Essential Questions: What is a sketch? How do you observe the world? Why do artists catalog the world with sketches? How many different ways are there to sketch? Is a sketch art?
Understanding: Artwork is like a science project. One does not just jump into an experiment without the proper process and theories. Art is just the same. Artists go through many planning stages in order to get to the final product. Artists also experiment many times before trying the final formulas that may make a work of art. Sketching is our process of trial and error, our process of gathering information and data before we come to a conclusion. It should be thoughts expressed in order to get to the goal of a final work, eventually.
Students will know:
· The need to investigate our world
· The use of different types of observational skills
· Trial of many different media
· The use of the sketch book as a cataloging tool for artistic experimentation
Students will be able to:
· Determine the difference between a sketch and a finished work
· Understand several types of sketching practices
· Work with color and black and white media
· Discover observational techniques
· Define terminology such as composition, tone, layers, value, mark, stroke, negative and positive space
Assessments:
1. 20 days of sketchbook drawings
2. application of techniques learned in class done outside of the class
3. Daily effort and work
4. Peer critique
5. Instructor questioning
Activity 1: Look at lectures on Space from Mr. LeClair and take notes on artistic experimentation. Paying particular attention to Moshe Safdie and the works of Christo and Jean-Claude for their sketches and plans
Activity 2: Sketch using objects that are familiar in 20 different ways . Objects include Hands, Shoes, and Flowers. (see schedule below)
Activity 3: Experiment with many different media from crayons to charcoal, pencil to pen. Using different techniques such as blind contour drawing, subtractive drawing, and cross-contour drawing.
Activity 4: Work at home making at least 2 more sketches per week experimenting with the techniques learned in class
