Corrections for Quiz 3.

Students,
Bellow are the answers in sentence form that you can copy to do your corrections (for extra grade) this time.  The formatt is the same as always.  Remember to only copy the items that you missed from Quiz 3.




1.         A clay or “ceramic bowl, cup, sculpture is an example of a 3/D FORM.

2.         A ceramic bowl with an image on the side that tells a story is made for both functional and narrative        purpose.

3.         Orange is a warm color, and can be used (painted onto objects) to make that object appear closer to the             viewer.

4.         Violet and yellow are color complements (opposites).  They are on opposite sides of the color wheel.

5.         One point perspective is a very scientific technique used to create true perspective in an image.

6.         In order to make an abstract portrait, the artist will use geometric shapes and line to make the face         instead of organic.

7.         When you mix color complements you will make brown or gray.
           
8.         Clay is mostly used to make functional art (ceramics).

9.         Red, yellow, and blue are primary colors.

10.       To create a deep looking space, an artist can use a vanishing point as a guide to narrow objects as they go back to the horizon.

Art/design, Math, and Science...

Hey Gang,

Yesterday (October 19th, 2010) we learned a mathmatical formula an artist would use by hand to "center" a "Block Letter Word Design" which looks something like the following:

1.   Decide the number of letters in your design.   = Three

2.   Measure Your work space on your paper.  =  8.5" (tall) x 11" (wide).

3.  Subtract one whole inch ( to compensate for the half-inch border around the perimiter of your paper).  This should leave you with 7.5" x 10."

4.  Divide the number of letters in your design into the inches wide of your actual work space (10").  The answer tells you how wide each letter of your design can be, without being too large for the space on your paper.


We also practiced doing some block lettering.  This was demonstrated by drawing a box each letter will be placed in first.  The box equals the overall dimensions of the letter itself.   Click the link below to see more. :)

FINISH NARRATIVE PAINTINGS - using glazing technique

October 11th and 12th (Monday and Tuesday) : 7th GRADE STUDENTS...

Today and yesterday, students are developing colors with paint on the NARRATIVE Paintings.

The color mixing technique students are to use is called "Glazing." 

Glazing:  layering one color (slightly see-through) on top of another to make a new one.  An example of this is painting blue on top of the existing yellow in order to make green.  This works when painting "wet onto wet" or "wet onto dry." 

The Purpose of the Painting is:  NARRATIVE (for seventh grade). 

Students should be studying, but there is NO QUIZ THIS COMING FRIDAY.

NOTE:  YOUR PAINTING IS DUE AT THE END OF CLASS WEDNESDAY. (Oct. 13th).
