PART 1

ElementsCreate Emotion with the Elements

Create an emotional composition- Use cut paper only- simple shapes, no lines, no drawing on a 9 x 12″ paper or larger. Work solely with paper and scissors, using colors to match the emotions. Keep the shapes as simple as possible, concentrating on shapes and colors that elicit an emotion- ex. Fear-sense of flight rather than on the realistic representation of body parts. Before you begin, ask 2 sets of questions:

1. What is the essence of the person/creature/thing I want to represent? What specific elements in this situation evoke strong feelings in me? How can I accentuate these?
2. What feeling do I want to evoke with this picture, and what elements might I use to do this?
3. The first questions deal with the subject at hand, the second with emotions and elements. List the structural elements most essential for each category; for example, you want to evoke fear. Keep returning to these questions when your picture doesnt seem to be working. The solution is almost always in one of the two categories.

Example from the Molly Bang book, Little Red Riding Hood. The violet creates twilight which is creepier than day time. The black trees and angles leave them unstable. The red angular tongue and eye visually connect with Red and create more tension.

This one is more playful, bright color, happier and has a sense of motion.

PART 2

Presentation Design Presentation

Report on an artist and talk about their work in terms of 2D design.

Pick a visual artist or designer you are interested in from any time period, working in any medium. ( I want you to find an artist you don’t know much about). Research that artist and address ALL of these prompts:

• a brief history of their life, including events happening at the time they live or lived and were working, and other art movements happening at the same time they were working, any art movement they belong or belonged to, any criticism they’ve received
• their theories on art,
• a summary of their body of work- show at least 4-6 works of their art that you will analyze thoroughly. (You can show more examples throughout the project that don’t have to be analyzed).
• what were the main elements and principles of design they tend or tended to use,- this should be the main focus of your talk – analyzing their work.

Youll have to read not only about the artist, but articles written about their work (from art magazines for example, books written) and research the time period in which they were working. Remember to cite resources correctly and use your own words.

Your notes (expanded upon) and thoughts for the presentation should be written clearly. (FYI to be sure you have enough information prepared for the oral presentation; 500-600 words is the approximate equivalent of a 5-6 minute speech), create a powerpoint (or equivalent) presentation (include key points, images of work, the artist, other work going on at that time) and present it to the class ( you will do this by sharing your screen in zoom). Plan on approximately a 5-10 minute presentation. Nothing written will be handed in. It is all in the presentation.

Use Canvas Studio to create your video presentation. Create your slide presentation first before recording your screen.

Write a script for you to use for your presentation. Then you will record your presentation (screen and/or you) using Studio and upload it to this discussion. (Instructions below).

Plan on approximately a 5-6 minute presentation ONLY. Be concise!

After uploading your own video, View classmates videos so you can learn about even more artists. Respond to 2 other presentations within 1 day of the due date.

Pay attention to the Due Date!

So:

1. Research your artist.
2. Write a script and create a visual presentation to record according to the prompts above.

PART 3

InitialsInitials

Part I:

Create different rectangles of color and proportion out of cut colored paper to create a grid on an 18 x 24 piece of paper. Use the initials of your name, alter them, distort them, change color in several different ways from cut paper on the grid rectangles of different colors and proportions. Use colors (value, intensity, complements, etc), shapes, cropping and distortion of initials to make a dynamic design. Organize to control the viewer’s exploration of the design. You should have at least 12 separate rectangles of color on the grid. You can have more. Think Balance. Focus on an area division, freed from strict rectangulation, exploiting the maximum dynamic by using fragmented components. See examples.

Hint: Do not glue down the grid until you are sure of your layout. Move them around to balance colors and shapes until you are satisfied. Then do the same with the initials. Do not glue them down until you lay out the entire design and you are satisfied with the balance of colors, shapes and values.

Part II:

Write a critique of at least 2 other posts within 24 hours of the due date.
