7 Visual Art
Weekly outline
-
These paintings are created by Dianna Adams. We'll have a practise using acrylic paint to see how we can show form through tonal change.
Next I would like to use another artist model Shane Cotton. His use of landscape in these examples is included in a different example of an idea where the mountains are part of a collection of symbols, text and landscape. The idea of this style is that it helps to convey extra messages. During our Global Studies course we are looking at the context of 'What it means to be a good Whanau member and friend'. So his art links in nicely to how we can create an artwork and include mountains, text and symbols to represent who we are and our context of learning.

-
The process to follow for developing you graphiti artwork.
Step 1- choose school value and language.
Step 2- use www.dafont.com to research fonts. Students to select 3-5 favourite fonts to experiment with. Using dafont.com needs to be explained in detail- eg. Using the preview box to view the word in a selected font. Discuss upper and lower case. Teacher to demonstrate how to turn script writing into bubble/block.
Step 3- The teacher to demonstrate how to add 3D shadows to any shape or font using the direction of sun/light as a means to explain the concept. Students to try this on their own fonts.
Step 4- Students choose their favourite font to enlarge onto their ‘poster’
Step 5- Explain ‘filling the space’ and Success Criteria. Go through the mathematical process of dividing up the page. (See handouts and exemplars)
Step 6- Students to LIGHTLY draw in their letters, enlarging each so that it fills the ‘boxes’ they have assigned for each letter to ensure the word fits, left to right, top to bottom.
Step 7- Add in the outline of 3D shadow- Do Not start shading. All shading is left until the end.
Step 8 – As a starter to the session, students are to practice ‘fading’ with the 6B pencil, controlling dark to light (see handout).
Step 9- Once the entire word is sketched lightly on the ‘poster’, students are to use an A4 page landscape (which is the same width as the poster) to trace through the first 2-3 letters of their word. This A4 page becomes their practice page to develop their ideas and experiment with various cultural patterns. A multitude of exemplars is provided as a reference. Discuss specific google search terms as well.
Step 10- when ideas have been developed and finalised on A4 pages, students go on to do their ‘real copy’, focusing on detailed, intricate patterns and shading.

OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING TIPS
It is really important to learn to look a lot at what you are trying to draw
Look at the outline of the shapes.... how do they look?
What shapes are in front of others?
How hard do you need to press and put pressure on your pencil to get different tones?
