Art Photograph
$5.00Art 7 1

Your viewer will be drawn into the object and notice fine details that may have gone unnoticed in an ordinary situation. Choose an object that you use, see, or interact with on a daily basis. Focus on a small part of the overall object. Zoom in as close as your camera will permit and take many pictures. Consider different lighting sources and try photographing from a variety of angles to add to the mystery of your photograph. In a 250+ word essay describe your final composition. Discuss the choices that you made and evaluate the photograph. Submit the completed assignment here and also post it in the Final Padlet Portfolio.

Art 5 intense emotion
$5.00Art 5 Think back to a period in your life when you felt an intense emotion: happy, sad, relief, confusion etc. This period could be any length of time ranging from a few hours to several months, to many years. Write down a summary of this experience in your sketchbook. Visualize yourself: How old were you? What did you look like? What were you wearing? Where were you? Who were you with? If one particular incident from that period flashes into your mind, stay with it and keep visualizing it. Jot down notes recording details from your memory. How were you behaving in the scene or time period you are remembering? What was going on around you? How were you feeling? What sounds, colors, shapes, and other sensory details do you remember?
Record as much as you can in your sketchbook. Describe any vivid or sensory details that you recall. Why is this memory important to you? Do any of the feelings still linger? How does this memory have meaning in your life now? Plan a composition in which the image expresses yourself caught up in a strong tide of emotion. Your subject may be based on a memory, an imaginary appearance, or it might focus on how you feel about a topic of ongoing concern. Think about how you organize your composition. Also consider how paint texture, brushstrokes and color can relay a strong sense of emotion. Begin this assignment by sketching out three preliminary sketches. Use these sketches to help plan your final composition.
Once you have your ideas for your final painting, complete the work by first sketching your idea in pencil and then working into your painting using watercolor paint. In a 250+ word essay describe your final composition. Discuss the choices that you made and evaluate the painting. What would you do differently if you were to re-do this assignment? Submit the completed assignment here and also post it in the Final Padlet Portfolio.

Art Hatching and Blending
$7.00For this unit’s assignment, we will try two types of drawing techniques. Each drawing is a way to create depth on a two-dimensional surface using value. In the first drawing, we will use blending to create value. We will use hatching and cross-hatching in the second drawing to create value. Each drawing should be completed on a separate page in your sketchbook. Drawing 1: Complete a 5-step value scale using blending: On a separate page in your sketchbook, draw a 5-step value scale. The measurement of the scale should be 1 in. by 5 in. (Each box is 1×1 in.). The first step of your scale should be left entirely white. Using your graphite pencil, shade the 5th square as dark as possible.
Now you will create a gradation of value in equal steps moving from white to black. Make sure each square demonstrates a similar change in value. We will repeat this exercise in the second part of this assignment. You can put both value scales on the same sketchbook page I have done below. Value Scale 1 – Graphite Blending. Shows how to create a 5 inch by 1 inch table to demonstrate blending. Blending from 1 to 5, lightest to darkest shades of pencil Once you have completed your value scale, please move to a new page in your sketchbook; we will apply these values to a drawing.
Look very carefully at this image and read the following instructions. Don’t panic! We are going to go through this step by step! A circle on a page indicating highlights and shadows in a drawing Using your graphite pencil and a straightedge, very lightly draw a line across your page about ¾ of the way down your page. This line will represent the back edge of the tabletop. Find a circle to trace! The top of a cup, bowl, jar, or circular object. Position the circle so that the bottom of the circle is slightly below your horizon line. Draw this outline very lightly. Another image demonstrating where to use highlight and shadow on a circle Before you shade your drawing, look carefully at this example.
Where are your darkest areas? Where are your lightest areas? Examine the picture and decide where is the light source. Do you notice the shadow on the sphere and the cast shadow on the table surface? Also, look carefully at the background space. Do you see how the value changes as we move from the left side to the right side? The same thing happens on the table surface. Now begin shading. Note that you can always make areas darker. It can be a little trickier to lighten regions back to the white of the paper. Look carefully at the below image. Make sure that your drawing contains all of the elements mentioned below. Refer to your completed value scale to ensure you use a range of values. Note that only the “highlight” area is the bright white of your paper.
A sketch of a circle demonstrating highlight and shadow
Materials: Sketchbook, Graphite Pencil, Ruler/Straightedge Drawing 2: Complete a 5-step value scale using cross-hatching: On a separate page in your sketchbook, draw a 5-step value scale as in Drawing 1. Draw out the scale as you did before – lightly in pencil first. Again, the scale measurement should be 1 in. by 5 in. (Each box is 1×1 in.). The first step of your scale should be left entirely white. Using your dual tip, Sharpie use the cross-hatching technique and makes the 5th square as dark as possible. Now you will create a gradation of value in equal steps moving from white to black using only hatching and cross-hatching. Your sharpie has two tips, so the thinner tip will help create lighter values. The thicker tip will help you create darker values. Remember, you will achieve a darker value by making your marks broader and closer together. Make sure each square demonstrates an equal change in value. Sketching and blending, from 1 to 5 or lightest to darkest Repeat the instructions for the sphere drawing. Draw the horizon line and sphere lightly on your page using your graphite pencil. However, this time use your Sharpie to create value. Use only hatching and cross-hatching lines to create the shadows in your drawing. Reference your value scale to ensure you utilize a wide range of values in your work. Go slow! It is easy to get darker with your Sharpie, but you cannot get lighter!

Colors on the top of a page in your sketchbook
$10.00Write the names of the following colors on the top of a page in your sketchbook. (One color per page): red, yellow, blue, green. Under the name of each color mix as many variations of the color that you possibly can using your watercolor set. Try to mix at least 10 variations of each color. Let your color swatches dry. Under each color write one word that you identify with that particular color. You can also add attributes that you associate with that color. Look over your lists and think about how your symbolic associations with different colors were generated. Are the sources of the symbolism cultural, political, religious, commercial, psychological, personal, from nature, or a combination of all of the above?
In a 250+ word essay, summarize your thoughts for each color. Look over your terms. Was one color easier for you to work with? Why?

Positive and negative space art
$7.00In your sketchbook, create two separate compositions that demonstrate positive and negative space. To begin, select an object that has an interesting shape. For instance, choose an object with an attractive edge – such as a maple leaf, open pair of scissors, etc. In the first drawing, draw the positive space of the object – that means you will focus on drawing the actual object. Then in the second drawing, draw the negative space of the object. In other words, focus on drawing the area around the object. If you are new to drawing and feel intimidated drawing from life, select an object you can trace. For instance, choose a pair of scissors. Open the scissors to an interesting shape and trace the outline onto your paper. Use the same position for your second drawing. In your first drawing, shade and add details to the scissors. In the second drawing, draw in the empty background spaces.
When you complete this assignment, use pages that are open next to each other in your sketchbook to compare and contrast the two drawings easily. In a 250+ word essay, describe each composition. Discuss the choices that you made and evaluate each composition. Does each piece demonstrate positive and negative space? Is one more successful than the other? Why or why not? What would you do differently if you were to re-do this assignment? Please submit the completed assignment and post it in the Final Padlet Portfolio.
