Students created a 2-page spread featuring pop up. In the background students added collaged papers to fill the negative space. They also included a title and definition for the page.
Once students have drawn out their rough draft, they will need to add shading. Dark for the back layer, medium for the middle layer and light for the top layer of the relief.
Today, the students will begin their next project to create a tile relief inspired by Roman Architecture.
Students will begin by creating 3 thumbnail sketches onto their rubric. They will then consult with Mrs. Denison to decide which is the best and enlarge that onto their rough draft.
Students created a 2-page spread featuring a text poem. In the background students choose either geometric or organic shapes to add with prismacolor pencils. They also included a title and definition for the page.
Once students have their plants glued down and their contours drawn out, they will then create various Zentangle-Inspired designs within each plant.
Once students have laid out their composition and glued it down, they should go over the contours with fine tip sharpie before adding the zentangle designs. That way, the design doesn't get confused with the contour lines.
Once students have drawn out all of their contours on the colored paper, they will cut them out and lay them out on the paper in order to create the best composition. Students should be sure to have overlapping plant shapes with very little negative space. They are able to hang off the edge of the paper if needed. Keep trying until you get the perfect composition!
Today we completed our first altered book 2-page spread on the element of LINE. Students created a linear collage with fancy/textured papers. They then added line design with colored sharpies and completed the page with the title: LINE and its definition. Students who were not able to complete the assignment in class today can take it home, come in to work in the mornings, or complete it as an early finisher when they finish projects early in class.
Those of you who are choosing to submit a yearbook cover design, I am attaching images of the color schemes that we have chosen for this year's yearbook.
