Lantern Line Drawing

Drawing from observation, students developed contour line drawings of a still life set up with multiple lights and
lanterns. Students then explored different ways to use line designs in their negative space to add depth and interest
in their drawings.

Composition- Defined positive & negative space to create a balanced composition

Positive Space- Contour Lines are detailed and show accurate proportion

Negative Space- Line Designs show variety & creativity with sharpie pen

Effort- Took time to develop the idea & complete the project

Craftsmanship- Neat, clean & complete

Line Drawings of Common Objects

Drawing from observation, students developed contour line drawings of common objects using pen on paper.
Students also explored different ways to use line designs in pencil to add depth and interest in their drawings.

Is there balance in the composition?

Does the drawing include at least 3 contour line drawings of the object at different angles and scales?

Are the contour line drawings of the object detailed, and display accurate proportion?

Is there a variety of line?

Is there depth and space in the drawing?

Does the piece reflect care, craftsmanship, and creativity?

Symbolic Self Portrait

Each student collected objects that symbolized themself either literally or metaphorically. They then arranged the
objects into a still life thinking about how the objects interacted and overlapped. Students placed a direct light
source on their still life to help them see shadows better. Next they began drawing their still life using a viewfinder
to enlarge their objects. Different shading techniques were studied and practiced in each of the compositions.
Emphasis was placed balance, value, form, space, and depth.

Composition- How did this artist plan their artwork so that it is a strong composition?
Value- How did the artist create the illusion of form in their drawing?

Space- How did the artist create a sense of depth in their drawing?

Content- How do you think the objects in the drawing symbolize the artist?

Craftsmanship- How did the artist employ the techniques we have been working on in class and overall
presentation of their work?

Color Still Life Sculpture

Students created small individual sculptures with colored paper, glue, yarn,and blocks. After learning to use color
to create different values students drew their sculpture from observation using Prismacolor Art Stix. Students drew
two different views of their sculpture to create a diptych.

Do the compositions balance?

Was the artist careful with proportion and details?

Did the artist use a range of value to create the illusion of form?
2

Is there is a sense of space and depth in the composition?

Are effort and craftsmanship evident in the the overall presentation?

Fantasy Handscape
This is a project where students create a surrealist drawing which must incorporate their hands. Surrealism is a
20th century art movement that used imagery, combined in bizarre ways to create a sense of unnatural, dream-like,
or sub-conscious feeling. First students drew their own hands from careful observation. Students combined their
realistic hand drawings in a fantasy environment by using the surrealist practices of Illogical Juxtaposition, Aberrant
Scale, and Levitation. Students were encouraged to utilize the elements of art and principles of design with focus
on composition and shading.

Hand Drawings- Observational drawing skills, attention to detail

Composition- Originality, use of Surrealist practices

Value- Pencil rendering & shading

Craftsmanship- Neat, clean & complete, skillful use of the art tools & media

Color Pencil Self Portrait

Art I
Students chose a colored piece of paper and coordinated colored pencils to represent their light, mid-tone, and dark
values. Students drew themselves from observation using a mirror. In the negative space students introduced a new
color and displayed a pattern that represented themselves. Students were encouraged to display personal
expression through their accessories, facial expression, and negative space.

Proportion- Attention to detail, realism & does the work capture a likeness to the artist?
Color, Value, and Form- Is there a good sense of lighting and shadow?

Creativity- Facial expression and background describe your personality

Effort- Took time to develop your idea & complete the project

Craftsmanship- Neat, clean, & complete, skillful use of the colored pencils & paper

Op Art Prints
4

Art Appreciation
Students learned about the linoleum printmaking process and created a series of Op Art prints. Students studied
optical illusions and designed a linoleum tile that created a pattern or optical illusion artwork. The repetition of
shapes helps show visual rhythm and movement in their artworks.

Craftsmanship with the design and carving of the linoleum block.

Pattern is consistent and the linoleum block was rotated correctly

Print quality and technique are clean and crisp

Contrast between the print and the oil pastel background

Completion of at least one small print and one large print

Detail Self Portrait

The assignment is to create a self portrait that includes at least 2 different details of the student's face. One of the
details must be enlarged enough to fill the entire composition. The second detail can be included anywhere in the
composition. One detail must be done in color scheme, and one must be in black and white.

Did the artist use a wide range of value to create the illusion of form?
What color scheme did the artist choose to paint with?

Was the portrait painted in accurate proportion?

Does the work capture a likeness to the artist?

Did the artist give consideration to the entire composition and use the space to promote creativity & selfexpression?

Abstract Watercolor with Line

Students learned different watercolor techniques such as wet on wet, dry brush, etc. Students experimented with the
watercolor paints mixing colors and implementing the techniques. Once dry students used sharpie pen to define
positive and negative shapes and develop visual balance in their compositions.

Space- Defined positive & negative space to create a balanced composition

Color and Variety- Inventiveness with watercolor paint demonstrating a variety of techniques

Line- Exploration & creativity with sharpie pen

Effort- Took time to develop idea & complete project

Craftsmanship- Neat, clean & complete

Narrative Collage
6

Students were to create a narrative collage about an important event or person in their lives. The collage was to
show a sense of place and tell a brief story. Students used mixed media elements including magazine images,
photographs, zerox transfers, and found objects.

Does the collage tell a story?

Does the college have a grounded sense of place rather then cutout images floating on a background?

Did the artist use layering to create a sense of depth in their composition?

Is the different media carefully integrated into the composition?

Does the final collage show care, craftsmanship, and creativity?

Stained Glass Hands

Art Appreciation
Students started this problem drawing their hands from observation using only line on black paper. Students
thought about both the hand position and how to incorporate the negative space. The line drawings were traced with
white glue and left to dry. Lastly students experimented with color and shading using chalk pastels. The final
results resemble stained glass hands representing the artists.

Are the black contour lines visible and are details recorded accurately?
Does the drawing show accurate proportion and are the hands life size or larger?

Did the artist use color on the entire composition and did they shade?

Is there a theme or unifying idea behind the artists work?

Does the piece reflect care, craftsmanship, and creativity?

Surrealist Collage and Prints

Students studied surrealism and created a collage using similar techniques with magazine clippings. Each artist then
focused in on a certain area of their collage and created a series of dry point engraving prints.

Use of Surrealist techniques in collage- Illogical juxtaposition, aberrant scale, levitation

Compositions of collage and prints- Dynamic use space: including layering, overlapping, pass-through

Craftsmanship- overall presentation of collage and prints

Effort- Productivity in class and use of time

Originality- Creative solution to the problem; not the most obvious, easiest, or common solution

Multiple ME Self Portrait

The assignment is to create an artwork that includes more than one self portrait of the student. The mission is to
fully expose the diverse personality of each individual. Students were required to use different methods to
8

portray themselves in their portrait. This includes: a painting from life using a mirror, a hand altered photocopy, and
an altered digital photograph.

Color- What color scheme did you use to paint with and why?
Value- How did you create form and a sense of lighting in your painting?

Techniques- Did you include different mediums (paint, collage, and digital imagery)?

Composition- How did you utilize the entire canvas to expose your personality and promote self-expression?

Proportion- Was the portrait painted using accurate proportions? What specific facial features were painted
with attention to detail? Does the work displays realism and capture a likeness to the artist?

Name Mandala
Students researched mandalas in different cultures. Using their name (first or last) students developed a section of
their mandala to repeat. Students worked on black paper and traced their name design until the entire circle was
complete. They then used white glue to trace their design. Finally when the glue dried clear, students colored and
shaded their mandalas using a color scheme.

Stylized Lettering (Name)

Repetition- Attention to deatail when rotating design

Color Scheme and Pattern

Effort- Took time to develop idea and complete project

Craftsmanship- Neat, clean, and complete

SCULPTURAL SHOES
3-D Design
Students were introduced to the sculptor Claes Oldenburg who sculpts ordinary objects at extraordinary sizes and
displays them in an unconventional setting. Students thought about the impact that a monumental sculpture can
have on a viewer. Students were then given the assignment to construct a larger-than-life sculpture of a shoe only
using cardboard, brown paper, and glue. Emphasis was placed on attention to detail, craftsmanship, and proportion.

Is the sculpture proportional to the shoe?

Inventiveness with the cardboard and butchers paper

Shoe design & construction

Effort- Took time to develop the idea with sketches, models, etc.

Craftsmanship- Neat, clean & complete? Skillful use of the art tools & media?

Project Greenway
The goal was for students to create a garment or accessory using found objects and/or used clothes that
communicates ideas about sustainability and recycling. Students looked through fashion magazines for inspiration
and began an inspiration board with sketches, notes, swatches of their materials, etc. Students gathered their
recyclables and discarded objects to incorporate into their accessory or garment. Different fastening techniques
were introduced and students were encouraged to be experimental. The students displayed their finished pieces ina
student run fashion show called "Project Greenway", sponsored by the National Art Honor Society.

Planning- Inspiration board/thumbnail sketches

Originality- Inventiveness/creativity

Accesory- Design and construction

Effort- Took time to develop idea & complete project

Linear Sculpture
Art Appreciation
The goal of this assignment is to create a free standing linear sculpture composed of modular units. First students
created a unit with toothpicks, either a geometric shape or something as simple as two toothpicks glued side by
side. Students constructed as many modular units neccessary and then began to create the three dimensional form.
Their sculpture was required to show line, space, movement, balance, and pattern.

Ideation- Thumbnail sketches and planning

Units- Uniformity in the construction of modular units

Form- Sculpture design and construction

This lesson addresses students ability to analyze and describe characteristics that define their
individuality and manage personal learning through exercising self analysis and implementing a
problem-based activity mediated by the need to address specific assessment criteria. It addresses
discipline-based learning in terms of the arts through involving students in discussion and critique of
artworks (responding), designing an artwork focused on various art principles (creating), drawing a
self portrait based on observation influenced by self-consciousness (making/responding),
emphasizing the relation of representation and interpretation in the arts (responding/creating), and
promoting a visual response towards introspection and observation.

Creating and Making

* One practice self portrait sketch reviewing the concepts of proportion and tone.
* One free style drawing based on self consciousness activity.
* One complex self-portrait drawing based on personal reflection and observation.

Exploring and Responding

*List of personality descriptive points (likes, dislikes, qualities, defects.
*Written description of own facial features.
Personal Learning
*Written reflection of self portrait development obstacles and how this were overcome.

Observational Drawing. Hand and Flowers

25

Pick a flower and draw your hand holding it.

DO A LIGHT LINE DRAWING, LIFE-SIZED, IN PENCIL
DO NOT SHADE.
Pay attention to the directions of the lines. Compare size relationships.
Add another flower to the bouquet.
Do not shade!
After you are done drawing - outline the entire picture with a fine Sharpie.
STAY RIGHT ON THE LINES, TAKE YOUR TIME.
Round all corners to stylize the drawing:
USE THE ROUNDING-OFF STYLIZATION TECHNIQUE YOU
LEARNED EARLIER. APPLY THIS TECHNIQUE TO THE ENTIRE DRAWING. THEN ERASE ALL YOUR
STRAY PENCIL MARKS THAT ARE LEFT. NOW THAT YOU ARE FINISHED WITH THE DRAWING, YOU ARE
READY TO BEGIN THE PAINTING. YOU WILL BE USING WATERCOLOR PAINTS, AND FOLLOWING THESE
GUIDELINES:

DO NOT USE THE WHITE WATERCOLOR PAINT. YOU LIGHTEN COLORS BY ADDING MORE WATER
TO THEM, WHICH ALLOWS MORE OF THE WHITE BOARD TO SHOW THROUGH.

STAY IN THE LINES AS YOU PAINTBESIDES CREATING A FINISHED PIECE OF ARTWORK, YOU
ARE ALSO IMPROVING YOUR HAND-EYE COORDINATION, AND YOUR FINE MOTOR SKILLS. YOUR
HAND IS PLACING THE PAINT ON THE BOARD WHERE YOUR BRAIN IS TELLING IT TO. YOUR BRAIN IS
YOUR HANDS BOSS.

26

Drawing with Grid

27

Use the grid to copy and enlarge a image. Grid

drawing is a very old technique of transfering
images (from sketches to a full size canvas or
fresco, etc...)
Always make sure that the number of squares on
the original picture and your working area are
exactly the same.
If the dimentions of the paper do not quite match
the dimentions of the picture - cut the paper....

Work with one square at a time.

Copy everything you see. Forget the big picture.
Just copy all the shapes that you see (even the
blurred ones).
First - mark the points where the shapes cross the
grid lines. Think: "...this line crosses the grid about
1/3 of the square, or it crosses it right in the
middle..."
Next - connect these marks. Make sure the shapes
match.
Do not shade. Use only light fine pencil lines.
Add as many details as possible. No rush!
Once you are done with one square - move to the
next one.
Keep drawing.

When you are done - time for shading.

Always start with rthe darkest values, then midvalues. Leave the light values to the very end.
28

Pointillism - grid drawing

Start with drawing a grid.

1. Place the template in the center of the board and transfer the outline and every 1/2" mark.
2. Connect the grid marks. Use very light and thin lines!!!!
3. Using a black pen to copy each square exactly as it is: include all values and details. Do not outline anything!
If it helps - cover the image with sticky notes, leaving only the current square to work on.
Be patient. Place the dots accurately!

White on Black Drawing

You are going to draw on a black paper with a white pencil. This small exercise is a great way to practice the opposite
shading techniques.

29

You will have to reverse your usual thinking in terms of

shading and do everything opposite.
Place an object in front of you. This is an observation
drawing exercise as well. No photographs or pictures!
Erasing white pencil is not as easy as erasing your
regular pencil. So, if you dont feel confident enough to
start with a white pencil right away you can use your
regular drawing pencil to sketch the object. Include all
the details!
In your regular drawing you would start shading with
the darkest areas. In this drawing you start with the
lightest areas.
In regular drawing you shade the areas that are darker. In
this drawing you shade the areas that are lighter.
Work with small strokes. Dont press hard on the pencil
you can always go back and make things lighter, but
youll have harder time to make them darker again.
Keep your pencil sharp.

Scratch Art
Scratch Art is a graphic technique. It is used to create value drawings.

Most common is a black-and-white technique. Also

popular are metallic backgrounds they make a
drawing look like etching.
Scratch board is a paper (or foil) board that is
covered with wax or gesso and coated over with
black ink.
Using scratch tools (stylus, scratch brush, or scratch
knife) you can create value drawings by scratching
off the black ink and revealing the board beneath.
This technique is similar to drawing with white
pencil over a black paper.

30

You can use a variety of strokes as you scratch.

Depending on the object that you are working on
you should use different value techniques to show
texture of this particular object.
As a rule USE SMALL STROKES!!!! Smaller the
stroke easier it is to control the scratching process.
Remember, you cannot undo or erase a scratch.
Once it is there it stays. Thats why it is a good
idea to take your time and scratch with smaller
strokes in case you mess it up you still might be
able to fix it and not start over. Which saves time in
a long run!
Another rule dont press too hard on the tool it
will rip the paper.
TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!
Here is a value scale done on the scratch board. As you can see it is possible to show values and textures just by
scratching small strokes.

Before starting on a big project practice. Print the pictures below and spend some time mastering the technique.

First tape your picture to a scratch board.

Second use a pen (not pencil its too soft) and trace the entire image, including ALL the DETAILS, all white and
grey areas (all value changes). More accurate is your tracing part easier it will be to scratch. Press hard enough to
31

leave indents on the board but without ripping the paper. Use a contrasted color pen (red, green, blue, etc) so you can
see what has been traced.
Next take the picture off the scratch board and grab your scratch knife.

Note to yourself the darkest and the lightest values.

Leave for now the darkest values black (you can
always make the value lighter later).
Start with white and light grey areas.

Eventually get to work on details and grey values.

Look at the example below. See the different types of strokes? That is how you create an interest in your drawing. But
remember, that each type of stroke should be appropriate and planned. Keep in mind that longer strokes are harder to
use and control. If you dont believe me try (on a scrap piece, of course.)
Small strokes are great for details!
Remember to replace the blades for your scratch kives!

32

Ribbon-Cross-hatching technique
33

Start with drawing a border around the square.

About 1 1/4 inch all way around.

Draw the secong line to complete the first ribbon.

34

Draw your first line any way you feel like.

Start drawing the second ribbon "behind" the first

one.

Draw a total of 12 ribbons.

Make sure they are all numbered.

This is what it looks like when you are done with

this step.

35

Should look similar to this.

Important: mark (number) every ribbon as you

draw it - especially where they overlap.

Use a black pen and fill in all background areas

with cross-hatching technique. Pay attention to
where you shade.

See the numbers?

Skip ribbon #1

Start with ribbon #2. Shade everywhere where it is

overlapped by ribbon #1.

Shade on both sides.

Value should fade from dark to light: start with

dark cross-hatching, follow with hatching, space
small strokes to lighten the value, finish fading
with pointillism.

36

After you are done with ribbon #2, proceed to

next ribbons.

Connect ribbons' ends. Use pencil at this point.

Create folds, twists, etc.

37

Outline with black pen.

Complete shading.

Erase all pencil marks.

Color Scheme Designs

On a 5"x5" board:
1. Apply the following pattern:

2. Choose your favorite color.

3. Think about other 2 - 3 colors that would look good with it. See if the fit any of the color schemes! If they don't - adjus
All colors should belong to a color scheme.
4. Write down the color scheme on the back of your board.
5. Write down the colors you are going to use and how do they fit this particular color scheme.
6. Paint one area at a time. Apply at least 5 different values of each color into an area. See example below:

40

7. Each value of a color should be distinctive. Use the width of your paint brush to apply the paint.
8. Use white, gray, and black paint to add a variety to the values.

9. Use variations of a color. (Example: if you decide on a complimentary color scheme - red and green: use a variety of di
greens). Do not repeat exact same color in more that one area
10. You can start with a pure hue (color) to outline the area. Then add white for the next value. Continue adding white as
of the area. You can start with a shade of a color (color + black) - then paint a hue, then - the rest of the lighter values.
Be creative!
Craftsmanship is very important for this assignment!

Color Schemes Design- triptych

this project is inspired by http://www.lightworksstainedglass.co.uk/

41

Concepts to learn:

dominant color
monochromatic color scheme

complimentary color scheme

triadic color schemes

analogous color scheme

triptych

hue / shade / tone / tint

A triptych is a series of three paintings or carved panels intended to be displayed together.

Originated in Ancient Rome, triptychs became a popular form of altar pieces for Early Christian churches

Traditionally two of the panels were attached to the central one by hinges and folded over it, to show two different
paintings on the back.
In modern art, you can use any media to create a triptych, including painting, drawing, relief carving, collages,
photography, graphic design, etc.

42

Shapes and dimensions can vary, but there has to be an order or logic to why you are using these dimensions. Usually,
you have all 3 images have the same height. Width can be the same for all 3 pieces, or at least the side panels are the
same width. Remember, the 3 pieces will be displayed together - they should look like they belong together.
Here are some examples:

Unity (principle of Design) should be applied to triptych. That means that all panels have to share some properties:
color scheme, repeated elements or variations of elements, common theme, background or anything that will make
these three panels look like they belong together:

Assignment:
Get a 15" x 10" illustration board. Divide it into 3 parts (5" wide each)

43

Start with drawing vertical lines with a permanent marker. Approximately 9 - 10 vertical lines per panel. (Do not
outline the pencil lines - these are the cut lines).
Start at the top edge or slightly below. The lines do not have to go all the way down to the bottom edge. You can
brake some of the lines. Hold the marker at a slight angle and draw the lines slowly - this way you will get a
consistent thickness of the lines:

Next step is to unite the three panels together by drawing a few lines across all three of them. A good number is 3.
Make them curve too...

Now work at drawing one panel at a time. Draw short horizontal lines (straight and curved) between 2, 3, 4 or 5
44

vertical lines:

Before you start painting - cut the panels:

Next part is very important. You pick a DOMINANT COLOR. (I chose blue-green in this example).

.
45

Use this color for all 3 panels. So mix plenty of it. You are going to check with the color wheel to determine the
colors you need to include into design.

panel 1 - Complimentary color scheme (blue-green

and red-orange in this example)
panel 2 - Monochromatic color scheme (values of
blue-green in this example)
panel 3 - color scheme of your choice (triadic with 1
split in this example: blue-green, yellow, purple)

MONOCHROMATIC COLOR SCHEME

Start painting the middle panel (Monochromatic color scheme). All you need is your dominant color that you mixed
plus Black and White.

Fill in the shapes in the panel. More variety of

values you have - the better.
Don't forget to include sections of pure color,
then tints, shades and tones.
Stay within the lines.

After the paint dries - go over the lines with a

Sharpie again.

46

COMPLIMENTARY COLOR SCHEME

Complimentary colors. Mix an opposite color and paint in the sections of different values of the two complimentary
colors.

I used: blue-green and red-orange

47

Repeat the same steps with the last panel. You can pick any of the color schemes, but you have to use your dominant
color as one of the colors. For example:

analogous color scheme

triadic (split 1)

triadic (split 2)

TRIADIC COLOR SCHEME

I chose 2-split triadic color scheme:

blue-green, yellow, and purple

48

triadic (split 3)

When done - arrange them on a black board 1/2" apart. Please include your worksheet with your notes indicating the
color schemes you used and particular colors.
Color Schemes - Bug Painting

Copying from a picture without using a grid - is not that difficult.

Start with drawing the main direction of the mail shape and mark
the dimensions of our image (right, left, top, bottom).

Look at the original image and try to deside:

"Into how many part I can divide this bug?"
"Which part is bigger?"
Compare the parts. How many times a small part can fit in a big
part?

49

Start refining the drawing.

DO NOT SHADE!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me see your drawing at this time!

Add details: as many as possible. Finish all shapes (close them think "stain-glass").
Let me see your drawing.

Add background.

Use a ruler to add "brocken glass" effect:

draw triangles pointing towards the center.
The idea behind this step is to divide the area into more shapes.
Let me see your project before you start painting.

50

Before painting - look at your drawing and decide what color

scheme you want to use. Once you have decided - you'll write it on
the back of the project and STICK TO IT!
Choose the colors (you can use the interactive Color Wheel page
from the previous assignment).
Paint one shape at a time. Stay within the lines. Craftsmanship is an
important part of this project.
Use variety of colors, mix them, use shades, tones and tints.
More variety you have - the better.

Once you're done with one shape - go to the next.

Change color as you cross the line (or a value of the color).

Continue painting.

City in 2 point perspective

Objectives: Students learn about proportions and the element of Space. Students create a cityscape using two point
perspective technique. Students use their drawing ability to create a city of their own and incorporate the required
objects in their design. Students will illustrate how their creative idea can be developed into a drawing.
Essential questions:
1. How do you create 2-point perspective?
2. How do you apply perspective rules in artwork?

51

Design a city block using 2 point perspective.

Your drawing should include at least (for a D- grade):

Intersection of 2 streets with sidewalks

Six buildings

All buildings should have windows and doors

Streets should include crosswalks, citylights and 3 signs

Two point perspective is used when none of the structure's sides is parallel to your picture plain. In other words - you
are facing a corner of a building, not a side.

You will start with drawing a HORIZON LINE, placing two VANISHING POINTS, and thed drawing the corner of
the closest building.

Remember, that in 2 point perspective:

all vertical lines stay vertical
all horizontal lines go to one of the vanishing points
All windows, doorways, and other architectural elements shouldfollow the same rule. Look at the picture below: all
lines are eighther vertical or go to one of the vanishing points.

A large part of the grade for this assignment is creativity. Build a cityblock of your dream! Make it fun!
52

Here are some examples:

53

Balance in Design
The purpose of this project is to practice the balance concept.
There are few steps you will have to follow. You will create a symmetrical design, add three objects to it and position
them in a way that they are balanced (review the topic if you need). These objects will stick out of the background to
add interest to the design..
Plan ahead. What three objects are you going to add to the design? Think of what would work with your background
design: birds, butterflies, cars, people, etc.. The three objects should be of three different sizes and colors.

54

Step 1
Create a symmetrical design for the projects background. Think about
drawing something that is symmetrical: a tree, or two trees, a street in
perspective, a road in perspective, a building, or two buildings, etc

worksheet 1(letoltve:D/anyagok/vegyes)
Use the worksheet to sketch the composition.
Write down why you think your design is
balanced? Turn it in along with the project. It will
be part of your grade.

Divide your drawing board in half.

Draw only one side of the design. It should be a detailed drawing.

55

Use tracing paper to trace the design you drew. Make sure you use a
pencil!!!
Flip the tracing paper and retrace it onto the other side of the design.

Now you have your symmetrical design. Outline it with thin black
Sharpie.

Use colored pencils and watercolor paint to color it.

Now that your background is done go to the next step.

56

worksheet 2
Use the worksheets to draw the objects. They
should fit within the outlines!!!

Step 2
After you sketched the objects time to redraw them on the board.
Include the details.

Outline everything with a black Sharpie. Color them with colored

pencils and watercolor paint.

57

Step 3
Cut out the objects. Place them onto the background. Reposition them
to make a perfect balance.

Step 4
Putting everything together.
Use foam squares to glue the objects. This way they will be raised
above the surface to make the design look three dimensional.

You need to be able to explain me why you think your design is

balanced.
Attach the explanation to the back of your project before you turn it
in!

Printmaking

58

Place the printing block over your pencil

drawing.
MAke sure the edges are perfectly aligned.

Fold the sides of the paper and tape them to the

block to secure the drawing.

Flip it over and rub the drawing onto the printing

block.

Remove the paper.

The outline of the drawing should be transfered to
the printing block.

59

Outline everything with a Sharpie.

Fill in all black shapes.

Place the other side of the printing block onto the

drawing.

Transfer the image.

Trace the "color" shapes only.

60

Place the "color" side of the printing block onto a

bench hook for safety.

Choose 3 linoleum cutters:

1. Small blade (for details)
2. V-shape blade for outlining
3. U-shape blade for larger areas

Start cutting with a V-shape blade. Outline the

shapes. Cut away from yourself. You can rotate
the printing block as you cut.

After you are done outlining - use U-shape blade

to remobe the background. Use short cuts.

This is how it should look.

61

Once your "color" side is done - flip the printing

block.

Cut out all shapes that are not black.

This is what it should look like.

Now it's time for printing.

Protect the area with newspapers.

Mix at least two colors of the printing ink using
craft sticks.
Use a roller to transfer ink onto the block.

Make sure it is covered uniformly.

62

Place the printing block onto the alignment board.

Align the corners.

Place a corner of printing paper in the upper

corner of the board. Let the paper fall onto the
printing block.

Use a clean roller to transfer ink onto the paper.

Lift the paper.

This is your first color print. Print nine more

copies. You can use different colors.

Let the prints dry!

Wash the printing block.

63

Use black ink.

Apply black ink onto the other side of the printing

block.

Align it the same way on the board.

Use your "color" prins for printing

Align paper exactly the same way on the board.

Lift the print

64

Let it dry.

Print the other 9 copies.

Sign your name and year in the bottom right

corner, just below the print.

You are done!

OPTICAL DESIGN
step by step

65

Did you know that.....

this design was named after
me by an Enthusiastic Artist:
check here to see how you can
expand this design idea in a
very creative way.

Color is a very expressive Element

of art. How can you express your
feelings or mood with this design?

66

1. Use #2 pencil.
Draw 9+ vertical waves. Alter space
and curves

2. Draw a wave across.

67

3. Use thin Sharpie.

Draw upward curves above the middle
wave.
Draw downward curves below the
middle wave.

Every next curve starts at a previous

line.
Alter the distance between the curves.

4. Complete the entire section.

68

5. Complete the entire design.

6. Color each section gradating color

from dark to light to dark.

69

7. Use an analogous color and apply

same gradation pattern.

8. Add another analogous color or

repeat the first one.

Keep coloring!

70

9. Use different colors for the next

section.
This is how you color:

71

shade lightly the entire shape

with a color of your choice

shade full strength - leaving a

small area in the middle

72

use white pencil to blend the

middle part

use black or a darker color to

blend the sides of the shape.

You can also get creative and use

complimentary colors to emphasize an
area or keep it all analogous colors, or
just color it the way you feel like.
Enjoy!

Repetition: Subway Train Graffitti

The purpose of this project is to practice repetition and rhythm concept.
Please read the information about the Repetition Design principle. You are going to use the Rhythm concept. The idea
is to decorate a subway car in a style of a famous artist.

73

First, do a research. Find an artist you like. Print out at least 3 of his/her paintings.
Use the elements from these paintings to decorate a train car.

You don't have to repeat the same element over and over again. The idea is to use the style of the artist and improvise
with this style and elements. Think about this project as if you were this famous artist and you were commissioned to
decorate a train car. You'll have to use the same painting style ( colors, brush strokes, elements from the paintings,
etc...) to implement the rhythm concept. Remember - the car itself already has the repeating elements: doors, windows,
spaces between the windows...)
You can fill in the area between the windows/doors or use just them, or use both... It's totaly up to you.

74

After you decided on the artist - time to sketch. Use the worksheet below to sketch some ideas. Bring them to me to
approve. Together we'll choose the best one.
Now it's time to work on a big scale. You are going to use oil pastels. You can imitate the oil painting technique. Use
the blender to mix colors. Try to imitate the stroke rhythm of the artist. Mixing colors is the same as with paints. Just
remember the Color wheel.
Extra credit:
Write a paragraph about the artist you used for project. Attach it to the back.

Linoleum Printing-multiple colors

subtraction method

75

You are going to make multi-value linoleum prints.

Start with a drawing or a photograph. Best to use pictures with a strong
contrast.
I am going to do the computer manipulation with your picture to break it
into 5 - 6 values.

If you want to do it yourself, here are the steps to follow when you open
your image in Adobe PhotoShop:
1. Make sure the size of the image is within 8 1/2" by 11" (Image>Image
Size)
2. Remove all colors: Image>Adjustments>Desaturate
3. Apply filter: Filter>Artistic>Cutout... Number of levels: 4 or 5
After you printed the image - it's time to trace it onto linoleum using a
transfer paper.

Note: your prints will be mirror images of your picture. If you don't want
this to happen - use regular tracing paper (that means you'll have to trace
everything twice)

76

Make sure that the dark (blue) side of the transfer paper is facing the
linoleum. Then place the picture on the top of it.
Tape the picture and the transfer paper onto the linoleum.
Proceed by tracing every line you see with a red pen (so you can see
what's been traced). When you finish, take off the picture and copying
paper.
Make sure not to throw out your picture, because you will need it for the
following steps.
Next - number the values. Find all white shapes and number them as 1.
Then find the lightest grey shapes - mark them as 2. Then mark the next
darkest shapes as 3, the next darkest - as 4, etc....

Trace all lines on the linoleum with a black Sharpie.

This is what it should look like.

Use a pencil to lightly shade all areas marked 1 (all white spots)
These are the areas you are going to cut out first.

77

IMPORTANT:
Always use a metal bench hook to prevent linoleum from moving while
carving it. This way you won't need to hold it with your other hand (and
cut yourself!!!)

The linoleum cutters come in different sizes.

Use V-shaped small blades to "outline" the shapes first.
Use U-shaped bigger blades for larger areas.

Warm up the linoleum before cutting. It should be just warm - not hot. If
you overheat it - it becomes more difficult to cut.

Cut away from yourself. You can rotate the linoleum as you change the
direction of the cut, but don't cut it towards yourself.
And... never...ever... ever put your other hand in the direction of your cut.

78

When you cut all white areas - time to print!!!!

Pick a color for your prints.

You are going to use different values of this color.
Start with the lightest possible value.
Place some white ink on a board an add just a tiny bit of a color.
Use a craft stick to mix the color.

Roll the ink on the board: up and down, right and left.
The goal is to distribute the ink evenly on the roller.

Roll onto linoleum.

Don't press too hard on the roller.
Again, the idea is to distribute the ink evenly on the linoleum.

79

Place the linoleum onto the printing board.

Important: The upper left corner goes into the inner corner of the board.

Place a piece of printing paper on the top of the linoleum.

Important: The upper left corner of the paper goes into the outer corner of
the board.
The alignment is really important because you want all your colors to
align!!!!!

Use a clean brayer to roll over paper.

Your first print will not look like your picture.

That is because you are going to add more details to it as you print next
values.
Print 10 pieces!!!
Lay them flat to dry.
Wash your linoleum and the roller.

80

After the linoleum has dried - use a pencil to shade all #2 values (the
lightest grey).
Warm up the linoleum ant cut out all shaded areas.
Mix your second color - a bit darker than the first one.
Print right over your first prints (all 10).
Wash everything after you are done.

Continue cutting and printing. Each time use a slightly darker ink.
See now why the alignment is so important?

When you are done with the last color - sign them.
At the bottom right corner of the print, right under the image write your
name and the print number ( 1/10, 2/10, 3/10.....)
Use a #2 pencil.
Turn in one of the prints.

81

Double Vision
Oil Pastel Drawing

Draw a picture (landscape, cityscape, etc..) on a piece of paper.

Do not shade, use just lines.

Trace it using tracing paper.

Place tracing paper "face down" onto the illustration board.

Retrace the picture.
Trace the picture again onto another illustration board.

82

As a result you should have 2 pictures on 2 boards.

Paint or color the two pictures with oil pastels to depict day and
night of your landscape.
Feel free to depict sunset and storm, winter and summer,etc.
The two pictures should be done in two different color schemes.

On the back of each picture - mark every inch on the top and the
bottom of the board.
Connect the marks.
Number each stripe on both boards.
Cut the stripes. Keep them in two different piles - one pile per
picture.
Take both #1 stripes. Place then side by side on the table face
down. Use masking tape to tape them together.

83

Mark every inch on the third board. This is where you are going
to glue the stripes on.

Use a hot glue gun to assemble the pictures as shown on the

picture to your left.

Oil Pastels

Oil pastels are very different from the pencils and colored pencils.
Oil pastels are made to be very blendable---they are soft, oily and
designed to be mixed and spread together on the paper. They are
used by professional artists especially for these qualities.

Use paper stumps or blending brushes to mix colors.

Use palette knife to scratch off oil pastels.
You can mix pastels to achieve the right shade by drawing with one
color over another color in circular motion.
Use white, grey, or black pastels to change the value of a color and
its brightness.
84

Usually use lighter color over darker one. (Darker color should be
applied lightly).

One can also create textures by first applying bold color to the
paper and then going over it with another color until it is
completely covered. Next, use a razor blade to scratch off the
second color, revealing the color underneath. It creates a result
similar to a scratchboard.

By using a solvent (50/50 turpentine and linseed oil) with oil

pastels, one can achieve results similar to painting without actually
using brushes and paints.
You can always use just either one of them. Adding turpentine will
make pastels dry faster than oil alone.
Use a Q-tip or a cotton ball to blend colors.

Using a cotton ball with a solvent is great for coloring large areas
in your drawing (sky, backgrounds, etc...)

85

If you are laying out your drawing with pencil first, be sure to draw
lightly, as light colors will not fully cover dark pencil marks.
Here is an example of a student work in oil pastels

Remember that you cannot do detail work in oil pastels!

The best detailed work can be done using paper stumps.

Design a Van
Transform this van into something it is not.....

1. Start with using a pencil to draw the outlines of your new creation.
2. Use whiteout to cover up all lines that you don't need.
3. Use a black pen or a Sharpie to add lines to your design.
4. Color it.
Here are some examples of what you can do with the van:

Silkscreen Printing
86

Screen printing is a printmaking technique that creates a sharp-edged image using a stencil.
A screen is made of silk or polyester. It is stretched over a frame of aluminum or wood. Areas of the screen are blocked
off with a non-permeable material to form a stencil, which is a negative of the image to be printed; that is, the open
spaces are where the ink will appear.
The screen is placed atop paper or fabric. Ink is placed on top of the screen, and a squeegee is used to fill the mesh
openings with ink.

Start with a drawing. There should be no shading in your drawing.

Use pointillism, crosshatching or other techniques to show values:

Outline everything with a Sharpie.

Two copies on transparency sheets should be made.

Align them and tape with a clear tape.

87

Next step is to stretch the silk on a frame.

Cut a piece of silk that is larger than the frame by about 2" on all
four sides.
Place it on top of the frame.

Lay the cord above the indent in the frame. Push it in with your
fingers. Make sure there are no wrinkles on the silk and it is
stretched tightly.

Use a cord roller to push the cord in.

Then use scissors or a screwdriver to further push the cord in.

It should be as tight as a drum.......

Cut the excess silk. Use masking tape to cover the cord.

88

Now that the screen is ready - time to apply the photo emulsion.
Keep in mind that it is light sensitive.
Over a sink, apply some emulsion over the screen.

Use a squeegee to distribute the emulsion evenly over the screen.

Flip the screen and use squeegee again.

The idea is to push the emulsion through the fabric's pores and have
a solid thin layer of the emulsion. It should be of a uniform
consistency with no dripping marks.
Take it to a dark room and let it dry.

Time to transfer your drawing onto the screen.

Place the screen on a table in a dark room
Place the transparencies (mirror image) on top.
Place a piece of glass over it to hold the transparencies close to the
screen.

Turn on the light above the screen.

IMPORTANT: Timing is really important. Note time when you
exposed the screen to the light. It should take between 12 to 15
minutes before you turn the light off.

89

Take the screen to a sink.

Turn on cold water. Wash the screen on both sides.
First, you'll see how your drawing is appearing on the screen
Keep washing. You need to see light through the drawing:
Let it dry.

Now you are ready to print!

Oil pastel drawing on transparency

1. Image search: Find a high quality photograph of

an organic object: plant, animal, fish, etc.
Do not use: drawings/paintings/designs by other
artists. No logos or writings.
Save the image to the desktop (not the thumbnail,
but the full-size photograph). You can do it by
dragging it onto the desktop.
2. Editing in Photoshop: Right-click on your image.
Choose Open with > Adobe Photoshop

Simplify and reduce the colors of the photograph

and increase the contrast of the picture.
You can do it by applying an Artistic filter.
Depending on the colors of your particular image,
choose: Filter > Artistic >
Cutout
Dry brush
Fresco
Paint Daubs
Palette Knife
Poster Edges
Smudge Stick
Watercolor
90

Apply any of the above filters. Try different settings

for each filter to keep the details but simplifying the
colors.
File > Print
Choose HP LaserJet 5550 printer
Select Landscape or Portrait layout
Check Scale to fit Media

91

Pen and ink. Mix-media

You are going to create an animal design using ink/pen,

color pencils, gold (silver) paint, and coffee.
You are going to combine realistic drawing with highly
decorative.
Start with finding an image of an animal. Image should
be "full-body", not just a face or cropped picture.... Look
for silhouettes!

92

Draw an outline of your animal with a pencil on a 12x18

drawing paper.
Add necessary details (eyes, horns, ears, etc...)
Divide the outline into at least 12 areas. Do not use
straight lines.

Double the division lines.

Choose at least 6 areas that you want to be realistic. Use

color pencils. Incorporate different blending techniques
to achieve the 3-D look.
The rest of the areas will be filled in with patterns and
designs using ink and pen.
Each area should be different.

Leave the "double-lines" blank.

Craftsmanship is an important part of this assignment!

93

This is what it should look like at this point.

Fill in some (or all) double-lines with gold (silver) paint.

You can add some paint to your patterns. Do not overdo
it though!!!

Stay within the lines while painting.

Use pen and ink to add more designs over the paint.

94

Use a variety of designs

Tape your artwork to a table.

Use coffee to apply washes to the background.

Lines and Proportions

95

Take these assignments seriously. Practicing the skills and sence of proportion is very important for an artist. More you pr
get.
Print the following worksheets as many times as you like. And practice, practice....

Observational Drawing

Objectives: Students learn to construct, shade and add creative elements to an object that they draw by observing.
Essential questions:
1. How to construct a cylinder, a cone, a sphere and a box?
2. How to use directional lines when drawing from observation?
3. How to use a pencil to check proportions?
4. How to compare points in drawing from observation?
5. How to apply shading to an object?
6. How to shade with white pencil over a black surface?
Drawing is the backbone of almost every art discipline and a fundamental form of communication. This makes the
ability to translate what the eye sees onto paper a valuable skill for all artists.
Before one can toss aside convention and explore the abstract and the fantastic the original form and realistic
representation must be understood. Observational drawing is the way to exercise the connection between what the
eyes see and what ends up on paper or canvas. It requires focus as well as attention to detail and the ability to find
relationships.The relationship of one object to another and the relationship of those objects in space.
The practice of observational drawing will improve concentration, drawing skill and your overall ability to see the
world around you.
Observational drawing can include cityscapes, landscapes, a small or large still life, friends and family, interiors or
exteriors... Pretty much anything that you can find to look at and draw.

96

Before
shading: determine the darkest and the lightest areas in the object.
After you have practiced the drawing - draw the object on a black illustration board. Build the object
with a regular pencil (very fine lines!), then shade with a white pencil.

Keep in mind the basic shading pattern (highlight, light, shadow, reflected light, and drop shadow):

97

You can get creative with the drawing:

98

Observational drawing
Stillife. Grisaille painting

This is an observation drawing and painting project. You will utilize your composition skills and sence of proportion
Plan the position of each object. Compare the proportions and size relationships.

Start with building up the forms. ( if a form is symmetrical - start with the axis)
Then do the under painting - determine the major shadows/lights shapes
99

.
Then paint black and white as if you were shading.

Copying a Master
oil painting

This project is a centuries old tool to learn drawing skills, painting techniques and styles.
You start with choosing a Master (famous artist). Choose an artist that you like. Do not use contemporary artists or
any painting off the Internet just because they look cool. Check with me before your final decision.
Print 2 copies of the painting. Make sure to write down the artist's name and the title of the painting. Find other
paintings by the same artist to familiarize yourself with his style of painting.
Use the Grid Technique to copy the outline of the painting onto your canvas. Be as detailed as possible.
If this is your first time painting with oils - start painting with backgrounds that do not require much details and can
be repainted easily. If you have done oils before - start with the most contrasted objects (positive space) but
remember to paint some of the background right next to it. Why? Because colors look different over the white canvas
background vs. the original color in the painting. This way you will be more accurate in color choices and color
relationships.
Remember: you can always count on my help.
Enjoy the oils!!!!!!!
Here are some examples of what you can do:

100

Rembrandt

Degas

101

Degas

Vladimir Kush

102

Rembrandt

Creative memory
You will have 45 minutes to draw 4 sketches of a still-life. Use different angles. Try to add as meny details as you
can, but focus on proportions, size relationships, form.
For the next days you are going to create an art work that would include all the objects from the still-life. You can
interpret them any way youwant. Change color, meaning, position, size.
Have fun!!!

automatic drawing
Andr Breton method
based on "Visual Literacy" by Wilde and Wilde
Andr Breton was a French surrealist poet who
studied the subconscious by experimenting with the
phenomenon of AUTOMATIC WRITING.
This assignment reflects and draws upon his methods.
Create a series of images in the spirit of Andr Breton.
Try not to think about what you are doing - just let
your automatic functions take over, letting them
proceed as they wish.
(This is exactly what you do when you are doodling).

Typography
project 1 - creative typography

Selected letters of the alphabet were combined with images of flowers that have been reduced into visually simplified
forms. Each letter is coupled with a flower whose generic name begins with the chosen letter.
A primary objective of this project is to achieve a harmonious synthesis between type and image, and in the process
create a new visual configuration. It is essential in the process of creating this hybrid form that the recognizability of
both the letterform and flower be preserved. Another fundamental concern is to explore the dynamic relationship
between positive and negative space.
Design your own font that is unique and uses black-and-white graphics only.

This is what you do:

Pick a six-letter word (six unique letters)
Example: flower, animals, athlete. artist, travel, etc...
Choose a base font that is bold enough to add graphics to it.
Convert the type into outlines (Type>Create Outlines)
Create vector graphics for the images you want to use for your graphics that would associate with the word you chose.

106

Use Illustrator's Pen Tool or combine basic shapes with the Pathfinder.
Use positive (black) shape of a letterform and negative (white) shape of the graphics to create a typeface.
Crop! Consider cropping for your design!

Your typeface should use similar elements and aproaches for each letter.
You can simplify the base font by eliminating the "eyes" or filling in other negative shapes.
Spend 45 min. per letter.
The assignment is due in 6 days.
Requirements:
The letters should look like they belong together - use similar visual elements and consepts.
Use positive/negative shapes principle.
You can fill in the "eyes" of the letters and simplify them.
The letters should be readable.
Use cropping technique for the images.
Do not repeat the same image in more that one letter.
Be creative!
Have fun!!!!
