Art I

Project: Accordion Book- Finish the last three Definitions of Principles; Movement, Balance and Unity. This Accordion Book was our first project in class. Students listed the Elements of Design on one side of the book (Shape, Line, Color, Value, Form, Texture and line) and the Principles of Design on the other side (Pattern, Balance, Rhythm, Movement, Emphasis, Contrast and Unity). Each page had a definition of the learned term and showed an example of it in a drawing.
Due Date- Tuesday 9/22
Materials: Colored Pencils

Project: Color Theory Painting- On Tuesday students will be transfering their unity drawing from their accordion books to a 12" X12" piece of water color paper. They will then divide the paper into 9 sections. Wednesday students will learn the proper technique for watercoloring and brush care. They will learn color terms and show examples of these terms within each section of their painting. Here are the terms in order given in class: Primary, secondary, complementary, intermediate, warm, cool, analogous, monochromatic and neutral.
Due Date- Tuesday 9/30
Materials needed: None (own brush-optional)

Jewelry/Textiles

Project: Linked Spiral Bracelet- I am looking to see that all links are relativly similar in size and design. Proper connections are made and that there is a functional hook.
Due Date: 9/23
Materials: 18 Gauged wire and tools

Project: Your Designed Links- Students are to design their own links to create a necklace. There should not be any more than two different links.

Size and design are left up to the designer.
