5 MINUTEWARM-UPS 1ST QUARTER 2013
Be sure to write the week & date in your sketchbook! • WEEK 1: SEPT 3-6 Why do people make art? Why do YOUmake art? 1. Look through the books in the art room bookshelf. Please, list 5 very different types/time periods/people/styles of art. 2. Next, make an educated guess as to why they itwas made (be sure to support it!) ie. Egyptians made art to honor their gods, because I see that they used fancy stones. Now, think of why you’re here. If you chose to be here, what do you want to make? What does it do for you? Please write at least 5 sentences.
WEEK 2: SEPT 9-13 Be sure to write the week & date in your sketchbook! YES NO practice makes per…you a BETTER drawer! Please take a moment to find something from the box. Practice drawing it quickly and simply. JUST THE BASICS. No shading, no smudging, JUST LINES By Friday, you must have 50 drawings in your sketchbook. (BE SURE TO NUMBER THEM!) (it’s just 10 per day, don’t freak out) REMEMBER: Draw what you SEE, not what you KNOW. You should be looking at your object 98.52% of the time

WEEK 5: SEPT 30-OCT 4 Please do your best to recreate this image. (Don’t worry about the newspaper…) What I will be looking for: -PROPORTION The cup should fill almost half of the page. (hint: look to see if it cuts off at ½ the page, ¼ page, etc.) -VALUE Though the cup is white, the only white of the page should be the highlights. Everything will be versions of light, medium, dark grey.
WEEK 6: OCT 7-11 perspective Please draw 3-5 boxes (not all squares!) using 2 point perspective on one or two pages. (Don’t forget to make Ms. Kaycie show you how…she tends to forget…) Then, turn those boxes into something else. Is it a store sign? Birthday present? Bench? Embellish and have fun!
WEEK 7: OCT 14-17 Line Repetition Please, fill one page with a detailed, complex pattern or doodle, also called zentangle. KEEP IN MIND -Lines are not just as thick as your pen. Draw with thick, thin, medium lines! -Think of SPACE, chunk up your patterns with an image or just lines. Some are really full and tight, others have more white space. -Patterns mean REPEATING things. Lines, dots, squiggles, leaves, stars, anything can become a pattern!
WEEK 8: OCT 21-25 FREE DRAW! • The choice is up to you! Find a prompt online or on your own, be sure to write it down first, then fill 1-2 pages with that prompt. Make it a good one to get full points! Did your prompt make you think? Did it challenge your skills? …Or did you pick to draw something you already knew how to do?
