Visual Art 1 Beginning, Week 8Shading Techniques

Monday

1.ValueScale with Hair Color (Montieth) QUIZ: Divide the class into two groups. Line up in order by the “value” of hair color. One end is the lightest hair color and the other is the darkest. Do this without talking.

2.On the Art 1 Beginning website, click on “No Outlinespowerpoint.” Notice there are no heavy outlines like in a coloring book. Real objects do not have heavy outlines. You should now draw all forms with NO OUTLINE. Always draw EDGES lightly so they are invisible!

3.Art pencils, kneaded eraser: distribution, care, and storage. How and when do we use these?

4.Create a value scale with the art pencils, labeling each type.

5.Go to Zoe’s Art 1 Beginning webpage and click on “Sphere Shading Examples.” Use them to draw a shaded sphere with labels for vocabulary.

In your sketchbook, write the definitions for the following terms and draw the example given.

A.Value= The lights and darks of an image or object

B.Value Scale= A sequence of values from white to black, with all grey values in between.

1.Draw a value scale of 10 values with just your 2B pencil, using a cross-hatching technique.

2.Draw a value scale of all art pencils with white and one square for each pencil, using a cross-hatching technique.

C.Core Shadow= The shadow of an object on itself.

1.Draw a sphere with accurate values, showing a core shadow, using a cross-hatching technique.

2.Draw a cube with accurate values, showing a coreshadow, using a cross-hatching technique.

D.Cast Shadow= The shadow of one object on another.

1.Draw the table line and castshadow on the sphere, using a cross-hatching technique.

2.Draw the table line and castshadow on the cube, using a cross-hatching technique.

E.Highlight= The gleam on an object, created by light hitting a reflective surface.

1.Erase out a highlight on the sphere using a kneaded eraser.

2.Erase out a highlight on the cube using a kneaded eraser.

Tuesday

1.Michael Jackson worksheet: Find it on the Art 1 Beginning webpage. Follow the directions and copy it in your sketchbook. This uses all four shading techniques! Remember to use no outlines, only edges!

2.Discuss: What has these forms: cylinder, cube, cone, and sphere? Turn your shaded geometric forms

into other objects. Use the 3D drawing methods of Mark Kistler’s “Drawing in 3D” book: Choose one of

the worksheets to create your own scene using his shading techniques.

Wednesday: Early Release, no block 4

  1. Mannequin chair design: the mannequins are tired of standing all day and the bears and Jack are not happy sitting on the shelves. You are tasked with making a seat for them. There are eight teams: divide yourselves equally and choose your mannequin, bear, or Jack. Your seat must fit the object you chose. Use any materials necessary. You may not use your phone or laptop, but you may use any print media in the room.
  2. You have until twenty minutes before the bell to make them.
  3. Adhere to the requirements of the seats. Each is worth one point except for b is worth two points.
  4. One mannequin, bear, or Jack fit on the seat comfortably without falling off.
  5. The seat is sturdy and does not fall apart.
  6. The seat does not block our view of most of the body. (51% of the body must be visible.)
  7. The seat is not messy or sloppy.
  8. The seat is not dangerous to touch.
  9. The seat is not like any other group’s seat: it is unique.
  10. The seat has green on it: their favorite color.
  11. The seat has the name of all student artists on it.
  12. Mannequin seats may not have no wood on them since they are wooden themselves and that would be too weird for them. Seats for the bears and Jack may not have fabric on them since that is their skin and that would be too weird for them.
  13. The seat is personalized with the name of the mannequin, bear, or Jack.

Please wash your hands after handling oil pastels so you don’t get the objects dirty.
