  3. What makes a work of art “good”?

  4. Examine the prints • Which one would you say is your favorite? • Why is it your favorite? • What stands out about it? • How does it emphasize the word at your table? • In what way does the other image fail? • Does everyone in your group agree with you? • How can the artist of the other print (the not good one) make it better?

  5. Characteristics of art Good Not Good • Composition makes sense • Objects are grounded on the paper and fit correctly • Artist used all of the space around the objects • Artist added value to imply 3 Dimensions • Composition doesn’t make sense – why are these things together? • Objects are too small/too big and seem to be floating on the paper • The background is neglected • There is no shading or bad shading. It looks flat

  6. Are these always good/bad characteristics? • Sometimes artists don’t want to follow the rules. Sometimes they want to make art that causes discord because it makes us look at it longer and talk about it. This is not pretty, and doesn’t follow the rules, but people still talk about it because it is interesting

  7. Why do we use the elements/principles of art? Don’t forget the date!!! September 9, 2011

  8. Bad Composition/Placement Unbalanced Too Tiny on the paper

  9. Good Composition • http://www.draw23.com/drawing-composition • Would moving the objects to the left/right/up/down make the image look more balanced? • Would "zooming in" or "zooming out" from the picture make it look more balanced? • Are the spaces between the objects balanced?

  10. Make this image balanced Move the Circle

  11. Measuring/Proportion • An easy way to make sure your drawing looks like it makes sense is to make the objects proportionate to each other • The best way to do this is to use dowel rods to measure long distances against short ones and to get the right angle. How does this angle How many of these Relate to this one? Fits into this? Answer: 1.5

  12. What are we doing? • Using three classroom objects, put together a still life. • Use the measuring techniques along with what we’ve learned about placement and composition to draw a contour drawing of your still life • Don’t worry too much about the details!! All we want is the outline. • Make sure it’s proportional!!!

  13. Can a drawing go off the edge of a paper? Why/why not? Don’t forget the date!!! September 16, 2011

  14. Positive/Negative Space • Positive space is the object we are meaning to draw • Negative space is the around the object, often called the background

  15. What we are doing • Fill in the objects of your still life with one color • Fill in the negative space with its complement • Complementary colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel Yellow Blue Red Orange Purple Green

  16. What is one way to make 2-D drawings look 3-D? Don’t forget the date!!! September 23, 2011

  17. Value • How we add depth and make a 2-D drawing look like it’s 3-D • Incidental Inherent

  18. Incidental value • Where the light hits and causes a change in the value • Varies depending on the time of day, type of light, etc. What we are doing? Using your still life from the last class period, add black ink to where there is shadow An easy way to tell is to hold your finger over it, can you see the shadow of your finger? If you can, then that part is not in shadow The rest is left white

  19. Inherent Value • Value caused by the color/shape of the object • Does not change What are we doing? Using your still life from the other day, take the vine charcoal and completely cover the drawing. Blend with paper towel Add darker charcoal to make the dark parts, erase the charcoal to make the light parts. You should have at least 3 different shades!!

  20. When you’re done… • Mat all three/four of your drawings to black paper • Write your name on the back of the black paper • Fill out the self assessment with pencil • Tape it to the back of your drawings • Put in the box for me to grade!!! Most important part!!
