High School Art


Scupting the human face out of toilet paper. 
It worked best to spray down each piece of TP that was used, rather than dunking it in water.  This allowed greter freedom in making the sculpture.
 

Unity
 In Unity, the whole must be predominant over the parts.  Imagine that you are looking at a football team - the TEAM is dominant over the individual players. My Art 2 student was given the task to create a compostion, using crayons as a subject, to illustrate unity.  
 I asked her to use oil pastels, as this was a medium she was not accustomed to.  Great JOB!!!!


Color Harmonies: Triadic, Analogous, Split Complemetary
Students picked one of the above listed color harmonies out of a box and had to collage over a gray scale portrait.  Students were able to choose their palette off of the color wheels that had been completed in a previous class.




 Monochromatic portraits vs. Andy Warhol





In looking at composition and complementary colors, I asked students to work through a process.
1- First, the students were given an outlined image to duplicate on their papers, paying attention to composition and placement.
2-Once the image was duplicated (I downloaded free coloring pages for them to choose from), I asked that they divide the composition up - radiating outwards from the center - as if there was shattered glass over it.
3- They were instructed to list two complementary colors on the back of their piece and they could not deviate from this choice.
4- Students were asked to render their piece in these two complementary colors, using all shades and tints available within each colors spectrum
