     Monday we finished Helping Hands

     Tuesday--Negative Space (see rubric below)

Purpose: A company that sells office and art supplies is looking for the perfect design to highlight generic products among colorful designs for their product brochures and advertising campaign. Students fill space with various line types, line qualities, shapes, and colors so the objects stand out because of their lack of color or details. 

Essential Learning: The student understands and applies arts knowledge and skills by developing the skill of using a variety of line types, line qualities, and color. The students applies a responding process to an arts presentation by engaging actively and purposefully, describing what is seen and/or heard, analyzing how the elements are arranged and organized, interpreting based on descriptive properties, and evaluating using supportive evidence and criteria. The student demonstrates the knowledge of art careers and the knowledge of art skills in the world of work.

Tuesday--Helping Hands Drawing and Shading

Purpose:  For the school bulletin board, we want to build a helping hands bulletin board to celebrate Red Ribbon Week and Saber Pride.  You will learn how to use two of the elements, line and form.  To create form, you will apply value through shading from dark to light and light to dark. 

Essential Learning:  The student understands and applies arts knowledge and skills by developing the skill of drawing and shading.  The students applies a responding process to an arts presentation by engaging actively and purposefully, describing what is seen and/or heard, analyzing how the elements are arranged and organized, interpreting based on descriptive properties, and evaluating using supportive evidence and criteria.  The student communicates through the arts by using the arts to express and present the idea of “helping hands” and to communicate for a specific purpose. 

We viewed the following Powerpoint

Monday--We learned the definitions of line, shape, and form.  We shaded shapes to look 3 dimensional.  Use this link for how to shade for form:
