Paper - 2D Design

 


This project was done to mimic a polaroid picture, but created using different paper elements to create a 2D Design. I chose to create a desert habitat. I added in a cactus, the sun, some rocks, and a snake. I took different pieces of construction paper and layered them to give them some different depth and shape. I then glued down all of those pieces onto the premade picture template. I then wrote down a fact about the habitat that I mimicked. 

Extension Activity: Students could do this in a geography/history class to talk about different historical monument's that have helped shaped the world. Students could then do a gallery walk and look at all of the different things that their peers created and learn about their significance.

Footprint Introduction

Image
 Description: The footprint introduction project requires 3 different mediums to be used to create a footprint that depicts you and your life. You are allowed to add anything that will resemble you and tell people more about you.  To describe me I added book pages because I love to read, a picture of my sister and me because she is my role model, a small travel picture because I recently fell in love with traveling, a bee because bees remind me of my family and I love them, flowers because they make me smile and remind me of my mom, and plants because I love them!  Extension Activity: An extension activity that I would create would be to have students write biographies about each other. I would have students trade with each other and they would have to talk to each other to create an essay that talks about the other person's life.

Elements and Principles of Art (Photography)

Image
  Contrast: The differences in values, colors, textures, shapes, and more elements. Contrast is widely used to create visual excitement and add interest to different things.    This picture represents contrast because the bright red car stands out compared to the other car behind it, and all of the darker cooler tones in the background of the image.  Space: Three dimensional, volume can be empty or filled, has width, height, and length, and has a feeling of depth This image shows space because you are able to see the depth going up the ramp with the width, height, and length of it.  Movement: Used to direct viewers through their work. Can be directed along lines, edges, shapes, and colors. This image shows movement with the position of the child's feet (both) and the the blurriness of the child running.  Emphasis: Used to create dominance and focus in the art they are working on. Can be done with any element (such as color, size, shape, etc.). Various contr...

Clay

Image
  The project was creating a pinch pot that looks like an apple. First, we wedged and threw the clay to get out all of the air bubbles so the clay would set nice. After that, we rolled them into balls and took out a small chunk to save for later. We then started by creating a bowl shape and pinching the edges together to create the apple shape as well as used a small wooden tool to create the shape of the seeds.. Then we made a stem and leaf to go on the apple. After that we used some water to bond the stem and leaf to the apple. We had to score the pieces and the apple for this to work. After all of that we were able to start painting. I did a few coats of the red and white to get it even. Then I painted the leaf green and mixed colors to create the brown color for the stem and seeds. The clay then sat and dried. Extension Activity: There are so many options for this sort of project. One that comes to mind is for a math class. Students could create different things and then analyz...
