Welcome to Y8 Visual Art for Term 4
Either Matua Brent or Mrs Newbold will be your teachers throughout the term.
Your focus for the term will be on mark-making using a variety of techniques and artistic processes.You will be studying a range of artist models, practising your observational drawing so that you can improve your accuracy and shading to show highlights and shadows.
The expectation of you is high as we believe that Visual Art is just as important as any other subject.

Practising your observational drawing
In order to give you a fair assessment of your drawing ability we need to give you a variety of drawing tasks.
By Year 8 to get a "Beyond' level, we expect that you can copy a drawing completed by an artist and show correct accuracy and proportion of shapes as well as use a shading pencil to copy the tonal variations in the piece.
We have three separate drawing tasks for you to work on over the next two weeks and you must use a 6 B pencil, for at least two of the drawings and then if you like, you could try using a pen for the third work.
Look carefully at these two pictures and choose ONE of them to copy accurately into your drawing book
Watch carefully how your teacher demonstrates using different pressures with the pencil to create the different tones and remember.... look, draw, look, draw, look!
Copy this information onto your page
HELPFUL TIPS
1. Draw the outline shapes first and look closely to get accurate proportion
2. Draw the shape that's at the bottom of the page first as usually the other shapes will be overlapping in behind this one.
3. Try to look really closely to find where the highlights and shadows fall. There will always be a light source showing on objects from somewhere.

Using pen to draw with
TASK:
After watching the video choose two of these pictures to draw. Take up half a page for each one so that you have two drawings on one page. Around the outside of your final drawings demonstrate with examples, the different types of marks you can make using a pen.
You should notice that the way the highlights and shadows are coloured is a different way of mark-making to the shoe drawings in pencil.
You may want to set aside a page for practising your different pen mark-making so that you can create the best copy possible. Try some hatching, cross-hatching, scribble and short and long line mark making for your practise.
ASESSMENT TASK
You can choose whether you would like to use pencil or pen but this task is your assessment to show your drawing level.
You have two days to do it. -
Task 1: Your task is to learn the art of drawing a realistic eye. below is a video tutorial for you to follow the step you may need to watch this a few times to really understand what is expected.

Task 2: Below is a video tutorial of colouring eyes with colour pencils please watch and repeat the process
-
Your project is to create a surrealist eye that is representative of your water whanau.

We are learning to create Op Art which is art that has an optical illusion
Success Criteria
A design that demonstrates the concept of op art where you are looking down into a point in the middle of your page
You have shaded areas to give that feel of roundness to the forms
To DO
For this task we will make a design that gives you the impression that you are looking down into a hole. Watch the You Tube video and then begin to make your own design in your book.
You will need:
a pencil
a ruler
a rectangle drawn in your book that takes up most of the page
coloured pencils
vivids/sharpies
