Technique: 'batik' (crayon, paraffin, India ink)
Design: bilateral symmetry, motifs, balance, unity
Meaning: totem symbol ('animal spirit that guides you')
______ LINE, SHAPE, POSITIVE/NEGATIVE SPACE - Self Portrait (10/3/11)
Technique: observational drawing (mirror), contour line (no shading), color pencil
Design: use entire space (motifs), pattern, unity
Meaning: inspired by 'self', include color or symbols that represent you
______ Another Self Portrait (10/4/11)
______ VALUE SCALE - White on Black (10/6/11)
Technique: light-to-heavy pencil pressure
Design: steps of value (6) and gradation, contrast
Meaning: experimental and practice, 'reverse' way of seeing
______ LINE, FORM, SPACE, VALUE - Still Life white-on-black (10/7/11)
Technique: observational drawing, contour line, show form
Design: use space, show light and shadow, contrast , unity
Meaning: observe highlights & shadows, relationships of objects to one another
______ SHAPE, COLOR, SPACE, LINE, TEXTURE - Construction Paper collage (10/11/11)
Technique: cut & assemble construction paper to make recognizable objects or abstract design
Design: use entire space, work from 'back to front', consider color schemes, balance, contrast emphasis, unity
Meaning: ___________________________________________
______ SPACE, LINE, VALUE, COLOR, TEXTURE - Room with Checkerboard Floor (10/13/11)
Technique: 2-point perspective, Atmospheric Perspective (things in the distance look smaller, lighter/duller, less detailed; things closer to you look larger, brighter/darker, more detailed), movement, pattern, unity
Design: use entire space, add detail, texture, design
Meaning: ____________________________________________
______ Another 2-pt perspective (10/14/11)
______ VALUE, FORM, LINE - Pointillism (10/17/11)
Technique: drawing from a visual reference, look at 'shapes of value', use 'density' to create value (areas of highlights and shadows), pointillism in pencil or pen
Design: Use a visual reference (magazine photo), represent subject matter in pointillism, balance, contrast, unity
MEANING: experiment/practice showing form using pointillism, highlights-middle values-shadows; high/low density
______ Another Pointillism (10/18/11)
______ COLOR, SHAPE, VALUE, TEXTURE, SPACE - Art Tissue 'Painting' (10/20/11)
Technique: layer art tissue to build color, value using a visual reference, glue all tissue securely
Design: Use entire space, balance, consider color harmonies, balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, unity
Meaning: representational art
______ Another Art Tissue Painting, from imagination if desired (10/21/11)
______ Pointillism in Color - from imagination or visual reference, optical color mixing (10/24/11)
______ VALUE, SPACE, COLOR, SHAPE, LINE - Watercolor (10/25/11)
Technique: wet-in-wet & wet on dry, ink drawing into dried watercolor, spatter; use the medium
