 

*Remember we are not copying the artist's work. You are simply taking some aspect of their work to give you inspiration to create your own piece. *

If you are doing the presentation, please upload that here as well as under "Artist Project - Step 2" 

For this project you will be creating a piece of artwork based on an artist that you will find through research. This artist should be someone you have never heard of before and was born in the more recent years. You will have full creativity on this project. When picking your artist make sure you know what aspects of their art you like that you will use in your piece. Please upload your presentation here. In your presentation you will include: 
Slide 1: The name of your artist along with a picture of them 
Slide 2-6: Please upload 5 of their artworks  
Slide 7: Please explain why you chose this artist/why you like their work

Step 4: 
For step four we will be drawing out the lines for the shape we are creating on our canvas. 
Part 1: First, you will take your ruler and measure 1/2 way and make a mark at 6 inches on all 4 sides. Then Connect the marks with lines. 

Part 2: Connect the marks diagonally. then make a line 1.5 in from each corner. After, make a line 1.5 in away from the center facing each corner. 

Part 3: Connect the center lines to the first marks. 

Part 4: Connect the corner lines to the first marks as well.

Step 5: 
Now you will start painting. You will use your value scales as well as your photo reference to help guide you through this project. You will look at your reference photo and match the colors to the value chart that was given to you. Then you will match that to the value chart you painted, and you will paint your canvas using the color that matches that spot. You will continue doing this until you have completed the project.

Once you are done, please submit a picture of your finished project here!

For this assignment we will be working on creating different Tints and Tones for different colors. Therefore, you will draw 9 boxes 2x2 inches and label them 1 - 9. Then you will follow the instructions of which paints to mix to get the right color for each box. There is also an example attached below of what each color should look like. 
Box 1: Red + White = Tint 
Box 2: Blue + White = Tint 
Box 3: Yellow + White = Tint 
Box 4: Red + Gray = Tone 
Box 5: Blue + Gray = Tone 
Box 6: Yellow + Gray = Tone 
Box 7: Red + Black = Shade 
Box 8: Blue + Black = Shade 
Box 9: Yellow + Black = Shade
Once you are done, please take a picture and upload it to google classroom. 

Submit a picture of your tints and shades chart here.

For your tints and shade charts you will do the following steps: 
Step 1 - Create 5 2x2in boxes in your sketchbook. 
Step 2 - Pick a color of your choosing and start by painting the middle box that color. 
Step 3 - Then take some white paint and add a dot of the color you chose into that white paint and mix it until you get a very light version of that color. 
Step 4 - Paint the first box using the color you have just made. 
Step 5 - Add a few dots more of your original color into the paint you just used to paint box 1. Then once you mix that together you will get a darker version of the color in box one and you will use this to paint box 2. 
Step 6 - Then you will skip box 3 because that should be the box you already painted with the original color you chose. Then you will use the paint of the original color that is in your palette that you have been mixing into the white, but this time you will add a dot of black paint. This will start the tints. You will use this color to paint box 4.
Step 7 - Then you will add two more dots of black paint into the color you just made and paint box 5. 
Step 8 - Once you are done you can take a picture and upload it to google classroom for a grade.
