Complete the mask "chapter" of your sketchbook using the following links to help you:
Today is the ONLY day you will have in the computer lab.

  • DO THIS FIRST!!  On pages 6-7, use the website masks of the world to find examples of masks that might inspire your own alter ego mask.
  • On page 2, complete the definitions for the unit vocabulary in YOUR OWN WORDS! You might have to check a few different websites if you don't understand one definition...that's okay to do! :)  Click here for a good art dictionary.
  • If you have time, begin/continue working on sketches on pages 8-9 that uses the masks you have seen today as inspiration for your brainstorming.

The work of a student from Farragut!





Paper Mache Relief Sculptures!!
For the next project, you will be creating a relief sculpture inspired by an artwork (like the one shown above) out of paper mache.  The following blog assignment will help you get started.  

You have today only to work in the computer lab.  Respond to the questions in the blog guide from Ms. Swanson.

1. After reading from the following link, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papier-mâché) write a definition for paper mache and a definition for armature.

2. Watch the following video on creating a paper mache dragon.  What are two technique ideas for interesting things you can do with paper mache?


3. Look at the following link (www.artlex.com/ArtLex/r/relief.html)
Complete the frayer model on relief sculpture from the information given on this page.

4.  Read the following requirements for creating the relief sculpture and write one question you have about creating the sculpture.

·      Use a professional artwork to form the image for your relief sculpture
·      Make at least three areas in the artwork three-dimensional using paper mache.
·      Paint the relief sculpture so it looks textured while also mixing unique colors.
·      As always, you will also be graded for craftsmanship, effort, creativity, and use of class time.

5. Look on the following website and find an image that interests you. (www.artcyclopedia.com)  Write the name of the artist, the title, and the year of this work. Then, copy only part of the image to create an interesting composition.  Remember, pay attention to kinds of lines, and how sizes and shapes of lines compare with one another.  Don't judge yourself!  You will draw it differently because you are different than the artist!  Just do your best!

6.  Search on wikipedia.com for the artist that you used for #5.  Write three facts about this artist.

7.  Extra Credit - Look at the following link. (http://www.rheagiffin.com/nwpmag.htm) Click on an artist to view more of their work.  Choose one artwork that you really like.  Write 4 sentences describing the image and 2 sentences that explain why you find it interesting.

Creating a Collograph...and some other art 1 business...due Thursday, 9/25
Please write your answer so that you know what the original question was. These are your notes! Make them useful!


Quick computer tip...if you press Ctrl N, you'll open a new window. That way, you'll have the original assignment and the links in separate windows so you can toggle between the two.

1. Go to farragutcareeracademy.org Click on "Classes." Find this class and click on it to see the homework assignments we have had for this class. Copy the requirements down for our next project, "Creating a Collograph Print." (Don't worry if you don't know some of the vocabulary words in the requirements yet!)

2. What is the inspirational quote you were thinking of using for this project? Search for some other ideas by clicking here.

3. Before you can start thinking of how you are going to turn quote into an image, you've got to find out, WHAT IS A COLLOGRAPH?

4. Look at the photos and write the steps you need to follow to create your print. Look here to see what that process looks like.

5. And what do the end results look like? Notice how important texture is to making these prints. Make a sketch of your 3 favorite artworks and write the name of the artist. Hint: click on the image that is interesting to you so you can look at it larger! Below are some links to a few online galleries.

6. What does inspiration mean?

7. Now, what ideas do you have for your collograph print? Make a list of things or objects that could be used to show your quote. Remember, this image will be inspired by the quote...mystery in an image is good!


9. List at least 3 things an artist does to make something look farther away.

10. Trace your ID 5 times in your sketchbook. Inside of each, draw an idea for your collograph print. Remember, use two things/objects to show your quote. (Think metaphorically! Think poetically! Think mysteriously!) Make the image in the background smaller to make it look further away. Have fun! I should see at least three sketches where you are repeating the objects, just showing them in different ways. If you need to look at an image for a reference, try doing a search on google images.
