ART 1 FINAL ASSESSMENT STUDY GUIDE AND SCHEDULE

The final exam for Art 1 will most likely be the last week of school (They have not released the schedules yet). But in anticipation of the quiz, I'm including a link to the study guide that you can print or study electronically. You will be asked to label an empty color wheel, and you will also be asked to label what Primary, Secondary, Intermediate, warm colors, cool colors, and complimentary colors. You will also need to know both the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design.

ART 1 FINAL ASSESSMENT STUDY GUIDE

The Final Assessment Schedule for ART 1 is as follows:

Periods 1 & 5: MAY 30th (THURSDAY)

Periods 2 & 4: MAY 31st (FRIDAY)

ART SHOW: Visual Voices Student Show is COMING!

ART 2 & 3: Concentration Concepts DUE 4/4 or 4/5

• You are to develop a group of works connected by a common theme, or CONCENTRATION.

• Over the course of the 4th 9 weeks, you will produce FOUR (4) W.O.W. art pieces that are all connected by an overall theme. These themes can be based on a chosen material/medium and/or subject matter and/or skill. 

• This is a great opportunity for you to explore something YOU REALLY LIKE. This is your chance to show off your best work and best skills, using your favorite materials

Requirements for Sketchbook HW due THURSDAY 4/4/19 or FRIDAY 4/5/19:

You will write a paragraph (4-6 full sentences) describing your overall concept (concentration).
You are to include:

• Concept (ex: "I want to explore the concept of sleep and rest in someone's life." or "I want to do a concentration based on people swimming underwater." or "My concentration will be based on my love of cycling." 

• WHY you chose it/ your inspiration (ex: "I have always been interested in the concept of fear, and how it can be equally bad and good in one's life." or "I am inspired by the contour work of several professional artists that I have researched online, and want to explore how contour line drawing can express a lot in very little detail.")

• Methods/skills/media (art materials) being used. (ex: "I plan on using mixed media, mixing acrylic and images from photographs." or "I plan on exploring scratch board as my medium, where I can focus on using lines for values and detailing.")

• Discuss size of work planned (does not have to be specific. ex: "I plan to develop pieces that grow in size from about 8x10" to 3'x5'")... ALL WORK NEEDS TO BE 8"x8" OR LARGER!

• You are also to include at least two thumbnail sketches (rough, basic, small in size) that show some of you composition (layout) ideas.

• You are encouraged to also add an "inspiration wall" in your sketchbook which can include, but is not limited to: fabric swatches, sketches, magazines images, photos, words, poetry, etc... ANYTHING that will help your research and inspiration to come up with your ideas. :)
