2nd Day Agenda

ObjectiveTo understand the word symbolism, find symbolic representations of yourself and to look for and understand the meaning of who you are and how it influences YOUR art.

To work on your communication skills of presentation and active listening.

Iconic/Symbolic Logos - Icons and symbols are compelling yet uncomplicated images that are emblematic of a particular company or product. They use imagery that conveys a literal or abstract representation of your organization. Symbols are less direct than straight text, leaving room for broader interpretation of what the organization represents. In order for a symbol to be a truly effective logo it should be:*Instantaneously recognizable.*Memorable.*Can be illustrative in nature, either concrete or abstract.

What is art??? You will define art individually for five

minutes. This definition will be shared with your group. Your group will collectively redefine the definition to the come up with a SUPER Art definition to be shared with the class on the boards

WE will discuss and take notes on a slideshow defining arts key concepts.

Collages hang and label your best one.

TextureTexture is the Element of Art that describes the feeling of the surface of an object. Texture can either be actual or implied. Actual texture is texture we can actually feel, implied texture is an illusion of texture that is strictly visual.

This is a picture of an actual rose. If we were at the scene of this picture, we could actually feel the petals of the roses, so its texture would be actual.

Since this is only a drawing or painting of a rose and it would be impossible to actually feel the petals of the roses in this artwork, its texture is implied.

Shading… Adding darkness to a

surface that is opposite of a real or imaginary light source adds depth to your drawing.

Shading is the key to a successful drawing.

OBJECTIVE

To learn and apply foundational drawing techniques to improve your artistic skill.

You will understand the four methods of shading and use them effectively in your art.

Intro To Drawing Contour Hand Drawings

The Contour LINE A contour is the line which defines a

form or edge - an outline. Contour drawing is the place where most beginners start, following the visible edges of a shape. The contour describes the outermost edges of a form, as well as dramatic changes of plane within the form. 'Blind contour drawing' is when contour drawing is done without looking at the paper.

Surrealism = Over/Beyond Realismhttp://youtu.be/KYIb9bjmTP4

http://www.thedali.org/

SurrealismSurrealism was one of the most important art movements of the twentieth century.While Impressionists and Cubists were very concerned with painting the way wesee—by blurring lines, or by showing an object from different sides at the sametime—the Surrealists were more concerned with painting how we really think.They wanted to discover a new reality by mixing dreams with the imagination to create strange and unusual paintings that allowed individual artists to express new emotions and that would make us think.

Surrealism began after World War I (in the 1920’s) when a group of artists inEurope decided to get away from everything that they thought resulted in thewar—all the governments, religions, philosophies, artistic styles, everything!They wanted to build a better world from the bottom on up and tried to do so bygetting in touch with the unconscious, that part of our brain that’s thinking andremembering even when we think it’s turned off. Much of the time, Dalí’sSurreal paintings look just like really odd photographs—done in the perfect andexact lines that the Impressionists and Cubists were trying to get away from! It’slike the Surrealists were saying their dreams were as real as anything else we cansee or hear in the world, so real they could even be photographed. If you payattention, you can still see the influence of Surrealism on TV, in music and in themovies. Can you come up with any examples off the top of your head?

Drawing on the RIGHT SIDE of THE BRAIN

Video Test

http://youtu.be/SFV6h6MXQkI

Left Brain

Excels at Math & SpellingNeatThink your artwork is awful, you can’t do it, or gives up easily thinking that’s good enough

Excel at 2pt perspective drawings, op art, architectural drawings.

Right BrainExcels at music, creative

writing and dramaLoses track of timeDaydreamsInvolved in the art process

without being critical of themselves

Creative mode is a quiet, peaceful environment

What does this have to do with drawing?When you were little the left side of your brain needed to organize the world around you and came up with symbols for everything.These are called schemas…

Over the years some of your schemas have gotten more complex, but they still do not represent exactly what you are seeing.

When you are drawing your brain struggles to draw the symbol your left brain has come up with, while the right side wants to draw what it actually sees.

This struggle between the two side can often be frustrating.

Learning to draw means learning to make a mental shift from the Left mode to Right mode.

There are some techniques that can help you learn which side of the brain to tune into…

One of them is drawing Upside Down…

Upside down Drawing This activity will be a easier for those

who are mostly Right Brained. Your left brain is the side that

recognizes the image when it is right side up. Therefore when we draw an image upside down the left brain is shut off and the right brain gets to work viewing the image as lines and shapes.

Picasso’s StravinskyThe image should be upside down at the top of your page.

Draw the image as you see it. (upside down)

Use Sighting-when you look at where something is in relation to something else.

Look at the shapes and spaces in-between items

Take your time and add all details.

To understand how artists use Composition and PLAN GOOD ART!

Why a grid ????

Using a grid is a helpful way to enlarge or reproduce a picture. It aids the artist in the placement of the different elements that compose the picture. By working with a grid, you will have an easier time getting the proportions correct. This is also a way artist engage the Right-mode of the brain to be more creative.

Final Choice GraphiteDrawing

Why a GRID?

Using a grid is a helpful way to enlarge or reproduce a picture. It aids the artist in the placement of the different elements that compose the picture. By working with a grid, you will have an easier time getting the proportions correct.

How to Begin…What You Need Please choose something more

difficult than you would normally try to draw freehand because the grid system will help more than you may realize. No line drawings or cartoon characters!

To receive full credit, your drawing must have at least four values present (white can be one of them).

Helpful terminology:  Value: Element of art that deals with lightness or

darkness. Depends on how much light a surface reflects.

  Contrast: To place and arrange values or colors so

as to set off or bring out noticeable differences.

Highlights: Small white areas that show the surfaces of the subject that reflect the most light.

Shadows: Shaded areas in a drawing. They show the surfaces of the subject that reflect the least lights. They are used to create the illusion of form (three-dimensional reality).

Step 1:Step 1: Choose your original. This

can be a photograph, a picture in a magazine, a CD cover, etc. Please pick something smaller than 5 X 7” or crop a larger picture to this size. No cartoons or line drawings as this exercise is also to help you gain practice shading and using different values.

Graffiti Art & The Art of Banksy…

What is Graffiti ? The name for images or lettering

scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti has existed since ancient times dating back to the Roman Empire 400 b.c.

What Color scheme has this graffiti artist used?

What is“graffiti”?Words or pictures scrawled or scratched in public places, particularly on wall – it could be political messages, personal notes, advertising, etc. Generally, most people associate graffiti

with vandalism and unauthorized defacing of property. However, there are artists that are recognized and have brought graffiti to a level that is somewhat accepted in the Art community. Although graffiti is a new Art movement, it has existed since 400 B.C.

Graffiti…Legal IMPLICATIONS In modern times, paint, particularly spray

paint, and marker pens have become the most commonly used graffiti mediums (mediums are what we make art with).

VANDALISM: marking or painting property without the property owner's consent is considered defacement, which is a punishable crime.

Is it ART or is it CRIME? Sometimes graffiti

expresses social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic expression is based upon spray paint graffiti styles. To some, it is an art form worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions; to others it is merely vandalism.

Graffiti in PompeiiThe best preserved examples of ancient graffiti exist in Pompeii. On the walls of the city they have found crudely written declarations of love, insults, caricatures, and political messages.Much of the graffiti found deals with love and . The earliest example of graffiti found in Pompeii is a heart-like symbol, a handprint, a footprint and a number.

Caricature found in Pompeii …

Modern Graffiti

Many people associate modern

graffiti with Hip-Hop culture. However, it predates hip-hop by

almost a decade.

How illegal is it to vandalize a wall, asks Banksy? Answer:

In his website introduction to his Wall project, if the wall itself has been deemed unlawful by the International Court of Justice? The Israeli government is building a wall surrounding the occupied Palestinian territories. It stands three times the height of the Berlin wall and will eventually run for over 700km - the distance from London to Zurich. The International Court of Justice last year ruled the wall and its associated regime is illegal. It essentially turns Palestine into the world’s largest open-air prison.

The West Wall Project

The Wall is around Qalqiliya. A twenty-five foot high concrete cage cuts residents off from their agricultural land, necessary for their survival, and prevents you from traveling even 5 minutes out of the City. A single gate, open at the whims of the occupying army, controls 100,000 residents. StopTheWall.orghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_West_Bank_barrier

Website for Elementary: http://www.haringkds.com/index.htmlOfficial Website: http://www.haring.com

What Is Keith Haring saying in this artwork? Subjects message?

Haring's bold lines and active figures carry poignant messages of vitality and unity. His legacy made an impact on late 20th century art and grants us all a vision for the future.

ICON An ICON is particularly in modern

culture, a name, face, picture, edifice or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities: one thing, an image or depiction, that represents something else of greater significance through literal or figurative meaning, usually associated with religious, cultural, political, or economic standing.
