Art In The Classroom: 1st Year - Sketchbooks (catch-up). 🎨🖍🖌

🖌 1st Year - Sketchbooks 🖍

In our sketchbooks we explored our Art Elements & Design Principles (A.E.D.P),

we then started to learn new keywords as we moved along such as primary sources.

Here are some important work that needs to be in your sketchbook!! 🎨📖

1. Dot - imagination drawing. Homework - draw 2 leaves using dots & lines.

2. Line - types of lines.

3. Lines & patterns - drawing of hand with sections in pattern.

4. Lines & Shapes - observational drawing - cup.

5. Lines & grids - Michael Craig Martin inspired.

6. Tone - Tone letters & shape shading.

7. Monochrome & Observational Drawing.

Below are images students work to help you catch up on what you have missed!

🖌 - This means write this keyword and defintion at the bottom or top of your page.

🖍 - This means this is your task/what you have to do.

1. Art Elements!

We explored Dot first by looking at artists who use dots in their work.

We looked at : Roy Lichtenstein, George Seurat (both use very small dots)

& Yayoi Kusama - a Japanese artist who is still alive & working today!

🖍Created a drawing from your imagination using dots!

🖌Keyword: "A dot is a round mark made by a pointed tool"

Here are examples of two students work - use colour if you would like to.

* Homework was then to draw two leaves for homework using line & dots

2. Line -

🖍Draw out these types of lines!

🖌 Keyword: Line " A line is a dot that went for a walk"

3. Lines & Pattern 🖌Keyword : "A pattern is a repeated decorative design."🖍Step 1: Measure out 8 boxes using a ruler🖍Step 2: Trace around your hand in the middle of the page🖍Step 3: Create different lines in each section, use colour too!

4. Lines & Shape

Artists we looked at Kandinsky & Michael Craig-Martin

🖌Keyword Shape: " When a line bends, a shape begins! A shape is a closed line.

🖍 Create an observational drawing of a cup using line and decorate using shapes & patterns.

5.Lines & Grids.

In class we began to done some research on 'stuff' - we discussed we things we used every day, and think very little about. We used the artists Michael Craig Martins (MCM) work 'Sharpener' and we learned how to grid using numeracy.

🖍 Step 1. Measure equally 3 boxes down and 3 across using a pencil.

🖍Step 2. On coloured sugar paper repeat and measure equally 3 boxes down + 3across

🖍Step 3. One box at a time draw in the sharpener lines into the box on your colour paper.

🖍Step 4. After using a pencil go over your finished lines with a marker.

6. Tone - Letters & Shape shading

🖌Keyword "Tone is shades in light & dark."

(Tonal Drawing Exercise) Use the images above for help.

🖍1. Tonal Grid - this is shading light to dark (changing the pressure on your pencil)

🖍2. Apply shading, showing tone to the shapes to show form. (make them look 3D)

(TONES) Use the images above for help.

🖍1. Write the word Tones 4 times in big bubble/block writing filling up your page.

🖍2. T being the Lightest and S being the darked begin to shade light to dark

Tones 1 - Shading just using a normal pencil

Tones 2 - Shading using 1 coloured pencil

Tones 3 - Shading using Dots (the closer the dots are the darker the area)

Tones 4 - Shading using Lines (the closer the lines are the darker the area)

7. Monochrome & Observational Drawing.

🖌Keyword- "Monochromatic - containing or using only one colour in various tones"

🖍 Create a drawing of a primary source object (an object in front of you) using monochrome! You can use pencil or coloured pencil. Dont forget to do your tonal grid!!
