Playing Card Design

PreAP/DRAW 3- Students are creating their own Playing cards. They will then use Ink and Watercolor to complete them. They are loving this idea. 

Watercolor continued

Watercolor Project

ART ONE students have been creating a Design Graph for their Watercolor Project. As you see in the picture, they were to create a 3 inch grid on Manilla paper. They were to draw 3 seperate ideas across the top and then 3 along the side. I suggested Lines then Shapes. After they have done this, they are to combine their ideas to create designs. They are to then add more elements to the squares. 

After they have done their Graph (Formative Grade), they are to select one of their squares and apply that design onto Watercolor Paper, for their project (Summative grade). 

I will be doing a Watercolor Demonstration on different techniques they could apply to their project, on Wednesday. There is no Color criteria, just to be creative and have fun. 

Grades!

Grades have been updated!!! I've posted them for you to view once you return on Monday. I see LOTS of highlighted ID numbers. Please do yourself a favor and see what is missing and get it turned in.

Week of March 30

Today and Wednesday we have STAAR testing on our Campus. English 1 & 2. We in art class however will be starting a new project in Art 1 and Continuing a project in my Upper Levels.

NO WORRIES if you miss class or instructions to the projects due to testing. I will get you caught up to speed once you return and I will give plenty of time to get these done. 

RADIAL DESIGN- Art ones were introduced to this project this past Friday with Step 1, which is Brainstorm. They are to brainstorm and complete a handout with 5 blank triangles on it. 

Today, I introduced Step 2- take your favorite from the 5 triangles and trace that design onto a piece of square tracing paper, onto 1 triangle. (fold tracing paper in 1/2 3 times)

I will go over the other steps throughout the week. 5 steps total. 

PreAP & Draw 3 - They are continuing their Creative Free Draw projects. I am projecting this to be due this Friday, however, if I see they are needing more time to finish up their masterpieces, I will extend it. 

Testing Schedule and Displaced class lists have been posted on my calendar!!!!!
