1 Advanced Placement Studio Art Summer Assignments 2016 Please bring your artworks back to school in the Fall and be prepared to critique and discuss your work. Do not bring in hastily prepared work that looks like you spent very little time or effort on it. AP art students are expected to perform at a first year college level! You might visit the art room to look at college catalogs and see examples of college freshman level work. Drawing Supplies for 2D Design and Drawing Students. This is a list of supplies that you might need in order to complete the summer assignments. Some of the materials you can get here in the art room but others may need to be purchased at Dick Blicks or Michaels Art Store. Drawing paper, charcoal paper, and/or construction paper. Acrylic or tempera paints. Watercolor set with brushes. Charcoal, pastels, assorted pencils, and India ink. Ruler, x-acto knife, glue sticks, blending stump. Drawing Qualities: Value / Shading: blend shadows and highlights in a convincingly realistic manner. Perspective: use one point and two point perspective. If you are not familiar with this than you need to check out a book from the library and teach yourself this summer. Point of view: this can be physically and intellectually. Create interest by drawing from different angles and positions. Line Sensitivity: Use line in an expressive manner, vary the thickness of the lines and the type of lines that you make. Use lines on figures rather than outlining the figure. Contrast: experiment with a variety of textures, lines. Values, colors, patterns, etc. Breadth Drawing/Painting Assignments: For 2D Design and Drawing Students. (Photo Students will need to do the breadth Section as well to begin to develop your drawing skills.) Use a variety of media and papers with the drawing assignments. Change the format of the paper, square, rectangle, circle, horizontal, vertical, very fat, and/or very thin. Fill the entire paper with the composition. All of the drawings/paintings must be done from direct observation. DO NOT USE PHOTOS or any other source for your drawings. You may look at the artwork of other artists to get ideas and inspiration. 1. Create a piece using reflective objects. Focus on the composition and pay close attention to the distortion that may occur. Look in a spoon and draw the curved reflections. Media: Pen and ink or graphite.

2 2. Draw the inside of your closet or under your bed. Do thumbnails first to make sure your composition. Make sure the composition uses well-defined positive and negative spaces. Media: Pen and ink or graphite. 3. Do several thumbnails of a blown up detail of an object found in nature, take these images and blow them up further on a copier. Cut up these pieces and place them together creating a collage. Finally rework the collage incorporating color into the design. Media: Pen and ink, graphite, pastels, paints, and/or collage. 4. Gesture drawings of people in motion or in groups. Make the drawings quick at first and do several per page. After you get better begin adding in more details of the figure and maybe something in the background. Media: charcoal or graphite. 5. Do a work of things that hold other things. Media: Pen and ink, graphite, pastels, and/or paints. 6. Contour drawings of your hands or feet, plants, animals, fish, etc. Do blind contour, continuous contour, partial contour, Media: charcoal or graphite. Concentration Drawing/Painting Assignments. For 2D Design and Drawing Students. In addition to the four drawing/paintings from the breadth section you will need to do five drawings/paintings that show a concentration involving a theme or a visual/spatial problem that you have set forth for yourself. You must develop a theme that will carry through all five of the artworks. These images must be fully developed and finished artworks worthy of taking slides of. You will need to write down what your visual problem will be and develop your own images. For instance you may do frogs and how they relate to their environment. These frogs may be rendered in a different manner but must relate to one another in their ideas. Photo Concentration: For 2D Design students whose concentration is in Photography. For the summer you will need to do a series of 45 images that follow a constant theme in a body of photographic works. The photos may evolve but should show a logical progression from one series into another. You may use color and/or black and white film. You will need to have them developed on your own. A concentration is a theme or a visual/spatial problem that you have set forth for yourself. You must develop a theme that will carry through all forty-five of the artworks. These images must be fully developed and finished artworks worthy of taking slides of. You will need to write down what your visual problem will be and develop your own images. For instance you may do frogs and how they relate to their environment. These frogs may be rendered in different manners, color and/or black & white photos but must relate to one another in their ideas of a constant theme.

3 Sculpture assignments section: This Section is for all students taking the 3D Design Portfolio. You are required to create several sculptures over the summer. These sculptures may be as big as you desire but no smaller than 6 by 6 by 6. You may use any materials to create this sculpture but the craftsmanship should be superb. Look at Picasso, Jean Arp, Salvador Dali, Michelangelo, and David Smith for ideas. Sculpture Breadth: Four Sculptures You will need to look at different sculptors and use a variety of different materials. Each work should be something completely different while using a variety of different materials. Look at Jans Arp, Henry Moore, Salvador Dali, Eva Hesse, and Paul Gauguin. Sculpture Concentration: Five Sculptures You will need to create a series of sculptures that follow a constant theme. The works should show a progression or evolution from the first sculpture to the last but maintain a constant through their development. For instance one year a student did a series of sculptures based on Mondrian, trying to use basic shapes and repeating patterns to create a series that started to incorporate color and textures in the works. These sculptures are located all around the art room. You may do a series based on the human figure or objects found in nature. Look at Henry Moore, Richard Sierra, Donald Judd, and Eva Hesse.

4 Contrast AP Journal Entry 1 Task 1: Define Contrast. Define Value Scale, draw a value scale using 0% (white of paper) 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% (as dark as you can get the pencil to go!). Task 2: Find an example of an image that exemplifies Contrast. Make a copy of the image, or cut it out, and place it in your journal. Use a glue stick to adhere the image. Leave an equal amount of space below the image. Task 3: Explain how this image defines Contrast? Task 4: Now that you have your photo chosen and placed in your journal. On another page draw out a precise box the same size as your photo. In this box you are going to define the areas of Contrast. You may leave the lightest areas of Contrast as the white of the paper and the rest of the contrasting areas should have a value of 20% to 100%. Below this image discuss how Contrast can define the image. You may use tracing paper to trace your defined areas. Task 5: Experimentation with Contrast. Draw out two more boxes the same size as your previous boxes. In each box take the defined areas from task 4 and change the values. Repeat this process for both boxes. Task 6: Now that you have finished the experimentation with Contrast what insights have you gained? Image from: Diane Arbus Identical twins, Roselle, N.J., 1967 This is a good example of Contrast both in the physical nature of the image with its range of lights and darks but also because of the psychological Contrast of the identical twins. Scale from:

5 AP Journal Entry 2 Reflective surfaces Task 1: Define reflective. Task 2: Find an example of an image that has a reflective surface shown in the image. Make a copy of the image, or cut it out, and place it in your journal. Use a glue stick to adhere the image. Leave an equal amount of space below the image. Task 3: Explain how this reflective area has defined areas of Contrast? Task 4: Now that you have your image chosen and placed in your journal. On another page draw out a precise box the same size as your image, or default to 3x5 inches. In this box you are going to define the areas the reflective surface and its visual contrast. You may leave the lightest areas of Contrast as the white of the paper and the rest of the contrasting areas should have a value of 20% to 100%. Below this image discuss how the Contrast found in the reflective surface can define the image. You may use tracing paper to trace your defined areas. You can cut up reflective paper and create a design using that material to convey your ideas. Task 5: Experimentation with reflective surfaces. Search your house for surfaces that are reflective. Take a digital image of the area or create a quick sketch. Find at least 5 different reflective surfaces. What is common between all of these reflective surfaces? Task 6: Now that you have finished the experimentation with reflective surfaces what insights have you gained? This is part of a larger image by Caravaggio that has a reflective object in the composition. Notice how Caravaggio has rendered the image.
