REVISED JANUARY 31st
Assignments 12, 13, 14 and 15 were due before the Winter Break. If you have not turned them in yet, SEE ME IMMEDIATELY! Assignments 16, 17 and 18 are due no later than FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd. Assignment 19 is due no later than TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6th. All project work is to be submitted via email at the addresses provided recently in a separate blog post. PLEASE make sure you carefully follow the directions for submitting work. Your work will not be graded otherwise. 1. Using any credible sources (websites published by schools, professional organizations, professional artists, teachers, etc... pretty much any sites except personal blogs, chat rooms, forums and social media), research and collect information about the Elements and Principles of Art (sometimes called the Elements and Principles of Design.) Search terms like "Elements of Art", "Elements of Design", "Principles of Art" or any of the individual Elements or Principles (ex. "Color") followed by "art elements" or "art principles"... stuff like that. 2. Begin a Word document on your computer entitled The Elements and Principles of Art Research Project. 3. Collect ten (10) factual statements for each of the six (6) Elements and fourteen (14) Principles. Write them down (or feel free to copy and paste them) in a numbered list, making a separate section for each Element and Principle, like the example below: Line 1. Lines love to play boardgames. (Not an actual fact, just a silly example. Please do not use) 2. Lines have recently gotten into the world of online dating. (Not an actual fact, just a silly example. Please do not use) 3. Lines have feelings too. (Not an actual fact, just a silly example. Please do not use) 4. Lines tend to talk about themselves way too much at parties. (Not an actual fact, just a silly example. Please do not use) 5. Most lines do not have college degrees. (Not an actual fact, just a silly example. Please do not use) 6. In China, families are limited to having only one line. (Not an actual fact, just a silly example. Please do not use) 7. Lines have been banned from using social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter. (Not an actual fact, just a silly example. Please do not use) 8. Lines are generally happy elements. (Not an actual fact, just a silly example. Please do not use) 9. Lines are not allowed to participate in reindeer games. (Not an actual fact, just a silly example. Please do not use) 10. If you are still reading this list, well done! Now get to work. That's 200 facts all together. Make sure that your Word documents is formatted using 10 pt. Arial, Helvetica or Times Roman font. The list of the Elements and Principles is located below. Note: "Shape/Form" is considered one Element. Collect five facts for "Shape" and five facts for "Form". The following is the official list (per DCPS newly-adopted curriculum) of the Elements and Principles of Art:
The Elements of Art (The basic building blocks of visual art and design) Line Shape/Form Space Color Value Texture The Principles of Art (The "rules" for the skillful and effective creation of visual art and design) Balance Emphasis Movement Pattern Repetition Proportion Rhythm Variety Unity Composition Focal Point Foreground Mid-ground Background Digital Art students will complete the assignment in Pixlr, Sumo or Photoshop. ASSIGNMENT Ceate an illustration that completes the following statement: Today NASA looked further into deep space than ever before. The first photographs taken by the new J. Landon telescope, the only telescope ever to be located on earth's moon, were viewed and analyzed by NASA scientists. The team of deep space astronomers were SHOCKED to find photographic evidence of... Students should complete this assignment with the same care as all previous assignments, with emphasis on high-quality photo editing and compositing. The images created should look as realistic and believable as possible while being highly imaginative and creative. Effective January 18, 2018, JLCP Digital Art students must now submit project work electronically by following the steps below.
1. Send email to: Period 3a students to [email protected] Period 6b students to [email protected] Period 7b students to [email protected] 2. IN THE SUBJECT LINE, write your name and assignment number(s) EXACTLY as shown in the example below (in this case, as if I were turning in my own work for grading): Daniel Loughran Assignments 10, 11, 12 YOUR WORK WILL NOT BE GRADED WITHOUT THE PROPERLY WRITTEN SUBJECT LINE. 3. Attach to your email the projects you are turning in for grading. They must be saved as .jpg files unless I tell you to do otherwise. Design a Creative Alphabet
In Pixlr, Sumo or Photoshop, create a font using cut/copied and pasted pieces of digital photo images. Each letter must be designed using two or more objects (or pieces of objects) taken from different photos. Create an uppercase and lowercase version of each letter. See the example below. I suggest creating a workspace measuring approximately 1200x2400 pixels in which to assemble and layout your alphabet. Students and/or parents with questions regarding grades for the SECOND nine week grading period may send those questions to [email protected]
If your question concerns an assignment that was not graded but you believe was turned in, attach to your email a copy (.jpg or .png file) of that assignment. Repurposing
Choose an object. Design a product that serves a completely different purpose from the original object. Create both a "blueprint drawing" of your repurposed object (using Inkscape) as well as a "conceptual illustration" of what the new product will look like as it's being used (using Pixlr). |
