1. Art 7, 8 & 9 Griffin 2014-2015

2. 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.

6. 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

26. 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.

54. 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
