Section A 5/6 is progressing along nicely with their three dimensional project. Many students finished cutting out their cardboard pieces, and have prepped these by painting them white.
Today we added a new piece of criteria to the cardboard relief project. The relief needs to show evidence of three different levels or layers.
Project details for both the 2D and 3D projects:
- Project must be a minimum dimension of 22" by 22"
- Color Mixing - All twelve colors are present and are easily identified by the observer. The student must demonstrate or show:
- Primary Colors (3)
- Secondary (3)
- Tertiary (6)
- Symmetry - is to be created by using various shapes that create a pattern. The use of analogous and complimentary colors will also be used to achieve symmetry.
- Rhythm - The student will be able to describe the type of rhythm or motif used in the artwork; along with identifying one of the five different types of rhythm discussed in class (FAR2P):
- Flowing
- Alternating
- Random
- Regular
- Progressive
- Craftspersonship -
- The design is to be symmetrical.
- Smooth application of paint should be applied to the surface of the paper or cardboard ("Take your brush for a long walk!")
- The quality of the strokes looks neat and flowing. It does not look like it was done with a magic marker (short choppy brush strokes causing "lines" in the paint).
- Cardboard is cut in a neat fashion. There is no evidence of frays or choppy cuts.
- Gluing of cardboard shapes and parts is neat and gobs of glue are not present on the finished piece.
- Cardboard compositions are wall ready. The student considered how the relief will be displayed.
- Relief - Three different elevations are established from the backing or mounting piece of the project.
