Lesson 2 Art II
Standards: Analyze Art Elements and Principles of Design 1.3 Identify and describe the ways in which artists convey the illusion of space (e.g., placement, overlapping, relative size, atmospheric perspective, and linear perspective). Time of project: 2 weeks Supplies: 12x18" white paper, pencil, visuals (glass container), flowers, oil pastels, cooking oil, and Q-tips
Vocabulary Words 1. Background the part of an image represented as being at maximum distance from the front 2. Blending to mix smoothly and inseparably together 3. Complementary Colors one of a pair of primary or secondary colors opposed to the other member of the pair on a schematic chart (color wheel), as green opposed to red, orange opposed to blue, or violet opposed to yellow 4. Distortion the state of being altered in appearance due to a variety of factors 5. Hue a gradation or variety of a color, pink is a hue of red 6. Overlap extend over and cover a part of 7. Shading the representation of the different values of color or light and dark in a painting or drawing 8. Still life the category of subject matter in which inanimate objects are represented, as in painting or photography 9. Transparent having the property of transmitting rays of light through its substance so that bodies situated beyond or behind can be distinctly seen 10.Transfer to copy or remove from one place to another
Transparent objects change visually when viewed through a glass container and water. Note how the straight lines curve, twist or bend.
Symmetry is one of the hardest tasks for an artist to create. This is a quick and easy way to solve that problem. Draw only one side of the vase as close as you can to the original curve or shape of the object. Fold a piece of tissue paper in half; then outline the side of the vase you think is the best. Trace Outline Tissue Paper
Transfer the first outline to the opposite side of the tissue paper, the one that is not drawn on. Now you have a well matched symmetrical object. You can trace this object to your original paper that you will draw the sunflowers (floral) arrangement. Tissue Paper Flip Outline 12 x 18 paper
Notice closely that where water is seen inside the clear vase, the stems are not clearly seen. Depending on lighting, vase shapes, and cut class, the stems will NOT appear straight. Waterline
Here s a great example of how water disrupts the vertical line of the stem. By re-creating similar distortion, you will as reality to your final drawing.
The vase and flowers are the subject of your drawing. Using the sunflowers in the classroom vase, create a personal interpretation of the still life.
Complementary colors need to used: flowers are warm. Red Yellow Orange Note the color of your flowers, then select hues to use in the still life that are pleasing to the eye. Shade the stems and flowers to demonstrate dimension.
The simplicity of this background will focus the eye to look closely at the subject. Be sure to overlap the subject in front of the background. You can create an imaginative but simple background.
Once your art piece is done; get a small amount of cooking oil in a mouthwash cup. Use a Q-Tip to blend the water in your picture. It will create a liquid appearance. Blot the oil, do not wipe off excess moisture.
Write on the other side if you run out of room. Name True or False: Date 1. To extend over and cover a part of an art piece is blending. 2. The part of a painting seen as being at maximum distance from the front is the background. 3. Lavender as a hue of purple is an example of hue. 4. To copy or remove from one place to another is to overlap. 5. When inanimate objects are represented as the subject in painting or photography is known as still life. 6. The representation of the values of color or light and dark in a painting or drawing is an example of transparency. 7. To mix smoothly and inseparably together is referred to as shading. 8. On the color wheel, the following colors are known as complementary colors: green opposed to red, orange opposed to blue, or violet opposed to yellow. 9. Having the property of transmitting light through its substance so that bodies situated beyond or behind can be seen is known as transfer. 10. The state of being altered in appearance due to a variety of factors is known as distortion. In your own words, explain how to create an object that is symmetrical using tissue paper (20 points).
