Please give the lecture on the Principles of Design today. I have opened this on your computer. Students are to take good notes as they will be tested on this material at a later date.
Art History Assignment
Students are to select an Artist featured in one of the Scholastic Art Magazine in the plastic bins provided on the table. Students are to read about their chosen artist and then do the following activity below. Students can use the computers for research as well (please monitor their use).
Assignment:
Students are to use a full sheet of paper (located on the paper cutter) and oil pastels (on the back counter) to create their artwork. On one side of the paper students will provide a brief bio of their chosen artist. On the other side of the paper, students should imitate the style or copy a work of art from their chosen artist.
Example:
One side of the paper will have art history:
