//www.apexhomeschool.org/apps/classes/992222/assignments/ Class Name: Leggett - HS 2D Art-Wednesday Instructor(s): Jacqui Leggett en-us SchoolSitePro //www.apexhomeschool.org/homeworkItem7670630 //www.apexhomeschool.org/apps/classes/992222/assignments/ 6x6 colored or black paper (for creating notans)
9x9 colored paper (for background) - or use your sketchbook as your background if you don't want to use up paper
Scissors
Glue stick or glue
only cut into the sides of the 6x6 paper and NOT the corners. 
When a shape is cut out, you FLIP it out to mirror the negative space. You can then cut out a shape from THAT cut piece, and flip the new cut out the other direction. 

Your designs should be more elaborate and detailed than the ones in the video and the handout (these were created for younger students in mind).  

Once you are done with practice (create one or two) and seem to understand, you can begin designing 2 different notans with pencil in your sketchbooks. These notans will be combined on one larger piece of paper - the designs can contrast or be the same theme. 

How to begin planning your final designs (refer to notans.jpg): 

Draw 2 6x6 squares in the center of a sketchbook page
Split both squares with 2 light, dotted lines down the center vertically and horizontally creating 4 quadrants in each square.
Draw designs lightly with pencil inside the squares
remember your notan designs must start and stop on the same side! *see handout and video for visual
If you are stumped for ideas:
sea life
films
happiness
mechanical/man-made
identity
tropical
stormy
To create your final notans (your practice was just that: practice): 
Using your design plans, transfer these plans onto 2 pieces of 6x6 paper. They could be the same or different (color, black and white, patterned paper, get creative!)

Take a look at the two examples I shared: how can you arrange your two notans on one background paper? Do you want them to overlap or not? 


The background paper should contrast with their notan paper. We’ve talked a lot about color theory (warm, cool, analogous, complementary, etc). 

6. If you have time to begin gluing your final designs on background paper.

Don't forget to snap a photo of your final piece and "turn in". I can't wait to see your notans!

The attached slideshow (personalized for you) is to keep you on track and accountable for each part of the portrait and at the end, you will have a completed portrait of your hero and artist reflection on your process. 


Please read through the slideshow thoroughly and check the due dates carefully. The first week's assignment (due by the end of the day today) is to complete slide 1. 


If you have ANY questions, please reach out to me through phone or email.

*You will have TWO weeks to complete this project*

Instructions:
1. Choose an ordinary object to draw (real or an image from the Internet).
2. Lightly draw a 9-block grid on your paper with pencil and ruler.
3. Create a series of drawings of the same object - different views - in each block of your grid.
4. Be thoughtful about which view of the object to place in each grid space to VARY the shapes.
5. You may create value using pencil OR colored pencils. If using colored pencils, think back to our lessons on color theory and how you can use it in your artwork.

Your completed drawing should have:
- interesting change in the drawings from each grid space (variation).
- a range of values from dark to light (whether you use pencil OR colored pencils)
- the correct sizes, shapes, and location of the values
- visual textures made with marks and patterns
- smooth shading, sharp and soft edges
