Here are some student examples Notice the use of stippling, crosshatching and parallel and expressive lines.

First let's look at some prints - notice how they use texture to describe a surface with different values.Notice the use of the entire rectangle, and how outlines are not emphasized. Note - your print will come out as the mirror image of your block. You will be carving away the 'whites' and leaving up the dark areas of texture.
Self-portrait in three views. students will make - A watercolor painting of your face seen front on, side-view and three quarters on the same page. The painting will be on a 12” x 18” sheet of paper done in water color or tempera paint that reacts to another painting or in a group of three paintings. Painting will use the art elements of form and color and will depict a realistic head in three poses in one composition. The main design element of the composition should be movement. The three images will be placed on the page in such a way that they flow visually one from the other and show how the features line up as the head moves through space. The composition will also use expression, composition and color to express a mood, idea/thought or feeling. Students will also use color to express a sense of light reflected off of a surface to describe a three-dimensional motif (your face!) Students will need to learn – the proportions of a head and how to draw features in different views. - how to use water based paint both transparently and opaquely - how to use color both to express light to create surface but also thematically to express and idea, mood or feeling. Materials – iPad camera, mirrors, possibly personal cell phone, use the iPad sketchbook express program to help you draw the image in correct proportion. Use tutorials. Paper, pencils and water based paint Results – students will produce paintings that can be paired or grouped and will have a record of making the project on their working blogs. Students will do some one-class-period assignments along the way to instruct students on how to draw a face, how to use sketchbook express and how to use water based paint that will be evaluated independently of the final project. Charles I in Three Positions, also known as the Triple portrait of Charles I, is an oil painting of Charles I of Englandby Flemish artist Sir Anthony Van Dyck, showing the King from three viewpoints: left full profile, face on, and right three quarter profile. Painted in 1635 or 1636, it is currently part of the Royal Collection.[1] The colours of the costumes and pattern of the lace collars are different in each portrait, however the blue riband of the Order of the Garter is present in all three.[1]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_I_in_Three_Positions the idea of this assignment is to explore the similarities and differences between lines, edges and shapes and introduce the concept of one point perspective. We will put all the squares together to make a mosaic so chose color combinations that are different that what others are using. We want as many combinations as possible.
For this assignment, please first look at the history of Dreamtime paintings as practiced in Australia by the Aborigine people.
If you can get the big shapes drawn and the colors right then a water color landscape is not too difficult to make look good.
- all whites are the white of the paper - there is no white paint - to make a tint - add water. To make a color darker try mixing in the compliment. Green gets dark by adding red - or purple. - Always paint light to dark - general to specific. Unlike other media if you want it white leave it blank from the beginning. - experiment first before you do your final painting. - try wet into wet. Try letting it dry and then painting detail over it. -try matching colors with the screen. You won't be able to get a perfect match because of the pigments we are limited to, however you can make colors seem brighter by putting a compliment next to it. Take a photo of a "Macro landscape"
transfer the picture into sketchbook express and draw the outlines. Transfer outlines to a sheet of heavy white paper and make a painting one of many painting by Georgia O'KeffeAn example of a macro landscape by Albrect Durer from aprox. 1500first look at paint and the color wheel - there are tints and shades - mixing black and white to hues, but there are also ways to change color by mixing in either compliments or analogous colors. |
