Perspective

One point perspective is a drawing method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single 'vanishing point' on the horizon line. It is a way of drawing objects upon a flat piece of paper (or other drawing surface) so that they look three-dimensional and realistic

As a class we are going to practice creating one point perspective boxes with changing vanishing points. 

 All of you will be writing your name and turning it into a 1 point perspective block letter name

Today's ART LESSON

balance batik

Batik - is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth, or cloth made using this technique.

 Creating your design . You will be graded on your "balanced design" 
Balance- even distribution of visual weight
Examples- 

Balance in art is defined as the equal distribution of visual weight in a composition. All the elements (line, shape, color, etc) in that composition look stable or have a feeling of balance (like one side is not heavier than the other). - See more at: http://www.incredibleart.org/lessons/high/balance-paper-collage.html#sthash.V6KlKLvi.dpuf

Louise Nevelson

Louise Nevelson (September 23, 1899 – April 17, 1988) was an American sculptor known for her monumental, monochromatic, wooden wall pieces and outdoor sculptures. Born in Czarist Russia, she emigrated with her family to the United States in the early 20th century. Nevelson learned English at school, as she spoke Yiddish at home.
 Nevelson experimented with early conceptual art using found objects, and dabbled in painting and printing before dedicating her lifework to sculpture. Usually created out of wood, her sculptures appear puzzle-like, with multiple intricately cut pieces placed into wall sculptures or independently standing pieces, often 3-D.

x- mas bulbs

Analogous (uh-NAL-uh-gus) colors sit next to each other on the color wheel. They tend to look pleasant together because they are closely related. Orange, yellow-orange, and yellow are an example of analogous colors

 Each of us are going to be creating 3 Christmas bulbs on white paper. To color them we are going to pick 3 analogous colors from the color wheel to watercolor our bulbs. 
TOMORROW we will be using scissors to cut our our colored bulbs and placing them on black paper. You need to think where you want your bulbs displayed.

Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.  The celebration takes place on November 1 and 2.
 People go to cemeteries to be with the souls of the departed and build private altars containing the favorite foods and beverages, as well as photos and memorabilia, of the departed. The intent is to encourage visits by the souls, so the souls will hear the prayers and the comments of the living directed to them. Celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember funny events and anecdotes about the departed.

 

We will be creating clay sugar skulls. A clay demonstration will be given on how to make 3D / flat skulls.
