Method (Group Collaborative Work)

Each group will have 10 members

Each group will assign a leader and the leader will be given a picture that the group will recreate;

It is the leader who will assign the “portion” each member will do; a maximum of 3 portions can be given to a member by the leader; Leaders will submit the names and portion each member will do in a ½ crosswise yellow paper.

Members will sketch their design and paint according to the work given. No other member can do the work

Criteria:

Technical craftmanship 10 pts Individual Effort (5 pts)

Group Effort (completeness) 10 pts

Creative Output 6:

Sculpture Bust Making

Students will bring their own modeling clay with a

uniform color (3 boxes of 12 inches length any brand)

acrylic paint and brushes

Other materials will be provided by the teacher;

Materials: 16 gauge wire, long nose pliers, improvised

sculpting tools, pre-drilled wood, flat black spray paint

Understanding the Grid

Grid Method

A method for enlarging a small design (a

"bozzetto") to a full size cartoon for a large

mosaic. It involves drawing a grid of squares

over the small picture.

Also called Grid Technique or Squaring Up

A Brief HistoryIn Egypt, they made use of a Canon of Proportion (a

precise measurement of a body) that allows little

individuality. The forehead is measured on the 18th box

and the belly button is at the 11th box.

A Brief HistoryThe Canon is a theoretical

work that discusses ideal mathematical proportions for the parts of the human body and proposes for sculpture of the human figure a dynamic counterbalance—between the relaxed and tensed body parts and between the directions in which the parts move. ("Polykleitos")

Polykleitos created his method around 450 BCE and called it “The Canon” coming from the Greek word kanon meaning measure, rule, or law.

Technique and Execution

1 Pick your image. The image this article will be

using as an example is this image from a Calvin

and Hobbes cartoon.

Technique and Execution2 Choose your drawing paper. It should be scaled to the size of your original print.

For example, if you have an image that's 8.5" x 11" (21.4cm x 28cm), then scale the drawing paper size accordingly (i.e. 17" X 22" (43cm x 56cm) (two times), 4.25" x 5.5" (10.7cm x 14cm) (0.5x)). In this article, you will be making a 1:1 scale drawing (8.5" x 11"/21.4cm x 28cm) for the sake of side-by-side comparison.

In the picture on the right, you can see the two pieces of 8.5" x 11" paper. The top is your reference image, and the bottom is your drawing paper.

Technique and Execution3 Mark the edges of the reference picture at equal intervals. For this How-To, you will be using one-inch (2.5cm) intervals. In the end, you should have equally spaced marks along the edges of your paper.

If you were using one-inch markings, there will be a half-inch (1.27cm) marking at either the upper or lower half of the drawing, since the length (or height, if flipped in the example) is only 8.5"/21.4 centimeter (8.4 in).

Technique and Execution4 Connect the opposing

marks with a ruler. These

connected lines will form a

grid pattern, hence the name

"Grid method".

5 Make the same exact grid

pattern on your drawing

paper. In the end, you should

have something similar to the

image provided.

Technique and Execution6 Once this is complete, number each box for both your reference picture and drawing paper, starting with the top left corner. If done correctly, you should have 99 separate boxes. The product should look like a long calendar.

7 Now it is time to begin drawing. Begin wherever you want. In this image, you'll see the original artist started in Hobbes's armpit (Box 23).

Technique and Execution

8 So draw...

9 And draw...

10 Complete the drawing. It may as exact as you would like. For pictures that are the same size (1:1), you can use a light box. However, if you are making a poster, try making smaller boxes.

For example, if you're taking this image and making it twice the original size (2:1), you could have 1" (2.5cm) boxes on the original image, and 2" (5cm) boxes on the big poster. You could also make 0.5" boxes on the original image, and then have 1" (2.5cm) boxes on your big poster. The important thing is to keep everything scaled.
