2nd Day Agenda

ObjectiveTo understand the word symbolism, find symbolic representations of yourself and to look for and understand the meaning of who you are and how it influences YOUR art.

To work on your communication skills of presentation and active listening.

Iconic/Symbolic Logos - Icons and symbols are compelling yet uncomplicated images that are emblematic of a particular company or product. They use imagery that conveys a literal or abstract representation of your organization. Symbols are less direct than straight text, leaving room for broader interpretation of what the organization represents. In order for a symbol to be a truly effective logo it should be:*Instantaneously recognizable.*Memorable.*Can be illustrative in nature, either concrete or abstract.

What is art??? You will define art individually for five

minutes. This definition will be shared with your group. Your group will collectively redefine the definition to the come up with a SUPER Art definition to be shared with the class on the boards

WE will discuss and take notes on a slideshow defining arts key concepts.

Look at the image . The painting by Matisse is full of sweeping circular areas which move your eye around the picture (it is a good example of optical movement). The elements are flowing and circular and give you the impression of a calm quiet rhythm.

The Element of Texture

Texture Rubbings Texture Hands

Demo handout FOR CREDIT.Complete all

Collages hang and label your best one.

TextureTexture is the Element of Art that describes the feeling of the surface of an object. Texture can either be actual or implied. Actual texture is texture we can actually feel, implied texture is an illusion of texture that is strictly visual.

This is a picture of an actual rose. If we were at the scene of this picture, we could actually feel the petals of the roses, so its texture would be actual.

Since this is only a drawing or painting of a rose and it would be impossible to actually feel the petals of the roses in this artwork, its texture is implied.

Intro To Drawing Contour Hand Drawings

The Contour LINE A contour is the line which defines a

form or edge - an outline. Contour drawing is the place where most beginners start, following the visible edges of a shape. The contour describes the outermost edges of a form, as well as dramatic changes of plane within the form. 'Blind contour drawing' is when contour drawing is done without looking at the paper.

Final Choice GraphiteDrawing

Why a GRID?

Using a grid is a helpful way to enlarge or reproduce a picture. It aids the artist in the placement of the different elements that compose the picture. By working with a grid, you will have an easier time getting the proportions correct.

Why a grid ????

Using a grid is a helpful way to enlarge or reproduce a picture. It aids the artist in the placement of the different elements that compose the picture. By working with a grid, you will have an easier time getting the proportions correct.

How to Begin…What You Need Please choose something more

difficult than you would normally try to draw freehand because the grid system will help more than you may realize. No line drawings or cartoon characters!

To receive full credit, your drawing must have at least four values present (white can be one of them).

Helpful terminology:  Value: Element of art that deals with lightness or

darkness. Depends on how much light a surface reflects.

  Contrast: To place and arrange values or colors so

as to set off or bring out noticeable differences.

Highlights: Small white areas that show the surfaces of the subject that reflect the most light.

Shadows: Shaded areas in a drawing. They show the surfaces of the subject that reflect the least lights. They are used to create the illusion of form (three-dimensional reality).

Step 1:Step 1: Choose your original. This

can be a photograph, a picture in a magazine, a CD cover, etc. Please pick something smaller than 5 X 7” or crop a larger picture to this size. No cartoons or line drawings as this exercise is also to help you gain practice shading and using different values.

Gesture Drawing – The essence of a subject A Gesture drawing is work of art defined by rapid

execution (DRAWN QUICKLY). Typically artist draw a series of poses in a short amount of time, often a little as 30 seconds, or as long as 2 minutes

Artists may gesture draw people or animals going about normal activities with no special effort to pause for the artist. For example, drawing from people on the street, performers, athletes, or drawing animals at the zoo.

For ART 1, a gesture drawing attempts to capture action, basic shapes or movement.

Graffiti is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted

or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to the Roman Empire.

In modern times, paint, particularly spray paint, and marker pens have become the most commonly used graffiti materials. In most countries, marking or painting property without the property owner's consent is considered defacement and VANDALISM, which is a punishable crime.

Sometimes graffiti expresses social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic expression is based upon spray paint graffiti styles. To some, it is an art form worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions; to others it is merely vandalism.

Graffiti Bellwork

How illegal is it to vandalize a wall?Is Graffiti Art or Crime?Does it matter what or where

art/graffiti is placed?

Graffiti Art

Drawing/Painting

What the heck is “graffiti”?

Words or pictures scrawled or scratched in public places, particularly on wall – it could be political messages, personal notes, advertising, etc.

Generally, most people associate graffiti with vandalism and unauthorized defacing of property. However, there are artists that are recognized and have brought graffiti to a level that is somewhat accepted in the Art community. Although graffiti is a new Art movement, it has existed since 400 B.C.

The beginning of graffiti…Originally, the term “graffiti” referred to the writings or pictures created by artists with permission. The term has evolved over time and now is associated with public decoration that isn’t authorized. One way that archeologists have identified ancient graffiti is the spelling and grammatical errors that are commonly present.

Graffiti in Pompeii

Whoever loves, go to ****. I want to break Venus's ribs with a club and deform her hips. If she can break my tender heart why can't I hit her over the head?

The best preserved examples of ancient graffiti exist in Pompeii. On the walls of the city they have found crudely written declarations of love, insults, caricatures, and political messages. Much of the graffiti found deals with love and prostitution. The earliest example of graffiti found in Pompeii is a heart-like symbol, a handprint, a footprint and a number.

This verse was found in ancient Rome

Caricature found in Pompeii

Modern GraffitiMany people associate modern graffiti with

Hip-Hop culture. However, it predates hip-hop by

almost a decade.

1960’s – Political activists trying to make a statement, gang graffiti

1970’s – Graffiti artists begin to develop “tags” to distinguish themselves and “bomb” areas around Brooklyn.

1980’s – Decline because of unsafe streets, penalties, and security, begins to be noticed by the art world.

Late 80’s to today – Graffiti art still exists though illegal and prosecuted, memorials are common.

How illegal is it to vandalize a wall, asks Banksy? Answer:

In his website introduction to his Wall project, if the wall itself has been deemed unlawful by the International Court of Justice? The Israeli government is building a wall surrounding the occupied Palestinian territories. It stands three times the height of the Berlin wall and will eventually run for over 700km - the distance from London to Zurich. The International Court of Justice last year ruled the wall and its associated regime is illegal. It essentially turns Palestine into the world’s largest open-air prison.

The West Wall Project

The Wall is around Qalqiliya. A twenty-five foot high concrete cage cuts residents off from their agricultural land, necessary for their survival, and prevents you from traveling even 5 minutes out of the City. A single gate, open at the whims of the occupying army, controls 100,000 residents. StopTheWall.orghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_West_Bank_barrier

Another Famous Graffiti Artist Keith Harring –AIDS AWARENESS

Website for Elementary: http://www.haringkds.com/index.htmlOfficial Website: http://www.haring.com

What Is Keith Haring saying in this artwork? Subjects message?

Haring's bold lines and active figures carry poignant messages of vitality and unity. His legacy made an impact on late 20th century art and grants us all a vision for the future.

ICON An ICON is particularly in

modern culture, a name, face, picture, edifice or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities: one thing, an image or depiction, that represents something else of greater significance through literal or figurative meaning, usually associated with religious, cultural, political, or economic standing.

Compare to the definition of a symbol.

TRACING TO CANVAS

TIPS FOR TRACING ONCE YOU START you

don’t stop until finished. Tape your transparency

lightly to the projector. TRACE EVERYTHING YOU

SEE! GO SLOW. DO YOUR BEST.

Paintings

Number all areas according to value. 1’s=white. Your largest number is black(6 usually).

Create a paint by number on both the canvas and the printout.

WHEN YOU PAINT - GET A GOOD CONDITION BRUSH. TAKE CARE OF IT.

Paint your black FIRST. Have a small dish of water to occasionally dip your brush into. Acrylic dries quickly.

Your black will need two coats. CLEAN UP ALL BRUSHES, PALLETTES, AND

TABLES!!!

Tips for PaintingPaintings

“Un”Birthday Box Project DUE

To learn about an artist, his or her time period, and learn what he/she would have valued in his/her lifetime.

To create a “box” using your own creativity and open-ended critical thinking skills.

TO BEGIN… Find a large square

box preferably lidded- boxes from reams of paper work great- ask at Office Max or your grocery stores. 

Decorate your box in the “Style” of your artist. It should be fabulous!!!

The BOX

To get an A: Neatly wrapped/decorated/painted box, with clever conceptual idea or very neatly done rendition of artist’s style/work. Artwork is rendered with care and precision. Presents inside show a deep understanding of the artist, and reflects a connection on a personal level. An index card accompanies each present, making the connection clear for the viewer. (Example: “TO: Monet FROM: Mrs. Steffl Happy Birthday! I know you are having difficulty seeing as you approach your 80th. It must be painful to paint your beautiful water-lilies when you can’t see properly. I hope these eyeglasses help!”) Presentation is outstanding, flawless, neat, and created with pride and care, idea is original and unique. Student may have “gone the extra mile” to create a birthday atmosphere - issuing invitations to staff.
