National Core Arts Standards Visual Arts include the traditional fine arts such as drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, and sculpture; media arts including film, graphic communications, animation, and emerging technologies; architectural, environmental, and industrial arts such as urban, interior, product, and landscape design; folk arts; and works of art such as ceramics, fibers, jewelry, works in wood, paper, and other materials.

National Core Arts Standards Matrix

Students who are thinking of perusing a career in the visual arts will need to attend an art school or university that has an art program. There many colleges and art schools to choose from. Each school requires a portfolio of art work that the admissions officers use to judge your entry into the school. Generally, your portfolio should comprise of at least ten or more of your finest works. This could take several years to complete, so it is important for you to be enrolled in an art class each year you are in high school. It is also recommended that you attend classes elsewhere in the county so you can hone your art making skills beyond the classroom. Portfolio requirements differ for each school, featured here, for no additional charge, are several of the most renown art schools in the NY region with links to their portfolio requirements.

Besides an inspiring name for a mutant turtle in a secret underground ninja order, Leonardo was an extremely talented boy from the town of Vinci during the mid 1400’s. People who knew him recognized his creative talents, studying and drawing subjects from a wide range of topics and studies, from architecture to zoology. After becoming an apprentice to the Masters of his time, Leonardo would become the Master of Masters. Along side legendary works like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, Leonardo’s sketchbook pages, numbering in the thousands, stands as a collective master piece of not only drawing, and illustration but of human investigation his spirit for curiosity.

Question to Consider

What do you suppose (I think) the contraption was designed to do? What evidence (because) can you use to support your idea?

.

Looking at exceptional master works can be a daunting for a student as well as is inspiring, it may drum up feelings that the skills are too hard to learn. All artists feel this way, start off small and practice the your skills for even just a few moments each day.  Illustrator Mark Crilley gave a drawing challenge his friends, “The rules are simple – each has to pick a character and sketch it three times by hand in 10 minutes, 1 minute, and 10 seconds.” In the featured article Greta, J. shares an array artists and images that reveal the artistic process and gradual progression of shape and form in a subject.

Explore the sketches, analyze the the use of shape and repetition what gives the characters such refinement? How does repetition help an artist develop ideas? How does the artist show variety, unity, and/or movement in the work?

Terms and Concepts

Composition, an arrangement of line, shape, form, space, value, pattern and color or value.
Crosshatching lines, a series of crossing lines to create values, esp. pen & ink
Depth, the illusion of real space on a flat surface.
Line, varied weight, a line that changes thickness.
Shape, two dimensional enclosed areas, circle, square, etc.
Sketchbook, a book to practice drawing, formulate ideas and keep visual resources
Space & Structure, organization or composition of shapes, lines and forms in a picture.
Thumbnails, many small drawings that are studies for larger works of art.
Value, an element of design that relates to the lightness and darkness of a color or tone.

Questions to consider

How old was Robert when he came to the United States?

Recall what city did he come from?

Relate the feeling he describes of the cold air hitting him for the first time.

What conflicts arise for Robert as he first arrives in New York Cite evidence?

Why do think he felt conflicted meeting his mother the first time?

Materials

Students will need a sketchbook that they can use to sketch and draw in daily. A spiral sketchbook with white unlined pages works best, glued binders tend to fall apart after a while. A variety of sketchbooks are available at art supply stores and online or you can construct on in class. Below are a typical brands of sketchbooks you will find online or at a store near you.

Sketchbook Guide and Rubrics

• Cover each page with a variety of thumbnails, sketches, drawings and notes.
• Use thumbnail frames at first and mix frameless sketches into the page.
• Leave a little space, called gutters, between frames and the edges of the page.
• Sketch lightly at first, and darken lines later with a variety of dark and light lines.
• Create a variety of five to seven different values of gray, and work in some contrast.
• Add pattern, textures, and details, and other observations of the subject.

A digital portfolio can be created using Google Slides, which we will call Google Slides Portfolio for the sake of the course. The Slides portfolio will come to represent all the work you created throughout the year. Your portfolio will include projects you created throughout the course. All projects are graded from the students’ Google Portfolio; it is how work is handed in throughout the course of the year. All students are required to be able to optimize images from Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and other applications (converting an Adobe image to a .jpg, .png, or an .ai, etc.) using the File menu item, Save for Web. This is referred to as File>Save for Web. Here are a few different samples of Google Portfolios for Foundations In Media, Computer Graphics, and Animation.

Stuart Davis was born in Philadelphia in 1892. At the age of 16 his family moved to New Jersey and Stuart studied art in NYC. He became inspired by the excitement of the city; the tall skyscrapers, bright colors, and electric signs, began to motivate him to paint pictures using bright colors. When he was older Stuart Davis visited Paris, France. There he became inspired by an art movement called Cubism, a style of painting that shows objects as basic geometric shapes like cubes and circles.

By shading with different values of gray artists can create the illusion of space and form in their drawings. Properly positioning the highlight, mid-tone, and shadow areas artists can make a basic shape can look like is has real three-dimensional form. Study the featured images below, analyze and identify where the artists placed the different shades of gray to create a feeling of form in the image. In this assignment you will practice applying different pressures on the pencil to get a variety of values gray to create the illusion of form. Review the target objectives listed below and the assigned topic in Google Classroom and create a series of sketches of common household items around your home. Take a picture of your completed illustration and insert the image onto a new slide in your Google Slides portfolio, title, and label the slide.

William Henry Johnson was an African American expressionist painter.  He was born on March 18, 1901 in Florence, South Carolina to mother Alice Smoot Johnson (known as “Mom Alice” or “Aunt Alice”) and father Henry Johnson.  William H. Johnson was the oldest of five children: Lacy, Lucy, James, and Lillian.  Johnson spent his childhood helping out his family, finding a joy for painting, and attending rural grade schools in Florence.¹

Questions to Consider

In this project you are to create a series of portrait drawings of a person sitting in a chair drawing a person from your family in a kitchen chair or similar chairs as found in William H. Johnson’s work. Bellow are a series of portrait drawing by students, a series of common kitchen chairs, and s series of fashion flats that depict various articles of clothing. In this project you will study the proportion of the face, the perspective of a common wooden chair, and the structure of a shirt and body. You will be shown how to represent a chair in three dimensions using the principles of perspective outlined in this lesson.

I can assess, refine, and evaluate my drawings by comparing them to the components listed in the project rubric and adding attributes that are missing or need more refining.

Romare Bearden was born in Charlotte, NC in 1912 and moved to Harlem, NY when he was 3 years old. His family moved up to the North East from South Carolina in what is known as, The American Migration Experience of African Americans or The Great Migration. He studied art at the Art Students League in NYC and his art career started as a political cartoonist for the Baltimore Afro-American. Mr. Bearden painted abstract pictures for a time but found more success when he began to combine his paintings with different collage techniques using a variety of materials. He gained recognition after a major art exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1967 organized a major exhibit of 55 African American Artists.

Collage

Collage generally refers to a 2 dimensional assemblage or combination of different items together to create a new overall composition. The term collage originally comes from the French word coller, which means to glue. In computer graphics or computer generated imagery, images are combined together without the traditional cut and paste as in the featured. In this project students are to combine a variety of images around a central theme and practice the various collage techniques for selecting items to form a new image. When gathering pictures for a theme it is important to think of many ideas that can be related to your main theme. .

Gather images from magazines and newspapers to construct a collage of a portrait, a series of figures in a setting, a landscape scene, or a still life scenario using a variety of images that you will use to compose a collage. Choose to create a portrait, a scene of figures, or a scene/place. Each option should include a background setting, middle ground medium sized areas, and small details. Use the rubrics below to assess and evaluate your work against the project’s criteria. 1. Print your name and period number on the envelop provided, tape or secure the envelop into your sketchbook as a pocket to save the images into. 2. Gather 5 images related to your theme from the materials provided. Create a thumbnail sketch for each one in your sketchbook. Darken the lines and shade the thumbnails, add details and frames. 3. Gather additional images that will let you construct your subject using various parts from different images using the techniques we see in Romare Bearden’s work. Include images for background areas that will be the setting for your subject. 4. Select through the images gathered to layout the background areas of the collage combining the images with other textured papers provided. Skillfully paste the background areas onto the 9 x 12 inch paper provided. 5. Design the different subjects in the scene by skillfully cutting the subjects from your images and neatly pasting down to the page combining many different parts together.

Born in 1917 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Lawrence moved with his family to Harlem in 1930, where he came into contact with some of the greatest artistic and intellectual minds of his generation. In the previous decade, Harlem had experienced the remarkably creative period known as the Harlem Renaissance, and the neighborhood was still the focal point of African-American culture. Before he was twenty years old, Lawrence had developed a powerful, concise style that expressed all of the vibrancy and pathos of the neighborhood and its occupants.¹
