Computer Assisted Art Doodles

Crafts- Crystals and Gems

Directions:
Use the pencil drawing that you created yesterday as a base.  You should have drawn light- if you did not, try to erase a bit, so you do not have any harsh pencil lines.  

Next- grab the desired watercolor pastels.  Begin by lightly coloring your crystals.  Add layers of colors on top of one another.  Don't be afraid to mix colors.  It is ok to be a little loose and scribbly at this stage.  Stear clear of using black!

Now it is time to add water.  Gather your supplies- Paintbrush, paper towel, water cup.  Dip your paintbrush into the water.  Use painterly strokes and go over the watercolor pastels.  You will see that they magically turn into paint and begin to blend.  Keep this up until you have turned all the pastel into paint.

Lastly, go over your dry painting with a dark marker or pen.  Outline your details.  Sign the bottom right corner.  Turn in to Mrs. Hurd.

Paper Mache Birds- Intro to Art

http://www.thatartistwoman.org/2018/01/valentine-lovebirds.html

  1.  Research your bird, and sketch out ideas.  Make sure you have a reference photo to look at.  Gather your supplies. 

You will need...

• Cardboard
• Computer Paper
• Pencil
• Scissors/Exacto Knife
• Tape
• Stapler
• Reference Photo

   2. Use the computer paper.  Lay it over your sketch.  Trace the outline of the bird shape.  This will act as a template for when you cut out the cardboard.

 3.  Cut out the paper template.

  4.  Trace the paper template onto the cardboard.  You will need 2 pieces.  You can cut them out separately, or if the cardboard is thin enough you can layer one on top of the other and cut out both at the same time.

 5.  Cut out the 2 pieces of cardboard.  If it is thin cardboard you may use scissors if it is thicker cardboard you will need to use an Exacto knife.

Make sure you have something underneath the cardboard before you start to cut.  Hold the knife at a 45-degree angle.

  6.  You should have two pieces of card board now.

  7.  Begin to stuff the bird shape with wadded up computer paper.  Tape the wadded paper into place.  

  8.  You should have something that resembles a sandwich.  Cardboard, paper, cardboard.

  9. Staple the edges- SPARINGLY- tape the rest to enclose the edges.

10.  Now you are ready to paper mache.

Computer Assisted Art- Words

Directions:  DO NOT BE NEGATIVE-TRY BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN
This is a creative exercise.

Today we are taking a break from the computers, and we are going to create art using mirror writing.
First, grab a sheet of sketchbook paper.  Follow along with the video, to practice and get a "feel" for writing backward. 



Now, grab a sheet of drawing paper.  Write down a short poem, slogan, saying, song lyric or etc...using backward writing (Mirror Writing) with big bold overlapping letters.  Add an interesting frame around your words.  Color in the spaces created with analogous colors (Neighboring Colors on the color wheel).  What do you see?  What did you create?

Drawing Class Prompt

Directions:
1. Find an image with a great silhouette.  Think about the positive and negative space of that object.
2. Copy and Paste the image into Microsoft word.  3. Find an interesting font on dafont.com.  Use the PrtScn button on your keyboard and copy and paste the font into Microsoft word.  Make sure both fit on one page.  Print it out.  We will start drawing when everyone has completed the computer task.

 Project inspiration here- What we will do with our bird information.  PAPER MACHE SCULPTURES.

Typography Basics

Inspiration Images:








Directions:

Use the type tool in PS to create an interesting poster design.  Your poster needs to have a wide range of texts/fonts, as well as text going in all sorts of directions.  You will also need some kind of graphic/graphics in your poster.

You will need to find...
a graphic/picture
a font or fonts that you like in PS
a quote
You will use the type tool and the pen tool for this project.

Think about balance, and creating a good composition.  Remember that odd numbers are more pleasing to the eye.
