Project #3 Abstract Variations: Figure Ground Reversal & Activating Negative Space

Abstract Variations: Figure and Ground Reversal Positive + Negative Shape Activating Negative Space Objectives + Goals: In this assignment, you will be creating a relationship between the figure (the object) and the ground (the air), and how they may morph into one and other in 4 steps. Note, the first image above in black and white example shows 12. Steps: Choose a letter or number of your choice. Enlarge it to fit into a 5" square.                              In your sketchbook create 8 - 10 small thumbnails 2" square (with a ruler, please). Within each square, you will sketch up some ideas to get your creative minds designing. In each square allow yourself to develop the design into a dynamic figure-ground reversal.  Try adding thin and thick lines, designed with smaller and larger negative shapes.  Allow your design to crop on a number of edges of the square.  ...

Project #2 Dynamic Value Ranges in wet media

Value Scales in 11 steps Materials: Titanium White and Mars Black, brushes, rulers on Bristol paper Create a value scale in 11 steps Overall the scale will be 2" x 11"  It should look smooth overall - the steps evenly distributed. The #6 block = your middle grey, therefore, separates half of the value scale towards the TINTS. On the other side of #6 will separate your value scale into TONES.        Student Work - value scales Simple Color Wheels in six steps R Y B = Primaries G V O = Secondaries Compliment Pairing  = 2 colors and ALWAYS is one primary + one secondary. Complimentary colors ALWAYS sit across from each other. R = G B = O V = Y In the scale below note how each of the scales range in their complementary pairs in seven steps. Each mixing towards the darker color adds overall darkness to the value.  Take special note that on the 4th step, the "middle grey" seems to appear equal in saturation and val...

Project #6 Waste Land

This project is inspired by the award-winning documentary WASTELAND about the contemporary artist Vic Muniz and his amazing project created in Brazil in 2009.   As a response to the documentary and your ideas social and environmental change, you will be creating a designed image or object that is inspired by the transformation of materials.   Vic Muniz used the medium of sugar on a dark substrate to create recognizable portraits of the children whose parents worked in the sugar cane fields.   He also transformed recyclable waste from the Rio de Janerio landfill to create enormous portraits of the people who were the "pickers" of the landfill at  Jardim Gramacho,  whom he met and collaborated with.  Look at this TED talk  Vic Muniz makes art with wire, sugar, chocolate and string Look at his website and see is work based on sugar and chocolate drawings at  vikmuniz.net/en/ Here are examples of his chocolate drawings...
