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!
8. What is the foreground of an artwork? What is the background of an artwork?
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.
