Understanding Balance and Symmetry • Today’s Objectives: • 1. Understand BALANCE and COLOR THEORY BELL QUESTIONS: What is the definition of “Element of Design”? What does COLOR THEORY mean? Where do we look to find color relationships?
When in the planning phase of a work of art, we understand how artists think about the arrangement of the Elements of Design - color, lines, shapes, textures, etc… WE will be focusing on arranging our artwork based on BALANCE & COLOR THEORY
LETS START OUR FIRST PROJECT! • Radial Name Designs • 6th Grade Students will learn and be able to demonstrate through art production: • Balance/Symmetry • Color Theory • In addition, students will become familiar with: • Project Introduction • Classroom Procedures • Project Assessment
Objective #1 B a l a n c e Balance refers to how objects are placed in a work of art. There is symmetrical balance and Asymmetrical balance Asymmetrical Symmetrical
“Hmm…SYMMMETRY? I have heard that word somewhere... Perhaps in a different class? DO YOU REMEMBER?”
Math - A shape that can be folded in such a way that one-half of it lies exactly on the other half. Also known as Line Symmetry
Art – Same is true, but also refers to a figure equal or near equal in visual weight. Does not have to be a mirror image.
Asymmetrical ( Balanced, yet different.) Symmetrical ( Balanced, near equal visual weight.)
RADIAL SYMMETRY balance based on a circle with its design extending from its center.
Radial Symmetry found in Art …as cultural expression… Indian Henna patterns Ancient Mayan Sun Symbols Pennsylvania Dutch Traditional Pattern Navajo Indian Sand Painting
…in architecture… Rose Window of the Cathedral of Notre Dame Paris, France. Interior View The Pantheon Rome, Italy
…various time periods…. Bronze Shield Boss, Medieval Dark Ages Cross of Creation, Ancient Roman Ancient Greek, Sun Medallion
…strange sightings of Radial Symmetry “Alien” Crop Circles, Alton Barnes, England Watermelon Garnish on a buffet table, artist unknown
Objective #2 Ways artists decide how to apply color to their artwork
Color Wheel A SYSTEM TO ORGANIZE COLORS It helps us mix colors and determine color relationships before we apply it to our artwork. You will be applying PRIMARY and SECONDARY COLORS to your projects.
The Primary Colors The word “primary” is an adjective used to describe anything that occurs first, or is most important. It makes sense that we call these colors primary, since all other colors come from them! PRIMARY COLOR MUSIC VIDEO
The Secondary Colors When you mix a Primary Color with another Primary Color, you will get a Secondary Color Secondary Colors are orange, green and purple red + yellow = orange yellow + blue = green blue + red = purple
Know the equation: primary + primary = secondary colorcolor color (Mixed with) (Equals)
Another way to remember which colors are primary and which colors are secondary…. ROYGBV P S P S P S /I (DO I DETECT A PATTERN, HERE??) primary secondary
What are the three types of symmetry? What are the primary colors? What are the secondary colors?
Your Assignment in a nutshell: • Using folded paper, a pencil and eraser, create a radial symmetry design based on your name in block letters. Color it based on primary/secondary color scheme using marker. Nutshells are SYMMETRICAL
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS: Today’s Agenda: Materials : worksheet, square white paper, pencil, eraser, light box/window • Project Presentation (we will go over Grading Rubric tomorrow) • Block Letter Demo –Document camera • Final draft paper (so you can get right to work after I see practice) • Name and period number lightly • Fold together • One person from each table put away final paper • One person from each table pick up Block Letter Practice • Work on Block Letter Practice until end of period. Use a ruler.
Wednesday’s Objective: • Ms. Strattan demo transferring name onto Triangle! • Finish up practice worksheet • Check your work with your neighbor/ Ms. Strattan • Draw your names • Transfer to make a radial design • Color it using Primary/Secondary! (use marker in one direction and use lightest colors first!!)
