Dear Parents,
We are in the process of revising the art syllabus. It will be sent home at a later date.
The following art supplies will be needed by Monday, 9/18/18. (a note was sent home the first week)
Spiral-bound sketch book
A few additional supplies may be required, but ample notice will be given.
During your time away due to Hurricane Florence you may begin your next project: Zentangles
Zentangle Project Due date: 3-4 days from start to finish
Write a Reflection entitled: Zentangles (Due on DAY 1)
Should be 10 or more sentences and answer the questions what is “The Zentangle Method” and “Zentangle Art.” It should include what you learned about them/purpose, what you like/dislike about them why/why not.
1. Google zentangle, explore different styles/designs (30 minute time limit during class of DAY 1)
2. Pick a variety that is interesting and challenging and start a collection of “tiles” in your sketchbook (do not remove page.) Although you can use ideas that you have researched,you must create your own original designs. (Time allowed 1 to 1½ days)
3. Choose an “image” and “fill” it in with your designs to create your own piece of art.
4. You may begin with pencil and go over image with pens or colored pencils (black or colors) or if you are confident in yourself you may start you designs with pen/colored pencils.
5. You may use a drawing pencil for coloring and shading but must erase all pencil marks that are not part of the design when complete.
Image Ideas: A shape, an animal (whole or part), a person/face or other body part, nature scene/ flower/tree/water/mountain…, building, the possibilities are endless
You may start with a “snake” today for practice and for the fun of it by drawing a simple snake design (see example) and fill it with a variety of zentangle “tiles.”
At the completion of your project you will write another Reflection entitled:
My Zentangle Art (Due day 3 or 4)
Should be 10 sentences (or more) and answer the questions why you chose your design/image.
Why you chose your color/black and white. It should include what you learned about this project,
what you like/dislike about it and why. You may also include things like did zentangle accomplish its purpose – did it make you feel relaxed and peaceful?Just Draw!
As with all things in life...ART requires
practice. If you want to draw "better" you must first draw.
Anything will do!! You all have a sketchbook, you should take it
around with you, or at least take a picture of something to sketch later.
Inspiration is all around you, you just need to find it. Not sure
what to draw? Just doodle, then turn that into something! Be
inspired by things around you, find beauty in the "boring".
Week of 10/1-5/18
Reflection due 10/2/18:
Rubric for grading your "Prop" projects entitled: Prop Rubric
Must have at least 10 different assessments for what you want graded and it must equal a total of 100 points. You need to make sure that your expectations of the assignment are clearly defined and understood.
Below are our finished Props! Y'all did a great job!
The ELEMENTS of ART project:
The Elements of Art project is off to a great start. Here are some revised requirements:
The Elements of Art
Project Requirements: You must illustrate the seven elements of art in a creative form of artwork that gives the definition and example of each. It should have a cohesive theme.
Reflection 1 Entitled - The Elements of Art
You must give complete definitions of the seven elements of art:
You need to look up at least 3 different sources and come up with the best/your own definition.
This can be in a numbered list form not in paragraph form but must be written on notebook paper as demonstrated at the beginning of the year (example posted in art room.)
We will read them as a class to decide by a vote which 1 or combination of 2 or more is the best for all to use. UPDATE: Definitions posted below!
Reflection 2 Entitled - My Elements of Art Ideas.
You must write and/or sketch idea(s) for project (basically “map” out your design in your own words and sketch examples along with it.)
You should explain how you will execute your project. It must be least 1 paragraph with at least 7 sentences. It should include individual elements (what materials you will use) as well as how to display them in an artistic manner.
For example:
Texture – I will use a colored or B&W drawing of ___ that gives the illusion of texture… Or something like…I will use paint and……salt, glue, paper, paper towel, gauze, leaf, sand…the list is endless… to create a ___ texture.
You need to include what type of paper/size/color (must be at least 12x18.) If you choose to purchase poster board for your project, you will get 10 bonus points. You may utilize the supplies in the class room as long as you get permission because of the fact that I teach 12 different classes and some things may be designated for specific classes/projects. You will be graded on proper use, care, and clean-up of your materials.
Sketch book drawing - You must sketch your design in your sketch book (on 1 or 2 pages) for a grade.
Reflection 3 Entitled - My Elements of Art Notes. This is just to basically take notes as you gather ideas and as your project evolves or if it changes from your original idea in your second reflection. You should explain as you go why you chose your idea and/or why you might have changed it. You should also include your inspiration.
This project will take approximately 1-2 weeks. I will give you a more definite deadline as it progresses.
Homework: Explore different ideas for your project.
Here are the DEFINITIONS everyone must use:
THE 7 ELEMENTS OF ART
• Line
Line is a path created by a moving point. It is one dimensional and can vary in width, length, and direction (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.)
• Color
Color is the hue that is produced when light reflects off of an object. There are three terms used to describe color: hue (the name of the color), value (shades and tints), and intensity (brightness.)
• Value
Value describes the degrees of lightness and darkness.
• Shape
Shapes are flat enclosed areas that are two-dimensional and can be geometric – such as squares, triangles, or perfect circles – or organic, which is more natural and loose.
• Form
Forms are three-dimensional shapes having length, width, and height. They have volume and take up space and can be viewed from many sides.
• Space
Space refers to the area between and around objects. It is used to create the illusion of depth. Space can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, negative (empty) and/or positive (filled.)
• Texture
Texture is the way a surface feels (real) or how it looks like it would feel (implied.)
Below is the Rubric I will use to grade your final art work:

Buildings in One-Point Perspective
Before you begin your project, I will show a video to demonstrate what it entails. It would be a good idea to search and view other videos on 1 pt. perspective of tall buildings or skyscrapers to give you ideas for your own drawing.
I. Write Reflection 1 entitled:
Reflection 1-Buildings in One-Point Perspective Project
Note: https://www.thoughtco.com is a great resource to use for this reflection but there are so many more out there so view a variety of different sites! (This will give the class different viewpoints or definitions of what we are talking about.)
1. Define: Vanishing point as it applies to art/perspective
2. List/define Cool & Warm colors
3. Explain the difference in drawing/graphite pencils (needs to include the letter and numbering system of how they are “graded.”)
4. List and explain 3 different art mediums other than pencil
II. Sketch in your sketch book draw squares and label/demonstrate each of the F, H, and B pencils available in the classroom. Also draw 2 different “value scales” to show at least 6 squares (or other means) with light to dark value. (I will explain)
III. Write Reflection 2 entitled:
My Buildings in One-Point Perspective
Tell me what colors and mediums you will use in your project.
IV. Sketch in your sketch book at least 10 buildings (skyscrapers) with a variety of windows
V. 1. On a 12x18 white paper use a 4B pencil (I will provide) and ruler to draw at least 10 buildings in a variety of height and width. Before you begin image yourself in the middle of a big city, in a crossroads, looking up at the sky. The vanishing point is in the middle of the sky.
2. Outline with a black marker if using colored pencils or pastel chalk; or
Outline in oil pastel if painting with watercolors
3. Erase pencil marks
4. Paint or color the sky with pastels or watercolors in either warm or cool colors
(be careful not to let your colors bleed onto the builds.)
5. Draw a variety of windows to give each building a unique look

11-30-18 Christmas Tree Art Lessons for December
ART PROJECT 1: A GEOMETRIC CHRISTMAS TREE
First, draw a Christmas tree in
your sketchbook with geometric designs (from the examples shown in class and on this page.) It must include circles and
triangles. It may also include squares
and rectangles. Then color your tree
with colored pencils, crayons, or markers with the color pallet as shown in the
example. Keep in mind you will be
painting the final project using the tempera paints on the shelf in the
classroom. After you finish
drawing/coloring your tree in your sketchbook color the background on the right
side of your tree black and the left
side “your choice” of blue and or a snow image.
(Due December 5)
We will then vote on the best
background and trees to paint on large paper to display on the stage. The winning artists will have teams to help
them paint the final trees on large paper.
(Due December 12)
ART PROJECT 2: A THEMED CHRISTMAS TREE (Due December 14)
Reflection 1 entitled: My Christmas Tree Theme Idea (Due 11-30-18)
Before you begin your reflection
you must come up with a theme. You
should research your idea to come up with some creative ways to incorporate
your theme into a Christmas tree. Once
you’ve gathered all your thoughts then put them on paper. Your Reflection must include the
following:
What is your theme & why did
you choose it?
How will you turn your “theme”
into a Christmas tree shape? What will
you use as your topper?
What colors will you use? Anything else you want to include that you
will incorporate into your idea/theme.
So let’s say you were going to do
a “Musical Theme.” You would not just
draw a Christmas tree and use musical instruments as your ornaments.
This is an example of a Christmas
tree with a MUSICAL THEME. (You must
create the shape of the tree using something that has to do with your theme.
