Project A or B.
Choices.
We all have our choices and you will be provided with two choices as we move into the final 6 weeks of our semester together.
We are going to be discussing both today.
Project A is a Dale Chihuly inspired Sculpture.
We all have our choices and you will be provided with two choices as we move into the final 6 weeks of our semester together.
We are going to be discussing both today.
Project A is a Dale Chihuly inspired Sculpture.
Acetate + wooden dowel + Sharpies + Scissors
Analogous Color Schemes / Warms or Cools
Dale Chihuly : Through the Looking Glass
Space - not just how the object will look alone, but how the object will look in a room
Project B is a Boey inspired Sharpie Coffee Cup Drawing.
Sharpie + Paper Cup
Black and white / line / dots / designs / minimal color
pointillism, hatching, cross-hatching, space, size, and focus
Discussing what we thought of it and asking students...
- How would they like to draw without sketching first?
- How would they feel about throwing out at 80% finished project because you "messed it up."
- What do they think of drawing on coffee cups?
- What else could they draw on?
- How does he make dark and light areas?

Reduction Printmaking Project
Portraits... we are exactly who we are at this very moment...
we can be better in the next minute, we can be worse, but we are who we are... and we need to be our best us....
But in portraits, we get to be us or someone else or a snapshot of the very moment
And there are always options...
We will be doing a 2 step printing project.
In the first step we will be identifying the contour line of our portrait. Carving the material away and inking. Choose two colors to ink with......
The second step with be the elimination of the remaining white. Finishing by printing what is left.
Chose one color and black.
Batiking & Radial Design
OK Go.
a symmetrical design or arrangement with radiating parts
Batik
a wax resist dyeing application
Color Schemes
yellow green blue
red purple blue
yellow orange red
completing the process with black
Examples from previous years.

Modigliani and Modeling Paste
Modigliani, an artist know for his elongated and elegant portraits with a twist or distortion to the neck and body. Traits also include hollow eyes, long noses, small mouths.... With all of this Modigliani inspiration, how are we going to make our portraits look like us?
Think about the little things that make us who we are:
Hair: length and type
Piercings: face and ears
Accessories: necklaces and apparel
Modeling Paste is going to make the background have some texture.
We will be creating stencils for our patterned background or design. It doesn't need to be a pattern, but give it some variety: size, shape, detail
Xacto knives with be used to cut your stencils: Safety First.
An example from online....
