1. Creative Approaches to Making Art Choose one object to use as a reference. Make 12 different artworks with the same object.

2. 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!

3. 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

4. Principles of Design Balance Symmetry Asymmetry Focal Point Center of Interest Emphasis Repetition Contrast Radial Design Movement Transition Pattern Variety Rhythm Harmony Unity

5. 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.

6. Styles Realism Cubism Impressionism Mark-making Add designs Folk art Renaissance Baroque Minimalism Pop Art Surrealism Cultural influences- chinese, egyptian, greek, native american, etc… Expressionism Contemporary artist influence Painterly Layering/ overlapping? Abstract Photo-realism Rococo Art Nouveau- Art Deco

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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/ letters Overlap elements Fade out gradually. Variety of styles Glue strips on top.

10. Artists Keith Haring Salvador Dali Vincent Van Gogh Andy Warhol Thomas Cole Claude Monet Edvard Munch Georgia O’keefe Robert Raushenberg

12. 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.
