Period 1 - Art-115 Basic Design 2D (C. Siegfried) Winter 2021-Mondays/Thursday 8:30 - 9:30 am (synchronous meeting time) Assignments

18 x 24 inch paper

create a 1.5 inch grid in pencil ( draw lightly)

draw objects/subject matter that fill the page

you will make your objects/subject matter warm(yellows/oranges/reds) colors or cool(blues/greens) colors

if your objects/subject matter is warm colors---> make sure your background is cool colors (or vis versa)

refer to the examples for reference

Make sure that you paint the squares around your objects/subject matter the opposite color on the color wheel----->

that is if your objects/subject matter is orange you will paint the shape next to it blue

---->Make sure that you have multiple different colors in your objects/subject matter

---->Make sure that you have multiple different colors in your background

Again refer to the examples

Cut a 22” x 17” piece of Railroad paper. ½ inch frame on all four sides.
6 to 7 inches down you will draw a horizon line in pencil. Create a vanishing point on your horizon line.

You will create a grid on your “floor.” that recedes to the vanishing point on your horizon line.

Your Object( does not have to be a boat/warship) can be filled with your own interpretation of “Razzle Dazzle” if your Object is not filled with the “Razzle Dazzle” pattern ----> you will “Razzle Dazzle” the background/sky--you can even put the Razzle Dazzle patterning in/on the floor.

This is a drawing / inking / painting assignment ( due on Monday---> email me with any concerns or questions )

1. Cut a piece of paper by 11 inches by 11 inches ( so you have a square)

2. Tools---> ruler/pencil/sharpie or ink. Even paint if you like.

3. You get to decide what is black or white ( Or what has color---your choice!)

4. You will design / draw an object that creates a different object in the white of the paper ----> or vice versa

5. Draw/Create a few sketches of your possible design BEFORE you start on the final project ( save all your prep work-- and send me your design ideas/sketches)

-----> for example (below) a student draws a snake( the positive form) that has its mouth close to its tail. The negative space is then inclosed which then creates an apple.

The very very simple example is that by designing/ drawing a candle holder( or an applecore---> or use your Imagination) in the center of the page you can create two faces in the negative space
As much as you can -----> push the complexity of your design

The Experiments
1. Using soft lead pencils take about 50 different kinds of rubbings
(also make on or two larger rubbings) Objects indoors and out doors:
wood, metal, plastic, rocks, leaves, foods, etc. From each surface
take a rubbing of an area about 3” x 3” Assemble these textures in a
chart or a pictorial organization.

You will attach (glue down) 48 rubbings to a 18 x 24 piece of paper

You have to fill the square( do not just make a rubbing of a small object in the square)

2. The graphic artist is often deeply interested in making Their
visual surfaces more varied and exciting. When you are primarily
concerned with presenting your picture as a tangible object, not an
illusion of nature, you may use Actual Textures. In creating such
artistic form the artist may add unusual materials to the surface such
as papers of varying patterns, colors, and textures. When bits of

paper are pasted together on a picture surface, the composition is
termed a Papier Colle’

Directions for the first Long Term Assignment

You will use a 15" x 20" piece of white paper (make sure your paper is correct size--if it is not--you will have to make adjustments)

You will measure every 5" (on all four sides of your paper ) and make a mark in pencil

You will draw (lightly) in pencil vertical and horizontal lines

end result will be a grid of 12 squares drawn in pencil

-----

Draw a couple(at least) 5 inch squares in your sketchbook / on a separate piece of paper.

In this 5 in square you will create a shape/ a design / an object that is not small inside the square (dominate the space) if you decide to use a smaller object in your square--use more than one object---again fill the space inside your 5 inch square
