Portfolio Project: Musical Response Pick a song that has a strong mood.

While you listen to it, you will respond to it by drawing. In your sketchbook, create 3 practise responses. Somehow you must incorporate your first and last name into your design.

Focus on the different rhythms, tonal changes, pitch, harmony, and complexity.

Portfolio Project: Musical Response You will pick your best response from your sketchbook,

and transfer it onto your Portfolio. You may use coloured pencils, markers, and oil pastels.

You will be marked on these categories: Creativity – unique images, no copying (10 pts) Complexity/ Detail – layers (background), blended

colours, fill the space (10 pts) Neatness – no accidental smudges, tears or wrinkles

(10 pts)

Your Inspirations

No artist works alone.

Use your sketchbook to record the artists who inspire you.

Cut out pictures, jot down ideas and quotes, doodle!

Still Life Project You will experiment with 3 types of drawing to build up your

confidence.

You will create a still life, incorporating at least 3 different objects.

After practise using calligraphy pens, you will create value using ink!

GOALS: To create chiaroscuro (extreme contrast between light and

dark) To make objects look 3D

Types of Drawing Gesturebasic shapes

Contour outlines only

Valuerealism using

shading

How to Create Value

Graded value (blended shading; using pencil)

Hatching (lines go in one direction)

Cross-hatching (lines go in 2 directions)

Stippling (lots of dots)

Using India ink

It stains! Be careful! Clean all spills immediately!

Demonstrations:

hatching / cross-hatching all applicable to stippling watercolours also masking

Practise drawing and shading basic objects with pen & ink.

Artist’s Statement: Still Life

1)Why did you choose to draw these objects?

1)How successful were you in portraying the still life realistically? Explain how certain areas could have been better.

1)Explain what you enjoyed or didn't enjoy in this project? Explain what you found difficult.

Architectural Comparisons Joseph Paxton’s Crystal Palace,

London, UK 1851

Walter Gropius’ Bauhaus, Dresden, Germany 1928

Architectural ComparisonsCrystal Palace

Built with cast iron and glass

New technology allowed it to use more glass than ever before

Didn't need lights

Built for the Great Exhibition of 1851, an international event to show off new technologies of the Industrial Revolution.

Bauhaus

A German school of crafts and fine arts

This style influenced Modern architecture in its lack of ornamentation and its harmony between the purpose of the building and the design.

Simple design; usefulness was more important than beauty.

Architectural ComparisonsModernism Less is more! SIMPLICITY Focus on function Lots of glass and metal

(born out of the Industrial Revolution)

Very little ornamentation Smooth faced (don’t even

have window ledges)

Seagram Building, NYC, 1958

Architectural Comparisons

F.L.Wright’s Falling Water, Bear Run, PA 1936

Architectural ComparisonsPostmodernism Less is a bore! Return of “wit, ornament, and reference” Diverse styles (anything goes) – individual

expression! Design for its own sake (not just for

function) New ways of viewing familiar structures

Architectural Design

Design your own building for whatever purpose you want. (Keep it appropriate)

Incorporate 2 characteristics from the architectural periods that we’ve studied.

Draw your building using 2 - Point Perspective.

One-Point Perspective Creates the illusion of deep space.

The illusion is created by using a vanishing point & guidelines.

Either lines are vertical or they connect to your vanishing point.

One-Point Perspective: Example

Two-Point Perspective Creates the illusion of deep space that starts at a

corner.

The illusion is created by using two vanishing points & guidelines.

Either lines are vertical or they connect to one of your vanishing points.

Demo (lines on the right side right v.p. lines on the left side left v.p.)
