You have already created your glue relief prints from your glued cardboard base design. This lesson is to see how well you can communicate and precisely describe in great detail how to explain the multi-step process of creating a glue relief print from start to finish so that another person reading the instructions can follow the instructions with illustrations and end up with the same results. Illustrations must be created by you, not from the internet. Upload to moodle by date due.

You have already created your original CD Cover (front and back). This lesson is to see how well you can communicate and precisely describe in great detail how to write step-by-step instructions so another person reading your instructions can follow along with illustrations and end up with the same results. You are to use Keynote for this project and upload your presentation to my moodle.

You will be creating a design that shows depth through the use of overlapping layers of torn colored tissue paper. Light colors need to be applied first. This will take some planning on your part. Remember that primary colors blend to create secondary colors. Do not worry about wrinkles or bleeding that can be created when applying the tissue paper.

Using the computer, students decide whether to create their graffiti design using their first, last name or monogram of their initials.

Students picked between two still life sets that were set-up in the classroom to draw. The still life included bottles, lamp fixtures, jugs and burlap fabric. A quick 2 or 3-day drawing project.

Students learn parts of a flower, various shapes of flowers, and colors of flowers through online researching. A quiz created through Moodle will determine whether they receive their 10 points through the research section of this rubric.

Draw in pencil a line design that does not have any area that is larger than 1/2 inch wide on to a thick cardboard base. Trace over penciled design with a thick line of Elmer's Glue. Allow to dry overnight and apply another line the following day. (A third coat of glue might be advantageous.) When glue is dry, work on preparing the paper for printing by adding some guidelines to the paper. Rough edges of printing paper can also add an artistic touch. You will make 3 copies of your print using colored construction paper. Evenly add finished project to black construction paper to create the look of framing. When you are finished with creating your (3) prints, cover your glued relief in heavy duty aluminum foil. Use a burnishing tool to help the foil into the creases between the glue lines. Paint black india ink over the aluminum foil to add depth to the overall piece of artwork. Very lightly, wipe off excess ink. Add artwork to black construction paper for displaying.

At some point, students need to be introduced to critiquing of artwork. One way for students to learn to critique is through evaluating classroom art together. By making most of the questions/answers precise (yes & no) and personally non-judgemental, students should not make personal judgements based on who created the artwork. This is not a personality contest. This is based on the artwork itself. Be honest in your answers/evaluation.

Teacher applies 50 cent size drop of india ink near the center of 12x18 white tag board with approx. five (5) legs. Students use soda straw to properly blow the ink easily in to all directions. Allow ink to dry overnight and use the rest of the class time creating balanced patterns / designs for this project. Using colored markers, students make line designs inside the areas made by the blown lines. Repetition of shapes to form line patterns can also be used to fill in these areas. A line can be achieved by a row of shapes as well as a solid line. Do not leave large white areas between your lines. Repeat each pattern at least three (3) times so your design stays in balance.

A rubric that evaluates the use of art in advertisements, especially those of student created ones.

Create a design that is symmetrically balanced on a sheet of 12x18 white drawing paper using a tracing technique. Your design should include at least 4 colors and make sure the edges are neat, sharp and the paint is dark and opaque.

People often express their feelings about historical issues or events through artwork such as songs, novels, short stories, paintings, sculptures and movies. For this project you will do six steps: 1. You will choose a work of art (painter, cartoonist, poster illustrator, or sculptor/artist) which represents a HISTORICAL EVENT. 2 & 3. You will research the ARTIST (include background information) and analyze the artist's artwork you selected. 4. You will create your own presentation using Photo Booth, iPhoto, iMovie, Pages and / or Keynote. 5 & 6. You will change your project to a PDF and upload your presentation to my Moodle and finally make your presentation to class. Be prepared to answer a question(s) from the class or the teacher. Your presentation should be at least 15-20+ slides/images in length.

Graphic artwork can be found everywhere. Students will learn to use some Macbook Programs (such as; Keynote, iphoto, photobooth, Gimp/X11) and various free internet programs (such as; picnik.com) to create your original CD Cover(2) (front & back). Change image(s) to pdf and upload to moodle for evaluation. Turn in rubric after uploading to moodle for grading.

Draw artwork/line drawing of Igor Stravinsky by Picasso upside down using grid lines to enlarge appropriately to proper scale and proportion.

Using photobooth, take pictures of your own hands signing your initials. Save the pictures to your desktop. Draw 3 1/2-4" sized hands, in contour, with pencil, your initials (three required) in sign language using gray construction paper. Consider the interior and exterior lines, add shading and line details inside the contour of the hands with pencil. Using masking tape, tape off evenly a 1/2 inch on top and sides of white (12x18) paper and 1 inch on the bottom on to thermo core base for stability. Paint a value scale (3 minimum) with your favorite color using Tempera Paint for the background and then add one (using the same color hue) line that symbolizes your personality. Allow project to dry most of the way before taking off masking tape. Cut out and glue signing hands to finished background. Sign your name (using a pencil) to the lower right hand side of the artwork before turning in with rubric for grading.

Students will follow directions in order to make 8-10 various Japanese origami creations using origami colored paper.

Students will work with a partner and create their own Egyptian profile panel. Students will draw a side profile of their partners face. Each student will add an Egyptian head dress, their name and 3 things about them in hieroglyphs. They will finish their profiles by coloring the hieroglyphs in colored pencil and watercolor the remaining areas.

Using a wooden pencil, students initially draw several unusual/uneven shapes (each approx. 3-4") on manilla tagboard then decide with teacher & cut out the unique shape. (Stay away from letters and numbers for shapes.)Again, using your wooden pencil, place your shape at various angles and very lightly sketch them on white tagboard leaving approx. 2" between the shapes. Lightly draw straight or curving lines between the shapes. (This will create the negative areas for patterns) Then begin creating colored tight-knit patterns using colored markers on scrap paper. Remember, patterns repeat. When you have created enough tight-knit patterns, you may begin drawing patterns on the white tagboard. Hint: Write on back of tagboard names of colors used so that you use the same color in your pattern. DO NOT OUTLINE shapes or patterns. Erase any pencil markings before turning in project with your rubric for grading.
