Monday we took some time to review for the test. We spent the first fifteen minutes discussing what to expect and did a brief recap of the definitions. We did a short in class project where we drew definitions from a hat. We demonstrated each concept by drawing it. For instance, if you drew the word "value" from the hat, you would have to draw the word value and demonstrate how light effects the relative lightness and darkness of an area. This was worth 10 daily work points.
Tuesday we took the Midterm.
Wednesday we started a new project focusing on craftsmanship and value. On a large sheet of paper student drew a value scale. The value scale is intended to guide the rest of the project and needed to be drawn with great accuracy.
Here is the outline for the project:
Draw a value scale numbered 1-8.
- It must be 1"x8"
- It must be .5" from the bottom ride corner (the right side and the bottom).
- It must be numbered one through
- Each number must represent a different tone on the value scale, starting with white (#1) and ending with black (#8).
The second part of the project requires you to draw 15-20 circles and ellipses. Each shape should overlap at leas two other shapes. Each shape should be shaded to represent one of the value scale swatches at the bottom of your page. Look back and forth to make sure they match one another closely. When you are finished each #1 on the scale should be represented a minimum of three times.
Circles and Ellipses (Value) Project Rubric:
1. Student demonstrates and understanding of the value scale. 15 pts.
2. Effort - Good use of class time. 15 pts
3. Craftsmanship - Neat, Clean, Complete. 30 pts
As you can see the focus on this project is accuracy and craftsmanship. Take your time but pace yourself. Each shape must match precisely its coordinating number on the scale.
