Art 7, 8 & 9 Griffin 2014-2015

Curricular Objectives Art 7 Describing the planes and volumes of forms is one of the purposes of drawing Lines can vary in direction, location, quality, emphasis, movement, and mood. Value in drawing is affected by the qualities of surfaces and the quality of light. Texture as the character of a surface can be depicted in drawing by the arrangement of lines and marks.
3
Curricular Objectives Art 8 Shapes may be organic or geometric The size of depicted figures or objects locates those objects in relationship to the ground or the picture frame. Overlapping figures or objects create an illusion of space in 2 dimensional works. Techniques and media that the students have used to make their images can be identified and described.
4
Curricular Objectives Art 9 Careful observation of form and its surface qualities is necessary for the realistic recording of objects. The illusion of depth is created party by the kinds of lines and marks used in creating an image. A consideration of balance and contrast may be applied to drawings that depict forms in nature. Variation of form: natural objects exhibit wide variation of form within a single type.

Lesson 1 Introduction to Still Life
7
Focus Questions What is a still life? Why do artists draw/paint still lives? What are the different styles/methods that can portray a still life?
8
What is a still Life? A still life is a work of art depicting inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, flowers, dead animals, plants, rocks, or shells) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, and so on).
9
Artist’s have been studying still lives for (literally) thousands of years. Still life's are a great way for artists to practice basic drawing skills such as shape, proportion, dimension, value, colours, etc. Glass bowl of fruit and vases. Roman wall painting in Pompeii from around 70 AD

There are many different styles of still life's

Lesson 2 Peanut Still Life assignment
27
I can statements: I can crop into a still life to create a dynamic composition that is balanced and has three sides activated. I can describe how a light source affects objects and the background of a still life I can use contrast and a full range of values to create depth I can use shading techniques to create contrast and a sense of volume I can discuss an art piece using appropriate art vocabulary I can use value, light, atmosphere and colour to create mood and to illustrate the proximity of objects
28
Minimum Requirements 3 sides of your paper activated At least 3 peanuts drawn Use of overlap in the still life A light source that is identifiable and consistent Transitions between light, medium, and dark tones.
37
Materials Peanut still life: 18x24 Black construction paper White, brown, and black chalk pastels Peanuts Aprons
38
Set up: All tables should be cleared off with bags and binders placed in the next room
40
What is color? A ray of light is the source of all color It is perceived by the eye and interpreted by the brain It is an internal sensation expressed when colored light waves stimulate the eye
41
What is Color Theory? A system of rules and guidance for mixing various colors, in order to: Create visually pleasing designs Produce maximum readability & clarity Use cultural associations to effect meaning
42
The Color Wheel The basic tool we use when working with color
43
Primary Colors Red, Yellow & Blue
44
Secondary Colors Orange, green and purple Made by mixing equal amounts of two primary colors
45
Tertiary Colors Red-orange, red-violet, blue-green, blue- violet, yellow-green, and yellow-orange Made by mixing an equal amount of a primary color and a secondary color
46
Neutral Colors Are colors not found on the color wheel White, black, grey, brown, beige, tan, and cream
47
Warm Colors Reds, yellows, and oranges Create feelings of warmth, activity, and excitement
48
Cool Colors Blues, purples, and greens Create feelings of coolness, calmness, and relaxation
49
Cool Colors Blues, purples, and greens Create feelings of coolness, calmness, and relaxation
50
Warm and Cool Colors
51
Color Harmony Harmony can be defined as a pleasing arrangement of parts, whether it is music, poetry, color, or even an ice cream sundae. Something pleasing to the eye Engages the viewer and creates a sense of order – balance If it’s not harmonious – it’s boring! However, too much can be chaotic – the viewer can’t stand to look at it!
52
Analogous Colors Any three colors which are side by side on the 12 part color wheel Usually one of the color predominates
53
Complementary colors Any two colors which are directly opposite each other, such as red and green and red- purple, and yellow-green. Here there are several variations of yellow-green in the leaves and several variations of red-purple in the orchid. These opposing colors create maximum contrast and maximum stability.

Conclusion Color theory Color wheel Primary, Secondary, & Tertiary colors Neutral, Warm & Cool colors Color Harmony Analogous & Complementary colors
57
Radish Still Life
58
I can statements: I can crop into a still life to create a dynamic composition that is balanced and has three sides activated. I can describe how a light source affects objects and the background of a still life I can use contrast and a full range of values to create depth I can use shading techniques to create contrast and a sense of volume I can discuss an art piece using appropriate art vocabulary I can use value, light, atmosphere and colour to create mood and to illustrate the proximity of objects
59
Vocabulary Contrast: placing dark tones next to light tones to help the lights pop out. This creates a greater sense of depth and volume. Light/Mid/Dark Tones: using values that span from very light to very dark, this helps the work to feel complete. Activation: where an image or lines go out of the picture frame Light source: an identifiable and consistent stream of light that falls across a still life, portrait, or landscape, casting shadows and creating highlights. Overlapping: objects drawn in front and behind others to create a sense of depth
60
Minimum Requirements 3 sides of your paper activated At least 3 radishes drawn Use of overlap in the still life A light source that is identifiable and consistent Transitions between light, medium, and dark tones.
61
Materials Radish Still Life: 18x24 construction paper You have the choice of using: Red paper, red, green, and white chalk pastel Blue paper, blue, orange and white chalk pastel. Yellow paper, purple, yellow, and white pastel
62
Art Supplies Still Life
69
Art Supplies Still Life: For this assignment you are to draw art supplies from the art room using chalk pastel. Split into groups of 4(ish) You will need a minimum of 10 items of variable sizes. Choose from around the art room. You will also need a drawing board.
71
Arrange your art supplies onto the drawing board
72
Make marks on the board around the items just in case they get moved.
73
Time to start drawing! Grab a drawing board and a piece of black construction paper and sit where you would like to draw. Use a white pastel pencil to lightly sketch the contour of the objects. After you are done sketching, start colouring in! Don’t forget your light source and shadows!
74
Minimum Requirements: Min. 10 objects 3 sides activated Light source Shadows
