Look at the logo to the left.

Notice how the artist merged text and image.


​How did the artist use the spartan and golf imagery to work together?

2. Lower the opacity of each layer

3. Trace the photographs carefully, making as many closed shapes as possible. Then, hide the photos so only the lines remain.
Picture
4. Using the paint bucket to fill closed shapes. Still far from complete. Now we need to work on QUALITY of painting using the brush.
Assignment:
Using the brush and paint tools in Photoshop, create an artwork that visually expresses the idea of Growth. It will start as a photo collage of at least three photos, which you will then trace.

Objectives:
Develop your skills with the following tools:
  • Brush tool
  • Eraser
  • Paint bucket
  • Layers

Requirements:
  • 8.5” x 11” - “Letter” sized document, either horizontal ("landscape" orientation) or vertical ("portrait" orientation)
  • Filename: growth yourlastname.psd
  • Save to: Google Drive
  • Must combine at least three photographs
  • Must fill the page
  • Must use at least ten different colors
  • Must use each of the tools listed above

Steps:
  1. FIRST, if you haven't already done so, create a Google Drive folder entitled “Web Design yourlastname”. This is where you'll save all your in-progress work every day.
  2. Go to Photoshop 
  3. Go to New File
  4. Set the proper dimensions (8.5” x 11”), resolution (300 dpi), and click "Create".
  5. Save immediately as filename “growth yourlastname.psd”.
  6. Collect at least three digital photos to make a photo collage about "growth".
  7. File-Open each of the photographs in Photoshop, then Select All, copy and paste each into the "Growth" PSD.
  8. Resize, move, and transform the photos in the "growth" file.
  9. When you like the placement, lock each of the photograph layers in the Layers palette.
  10. Use the brush tool to trace parts of the photographs. Use different paintbrush thicknesses and colors. Make as many closed shapes as possible, so that you can fill in the shapes with the paint bucket tool. 
  11. Save regularly (every few minutes) as a PSD. Save over your older version when asked.
  12. At the end of every session, place the file in your Google Drive “Web Design yourlastname” folder
  13. At the end of every session, turn in a JPG or screenshot of your progress via Google Classroom as an "Exit Ticket"

The Elements and Principles of Design

9/2/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
Background:
The Elements of Art & Principles of Design are the building blocks of every piece of artwork. 
  • The Elements are what make up artworks. (ie: Van Gogh's Starry Night uses COLOR to bring the viewer throughout the piece).

  • The Principles describe how the elements are used. (ie: Van Gogh's Starry Night shows MOVEMENT in the sky, directing the viewer throughout that sky and into the rest of the piece).

These sets of definitions describe artwork; artists use these to make their artwork more visually appealing. We also use these words to describe artwork when speaking and writing about art. We will be using the elements and principles throughout the entire school year, and this lesson is just an introduction to them. 

Project Description:
Your assignment is to create an artwork using a quote or word and using multiple elements of art. Students should be able to describe the ways that he/she used each element.

Steps:
  1. Choose a short quote (no more than 6 words)
  2. In Google Drive, make a new document in landscape format, choose a fun font for your quote. Turn it in to google classroom and it will be printed for you
  3. Divide your paper into sections using 4 straight lines (we will do this together in class).
  4. Trace your quote on the paper, making sure that there are words (or pieces of words) in each section.
  5. At the TOP and BOTTOM of your paper, mark a dot at 6 inches from the left. Draw a line connecting those dots to each corner, to give yourself 7 distinct sections.
  6. Color inside of each section showing ​4 elements of art: line, shape, color, texture and 3 principles of design: contrast, pattern, movement.
  7. When done, take a photograph of your artwork and submit to Google Classroom and upload onto your Artwork blog page (be sure to write a paragraph about what you did/what the project was about. When photographing artwork, your camera must be parallel to the artwork (ie don't take the image at an angle).

Grading
You will be graded on:
  • TECHNICAL QUALITY: The drawing is high quality and each element/principle is labeled on the back in pencil
  • DESIGN: Your sections accurately describe each element/principle
  • UNITY: How unified your piece is as a whole

This lesson was taken from this great site.
