Consult the lines chart – are there other types of lines you could add to give your piece more visual interest? 3) examine the lines used in Norval Morisseau’s art work. Describe different kinds of lines you see. Is this piece realistic or imaginary? Does it tell a story? Do the lines make it more interesting? Is there anything you can learn about his use of lines that could make your piece more visually interesting or make the meaning more clear? 4) write a short description about how lines can be used to assist an artist in making their imagination visual. Make a chart with examples of the following: Types of Lines Straight, Wavy, Curved, Thick, Thin 2 3 Elaboration – using the Principle of design : Pattern, and the elements of design : line, colour, texture and shape Materials: patterned materials from the dollar store, leaves, etc., broken crayons, scissors, glue, white paper Principle of Design: Pattern 1) Fold 2 sheets of paper in quarters. Label each section with one of the following: Colour, Texture, Shape, Line 2) Examine the chart with ideas for making patterns with each element. Make your own patterns on both sheets in each section. 3) Save one sheet for your sketchbook. Cut out the other sheet and make a picture or pattern on another piece of paper using several or all of your patterns. Make a chart: Image Development Strategy: Elaboration Principle of Design: Pattern Colour Line Shape Texture 4 5 Stories Art works by Chagall and Mondrian Plasticine: red, yellow, blue, red, white, black, paper and pencils Element of Design: Shape 1) use the concepts of Beginning, Middle and End to create a simple story writing 2 sentences for each. It can be funny, descriptive, emotional, etc. 2) use plasticine to create one character from your story. Mix colours as needed. Put your plasticine character in an action pose from your short story. Add any props needed to tell your story. Photograph with your cell phone for your sketchbook. How does telling the story first help you think through the art making that followed? Did it change the level of detail or enjoyment in the process? Make a note in your sketchbook. 6 Observation Element of Design: Line (contour) Materials: 5 copyright free images of animals from the internet, e.g. turtle, guinea pig, horse, iguana, hedgehog with the name printed on the back of each), watercolours, watercolour felt pens, watercolour paper, observation chart (helps clarify details of each animal), pencils. Albrect Durer: The Hare 1) Hide animal pictures by turning them over. Using felt pens, and smaller pieces of paper, draw your own contour drawing of one of the animals named on the back of the pictures. Now turn the pictures over. On the back of your animal drawing, make and complete the observation chart below. Now re-draw the same animal using felt pens and fill in with water colours. Compare your first and second drawings. Write a brief sentence or two about this process. Animal: Legs Eyes Mouth Teeth Body Covering 7 Image Development Strategies #2: Grade 2 Monday, January 16th 2017 Magnification Materials: magnifying glass, round object to trace, pencil crayons, oil pastels, white paper, ½ sheets of heavier paper Images by Pablo Picasso: Blue Period and Rose Period, Image by Emily Carr Element of Design: Colour: Primary Colours (red, yellow, blue), Warm and Cool Colours (warm: red, yellow, orange, Cool: blue, green, purple) 1) use magnifying glass to look at one part of one of the art works. Name the colours you see. Trace a circle onto your paper. Use oil pastels to re-create the colours you see. Repeat for each art work. Name the feeling each colour circle on your sheet. 2) use smaller, heavier paper – choose 3 colours plus white and black if desired. Make your own magnified abstract using the magnifying glass and objects of your choice. Name the feeling of your abstract. 8 Simplification Element of Design: Shape Materials: Copy-right free images of 2 interesting animals, e.g. elephant and shark, pencils, smaller pieces of paper, foam shape stickers, scissors, Crayola felt pens. Artist: Marc Chagall, ‘The Wanderful Traveller’ 1) Do a simple drawing of one of the animals in the pictures presented. 2) Now look at the basic shapes you see in one of the animals, for example, a round head, a square body, a triangular nose. Use the foam stickers to create an animal and some aspects of his/her habitat on a half sized sheet of paper folded in half again. 3) Now try to draw the animal using the basic shapes then adding details 4) Optional extra: colour foam shapes with Crayola felts. Fold paper to make a print. 9 Abstraction Element of Design: Line: contour lines, thick and thin lines Materials: leaves, pencils, paper, black crayons, water colour paints, brushes, water containers, Art Work: Frantisek Kupka 1) Draw the outline of a leaf in pencil. 2) Choose a second leaf and draw it, overlapping with the first leaf. 3) Continue adding leaves until your paper is full. 4) Outline each leaf with black. Now outline the overlapping spaces a second time to make thick lines. 5) Look at your composition and try to name a feeling you get from the lines (pretend they are not leaves). Choose colours of water colour paint that will bring out those feelings in your piece. 10 Multiplication: making a mandala Principle of Design: Symmetrical Balance, Radial Balance Element of Design: shape: organic shapes, triangles, rectangles, squares Materials: push pins, sandpaper, white paper, scissors, crayons 1) cut an organic or geometric shape from sand paper. Line your shape up under your paper and hold in place by sticking a pin in the middle of your white paper and go through the sand paper. Hold the pin down with one hand. 2) use the side of a crayon to do a rubbing of the sandpaper. Rotate it slightly under the paper. Choose a second colour. Rub again. Repeat this process until you have made a complete circular non-objective image. 3) use other geometric and/or organic shapes to add interest around the edges of your mandala. 11 Image Development Strategies #3: Grades 3 and 4 Monday, January 23rd 2017 Superimposition Artist: Carl Beam, ‘North American Iceberg’, 1985 Materials: Newspaper, construction paper, scissors, glue sticks, pencils black felt pens Cut out a random piece of newspaper at least 10 x 10 cm. in size. Glue it to a piece of coloured construction paper. Read the words that exist there and get a sense of what the article is about. Create an image in pencil of something that represents the content of the article, e.g. tree, hydro wires and poles, bird. Go over the image in black felt pen, overlapping onto background paper if desired. If you wish, add words that express the idea in your newsprint. Elaborate by adding textures and other lines of interest. 12 Fragmentation Artist: Pablo Picasso ‘Weeping Woman’, 1937 Materials: construction paper, scissors, glue sticks, oil pastels, computer, printer, program: Photo booth Go to the room next door (resource room). Ask Kathleen or Caren Williams to sign you onto the computer and get you into Photo booth. Think of 2 emotions that might represent your personality. Use the first to inspire you to make that expression and take a picture looking right at the computer screen. Use the second emotion to inspire a photograph facing sideways. Print each in black and white. Return to the classroom. Choose a background of construction paper. Cut the portraits out. Now cut them into random shapes and glue them onto the paper to make a Picasso-like double face to show 2 sides of your personality.
