So if you haven't noticed already I find teaching black/white, positive Negative, and attention to detail extremely important at the start of any class. Whether it be Graphics {SEE HERE} or Fine art. {See below}
I kicked off the first lesson in a Foundations of Art & Intermediate classes with a focus on the Art Element Line. Students explored the use of line to create structured patterns that were [Positive, Negative, Organic and Geometric] After a lecture on the use of Line in various art works, both 2-d & 3-d, students were given a short drawing exercise creating 4 zentangle squares that explored the [PNOG] patterns.
For both the Foundations and Intermediate Art class the project was divided into two phases.
Phase 1: Zentangle drawing exercise & planning
Phase 2: Final Design Creation
For both the Foundations and Intermediate Art class the project was divided into two phases.
Phase 1: Zentangle drawing exercise & planning
Phase 2: Final Design Creation
In Phase 2: I had students begin with creating an abstract organic/geometric shape {step 1}
They began to create large detail, followed by refined detail and more zentangle exploration {Step 2}.
Once the design layout compositions were strong enough,
students recreated their sketch on 12 by 12 inch white paper [1.5 inch border] {Step 3}
..and last but not least their photo-op {I was informed this morning that their photos should be posted ASAP :) } {here you go guys}
For an upper level Modification, I required the Art II: Intermediate students to sketch a 3 part panel. The panel had to include an animal and setting. The panels had to alternate positive/negative and include complex structured patterns. {More photos will be posted soon}
