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:

Intro To Gesture Drawing 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.

Gesture Drawing – The essence of a subject

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

Draw two accurately drawn eyes from images given in class. (Draw BIG).

Draw your eye from life using a still life mirror.

Together On your own

How we see…

The eye Process of 'Seeing'

Both the eyes have slightly different fields of vision since they are separated by the nose. Each of these visual fields are divided into the right and left side. The following diagram clearly shows the structure of the human eye and what happens when an object is looked at. Not only do the two eyes see different angles of the object but each individual eye takes in different information, due to the different visual fields. The diagram has given two different colors to the different visual fields to make the process more understandable. Signals from the left visual fields of both eyes are sent to the right visual cortex and vice versa. The information received at one eye is incomplete since only one part of the image is available, therefore both eyes immediately send their information to the brain, so that the information can be combined.

the hour. This will be our base line for your growth as an artist when drawing the face. Use of class time and effort are worth 5 pts of this. I am not offering help because I want to see where your understanding is at. Have fun. Do your best!

portraits and self-portraits. In 1988, at the peak of his career,

Close became paralyzed. He regained partial use of his arms, and was able to return to painting after developing techniques which allowed him to work from a wheelchair.

Artist Chuck Close is a wonderful example of an individual who has valued his abilities and who has used his abilities in his own best way. By not letting paralysis or being in a wheelchair stop his already successful career as an artist, Close demonstrates how a "can-do" attitude and approach to life can help us overcome obstacles in order to create even greater possibilities than before.

This 2002 portrait of his niece Emma is actually a woodcut print based on a painting in Close's late signature style. Chuck spent three months on the painting; master printer Yasu Shibata spent two years carving 27 wodblocks to print 113 colors 132 times to make each print. Every aspect of the process is like a miraculous innovation, beginning with Close's secret for getting a toddler to sit still for three whole months.

Drawing Vocabulary

Final Portrait Drawing

Self Portraits Notes Drawing Vocabulary Choose Portrait to draw from. Computer Lab

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).

Studio Time Purpose/Objective (What is the point?)

You will demonstrate your understanding of the proportions of the human face, shading and value by applying realism and accuracy to a personal self portrait.

Portrait drawings Do your best Work with contour lines first, then eyes, and

other features can be completed. Hair should be last along with clothing.

Wasily Kandinskyhttp://youtu.be/BxGG1DtVbW0

WasilyKandinsky 1866-1944 Russian painter, considered the father of

the art movement called abstract expressionism.

Kandinsky & Abstract Art

Abstraction 20th Century Art Movement “Works of art that reframe nature for expressive effect

are called abstract. Art that derives from, but does not represent, a recognizable subject is called nonrepresentational or nonobjective abstraction.” National Gallery of Art (2006)

Abstract visual expression in this art movement coincided with changes in science and technology; changes in cities; new lighting, automotive vehicles, and skyscraper buildings; along with Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory; and Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.

Artists associated with the abstract movement include:

Alexander Calder; Marsden Hartley; Max Weber; John Marin; Georgia O’Keefe ; Arthur Dove ; Jackson Pollock; Barnett Newman; Roy Lichtenstein; Jim Dine; Frank Stella; and Robert Rauschenberg.

Objective(s):

The student(s) will: •View works of art considered abstract and examples

of fine art by artists like Wasily Kandinsky. Discuss the symbolism in art and the messages

within this art form. Examine how art is all around us- in the views we see

daily. Brainstorm ideas for creating their own emotion

based abstract art. • Students will create their own mixed media

painting based on their Elements & Emotions grid.

“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 BOXTo 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.
