CHECK LIST FOR ALL PROJECTS TO BE PRESENTED FOR JURIES - JANUARY 2016

Please have all projects ready for presentations for Juries. Below is a an overview/checklist of all Projects that were to be completed for presentation.

Juries will be a final grade as well as all your sketch book assignments and appropriate deadlines met on time over the first semester.

GOOD LUCK! any questions just text me or download "whats app". I will be in france from December 20-January 2, 2016.

you need a minimum of 23 individual pieces for 2-d art, and present your 2 coconut grove paintings in progress so that we can all give you proper feedback on both paintings.

ALL assignments are on the blog so look back for specific instructions. no excuses.

- line weight projects: total: 3 - ink on paper - (1 in 4 sections in 1 sheet, 1 geometric, 1 organic sheet)

- Shapes, figure/ground relationships: total: 3 - 9"x9" black and white cut outs with construction paper. Stable, Ambiguous, Reversible. Based on 25% blk,  50% blk, 75% blk.

- Value studies in graphite pencil - total 3 - 6"x9" paper.

- Grayscale self-portraits in Paint. total: one. but you can do more using other hues and their values.

- 3 value scale compositions: red, blue, gray on 6x7 or 6x6 cut paper

- 3 formal value scales with 11 values in : red, blue, gray. total of 11 1"x2" mounted on strip in equal increments of approx 10% from black-white, blue-white, red-white. mounted on 4x13 white page with 1" borders all around.

- Platonic solids sculpture color theory project 

- 3 6x6 color relationship compositions (same compositions repeated 3 times using different color relations) choose from analogous, split-complimentary, double complimentary, triad, monochromatic.

Different composition using same color theory concepts:
- Design an additional 3 6x6 color relationship compositions (use that same composition repeated 3 times using different color relations) choose from analogous, split-complimentary, double complimentary, triad, monochromatic.

- Must present your 2 paintings for coconut grove in juries as well for review and feedback. you will be graded on this as well. must be pretty far along in order to give feedback.

You should have 23 pieces in total and your 2 coconut grove paintings and any additional work you would like to present. 

Please please refine, redo and resolve your body of work. all must be carefully crafted cleaned up and mounted according to what we spoke about. you may have to get some larger sheets of mounting paper from either Walgreens, CVS, office depot, stables, blick, artarama, artist and craftsmen, any store close to you that is reasonably priced.

You are also encouraged to create additional works relating to the class and present any work that you may have done that you would like us to look at. But all class assignments and additional assignments related to my class will be considered over the extra work.

If you had Mr. Travieso, you are also encouraged to produce more pieces if necessary. IF you are behind in my class, I expect to see all finished projects. If I don't see all projects fully resolved and presented, you will be graded according to the missing projects.

All Projects are ago be present from the first ones assigned at the beginning of semester through the final ones.

Below is the sample of the GRID for the Value scales. you need to me sure and cut the 2"x11" support strip to glue your swatches and also mount them on the 4"x13" thicker mounting board with a 1" boarder all around as we had done in class. if you have questions please communicate with your class mates during the break.

PROJECT 08 - COLOR RELATIONSHIP COMPOSITIONS USING COLOR WHEEL (COLOR THEORY)

DUE DATES: 
Monday/Tuesday, December 14th and 15th

IMPORTANT: You will do another series of three 6"x6" during the holiday break.
Both series of 3 designs will be presented for JURIES.

Create a series of 3 dynamic compositions (3 of the same). SELECT 3 DIFFERENT COLOR RELATIONSHIPS FROM The COLOR WHEEL FOR EACH ONE. Composition stays the same. color combinations change on each 6x6 drawing. 

Select 3 color relations out of 5 choices below. Identify the color relationship and the original hue and write the information on the back of each composition: 
analogous, monochromatic, split complimentary, double complimentary, triad.

Select an image or close up of image from nature that has detailed areas of interest where you can see different design elements in the shapes of the image. composition can be inspired from your own mind or inspired from the shapes of images that exist in nature. Look at the details. explore, look beyond just the simple image of, i.e…  a flower. Deconstruct the shapes and details, make them work together, reconstruct, interpret the shapes and create your own design. Nature has many dynamic shapes that can inspire ideas. Interpret and recreate your own version. You can use cropping L's or form a square with your hands to focus in and search for select areas in the image. The cropping is to show how scale works in relation to the page size which is 6"x6". Look beyond the actual literal image and interpret the shapes and apply to your drawing. Be creative and inspired.
You will be creating three of the same compositions with 3 different color relationships.

THREE (3) Color Relationship Studies will be chosen from the Color Wheel. 

ALL questions can be answered from these links below.

PLEASE READ AND RESEARCH!

Create three repetitive compositions on 6”x 6” paper using three different color relationships from the color wheel. Repeat same composition on each one. Using paints, execute your compositions using your chosen color relationships, use the pure saturated colors and their shades, tones and tints. you may use white or grays to lighten or desaturate the colors (muted colors). do not over use too much black to drown out the color.

To choose your color relationship, you will select your main hue as starting point and from that point, you will analyze and develop its relationships according to the color wheel. YOU must refer to the color wheel and the examples from the different combinations from the color wheel posted from the blog. Go back to the reference material on the color theory chapter of the blog. YOU MUST LEARN THE COLOR WHEEL AND ALL ITS RELATIONSHIPS.

CHOOSE THREE out of 5 COMBINATIONS OF RELATIONSHIPS: 

Start anywhere on the color wheel, but you must respect the color relationships that are created from the main hue chosen. DO not deviate from the color selections. Where do the colors fall when using each relationship. you are to stick to them but can use pure color and incorporate the shades, tones and tints of that particular hue.

     - Complimentary colors (Split or Double complimentary)

     - Analogous colors

     - Monochromatic colors

     - Triad

 Process / RECAP

•  Sketch out 6-8 thumbnails for your desired composition. Experiment with pencil and play with color
    in your sketchbook so you can explore different relationships and color combinations.
•  Write down your 3 final color relation selections and their proper color.
•  Select the strongest composition to execute your final 6”x 6” painting.

•  Consult with teacher for final selection of strongest concepts.

Again you will be graded on understanding of how to use color wheel and and it's color relationships, creativity, aesthetics, craftsmanship, use of color variations, range of values, hierarchy of shapes in your design, harmony within the composition. Clean edges, solid, flat colors, no shading. brush strokes. Be clean and neat.

Materials

• White Bristol 6”x6” format (3 final paintings)

• Paint with a wide range of values from the pure saturated colors including the tints tones and shades. All solid, flat colors. no blending. clean, well defined shapes. be aware of clean edges. clean shapes.
• Mounted as a series on white or black board, centered, with 1" margins

Check Georgia O’Keefe's work

Students Samples:

Focus on the individual compositions. look at repetition and the different color selections and how they are used. This is past work from prior 9th grade classes. Study them.
