Art 1 Sketchbook Homework Due Thursday 9/6 or Friday 9/7

The following are examples from other middle school students found online. This is meant to help you in your planning and inspiration. You may use pencil, pen, or colored pencil, or a combination of either.

Art 2 & 3 Sketchbook Homework! DUE 9/13 & 9/14th!

Please remember that with the new block scheduling, some of you will be showing me your work on the 13th (Thursday) and others on the 14th (Friday).

You will create ONE, 2-page layout (either horizontal or vertical) depicting a moment from your summer experiences. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DRAW FROM A PHOTO. Normally, I'd like you to draw from real-life, in the flesh, but since summer has passed, I'm hoping you have pictures... even if you were lying around the house playing Fortnite.

AS ALWAYS, I will assess your work by the following benchmarks:

Completion

- Full coverage of blank space

- Drawn from personal photos

Composition

-Is the focal point is off-center? It should be.

-Drawing extends off the page on at least three sides

-More positive than negative space

Value

- At least 5-6 values present

-Shading shows appropriate textures

Craftsmanship

-Marks are intentional

-Details!!

-Time spent on work should equal to at least ONE HOUR or more.

Here are some examples found online for inspiration. I'm excited to see what you do!

ART 1 STUDY GUIDE FOR FINAL EXAM!

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.

• 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.")
