* what have you ALWAYS wanted to paint? For me, its an ocean wave, done realistically. * Does it seem too hard to paint? Yes? Then you are on the right track....
How can we create the appearance of depth on a 2d surface?
How can an artist create works of art through combining, expanding, and sequencing?
What problem solving skills are employed in making works of art?
Learning Objectives: Students will-
Use close observation to understand objective reality.
Practice painting value realistically/with one color (monochromatic)
Practice varied brushstrokes and glazing
Understand the importance of composition and washes
Terms:
Monochromatic: containing or only using one color Value: the lightness or darkness of a color or shade. Contrast: the degree of difference between tones. Composition: the act of combining parts or elements to form a whole. Constraints: the materials used to create art Wash: a thinned down, mostly water, usage of paint Glazing: applying color in wash form to enhance a monochromatic painting Dry Brush: no medium/water- simply applying paint with dry brush Highlights/Shadows
Constraints: - still life? - original photography - pencil/eraser - canvas - acrylic paint - paintbrush
CAS (Visual Arts)-Lesson Goals-State Standards
Standard 1: Observe and Learn to Comprehend *Use the visual arts to express, communicate, and make meaning To perceive art involves studying art; scrutinizing and examining art; recognizing, noticing, and seeing art; distinguishing art forms an subtleties; identifying and detecting art; becoming skilled in and gaining knowledge of art; grasping and realizing art; figuring out art; and sensing and feeling art.
1.2: Historical and cultural context are found in visual art 1.3: Art and Design have purpose and function
Standard 3: Invent and Discover to Create *Generate works of arts that employ unique ideas, feelings, and values using different media, technologies, styles, and forms of expression. To make art involves creating, inventing, conceiving, formulating, and imagining art; communicating, ascertaining, and learning about art; building, crafting, and generating art; assembling and manufacturing art; discovering, fashioning, and producing art; and causing art to exist!!!!
3.2: Assess and produce art with various materials and methods 3. What problem solving skills are employed in making works of art? 3.3: Make judgments from visual messages 2. How is value assigned to art?
Tips from the teacher:
Choose photo with many values
Squint eyes to see basic value
Draw what you see…not what you “think” you see initially
Start gesturally à then refine detail
Possible grid?
Paint in B + W with 5+ shades of value
Remember, this creates a rich, multi-depth painting!
//notice the BROAD RANGE OF VALUE in the black and white painting//
Wow, what a GRID can do!
