Creative Approaches to Making Art
Choose one object to use as a reference. Make 12 different
artworks with the same object.
Ways to change it~• Include art elements.• Change the composition. (design principles)• Use techniques with materials.• Change the style.• Change the medium. (art supply)• Use more than one medium.• Change the colors. (art elements)• Have fun and be creative with it. Experiment/ play.• Do more than one of these.• Background- scene/ pattern/ design/other?• Be adventurous! Make something up!
Art Elements
• Lines- squiggly, zig zag, thin/ thick, spiral• Shapes- circles, squares, octogon, stars, diamonds• Size- large, medium, small• Colors/ Colors Schemes- bright/ dull, analogous,
monochromatic,• Value- stippling• Texture-mark-making, string, rubbings, straw• Form- 3D relief• Space- balance, positive/ negative
Principles of Design
• Balance• Symmetry• Asymmetry• Focal Point• Center of Interest• Emphasis• Repetition• Contrast
• Radial Design• Movement• Transition• Pattern• Variety• Rhythm• Harmony• Unity
Composition
• Add variety. Different variations of same object.• Create a focus point.• Emphasize an area.• Size- Make it larger or smaller- zoom in/ crop it.• View- Change the angle that we view the object.• Placement- Move the object to a different space
in the composition• Create repetition- pattern• Add more objects or creative background.

• Expressionism• Contemporary artist influence• Painterly • Layering/ overlapping?• Abstract• Photo-realism• Rococo• Art Nouveau- Art Deco
Material Techniques
• Scribbling• Sew on buttons• Stitch on it• Shapes that don’t touch• Stylize it• Stippling• Sharpie on the back- bleed• Glue things on• 3D relief• Print multiples• Use a spray bottle• Cut holes glue something
underneath
• Oil pastel/ watercolor• Wrinkle the paper• See-thru paper• Cut it/ Rip it.• Scratch art• Drip paint• Straw blowing• Splatter paint• Flip artwork around as you
work on it• Stencils printed on it.• Resist with glue/ mod podge
Art Medium- (Materials)• Pencil• Colored Pencil• Oil Pastel• Pen & Ink• Acrylic• Watercolor• Oil Paint• Ball point pen• Metallics
• collage• Tissue paper• Chalk• Papier mache• Clay• Printmaking- stencils,
linoleum, callograph, monoprint, styrofoam
• Recycled paper• Charcoal pencil
Creative Approaches• Zoom in• On black paper• On newspaper• Continuous contour• Blind contour• Creative Mark-making• In a mandala• Patterned background• Blurry mostly then crisp in
some spots. Like a photograph
Loosely drawn and use watercolor wash to fill in. Overlap and imperfect
Draw/ Paint on the back of wallpaper
Add words/ text/ lettersOverlap elementsFade out gradually.Variety of stylesGlue strips on top.
Artists
• Keith Haring• Salvador Dali• Vincent Van Gogh• Andy Warhol• Thomas Cole• Claude Monet• Edvard Munch• Georgia O’keefe• Robert Raushenberg
Create 5 new approaches:• Use the same object or same theme of objects. (i.e.
different shoes)• How can you create a mini concentration?• How can they match and be unified?• How can you show your artistic ability and skills?• How can you experiment and be creative to create a
unique approach?• 12 artworks are due next Monday. Nov 21.• This packet is due Monday in the beginning of class. 5
artworks next week or you’ll be finishing for homework this weekend and next. Should have 6 by this Monday. Printing plate can be one.
