Triptych - The Meaning of 3 of Us in One Element and More

The Triptych

Students need to work together towards one tell,

one element of unity, and 3 in one composition.

So the viewer looks from one panel to the next,

in order to come to terms with how the art speaks to them and

how they can appreciate three different artworks in one composition.

The colors of the three pieces of art keep the artwork interesting.

Students can alter the colors and transition within each of the pieces

during the making of the art

This way students are to:

Use an overhead projector, to outline the contour of their head/face (Siluet)

over poster papers (420mm x 297mm.)

Students write about their likes, challenges, happiness, or own events.

What makes one unique and amazing.

Looking closer at the story they choose meaningful colors

To then use the elements as lines or shapes permitting the expression of feelings

or meanings.

Students make connections using color, lines, shapes, and repetition to help and

unified the design.

Making connections create a way, and direction beginning and

ending of their story.

Learning Color with The Masters - The Opposite or Complementary Colors

Applying one Layer at a time Color by color and layer by layer, students craft their work. My student chooses a work from the Masters of Impressionism, and it will go this way: 1. The student prepares the canvas using Gesso to seal and prime the canvas before the oil is applied. The gesso should be toned down; this way, the canvas doesn't lose its texture, and the oil will run smoothly. Also will protect the canvas from deterioration; the oil will ruin the canvas quite fast if it has not been primed. 2. The student draws the artwork carefully, soft lines divide each color and each object. Students are not allowed to use a grid; they only find the middle point by drawing an "X" across the canvas, then drawing. It is very important to learn to look closer, to see the distance and locations correctly, to conquer and own the space and what lives in it. 3. Look closer to the color wheel. Students look at the colors with caution, making note of h...

Percepciones Significativas en La Visualización del Arte y el Diseño - Parte 2nd

Percepciones Significativas en La Visualización del Arte El hacer, poner, cambiar, modificar, distribuir, crear o edificar en o sobre cualquier espacio. Parte 2 Fuerzas Psicológicas - El Orden Entre tu espacio y los elementos artísticos que se disparan de tu mente ¿Qué controlas y no controlas? La Influencia del pasado, el azar y lo creado Conectamos cualquier forma o figura con memorias visuales que, repetidas durante nuestras vidas, se acumulan en una memoria implícita, más exactamente en los ganglios basales y el cerebelo. Elaboramos nuestro trabajo creativo de la misma manera, conectando esas formas, figuras, colores y más, a esas memorias implícitas que mantenemos en nuestro cerebro; algunas veces con conciencia y otras ocurren sin darnos cuenta. Préstamos imágenes de todas partes y repetimos constantemente las historias y anécdotas de nuestra inmediata circunferencia. Aunque existen muchísimos más elementos en el vasto campo de la visión que esos que mantenemos e...

A Preface to a Creative Line - A warm up activity that will be suitable to every grade every student

A Preface to a Creative Line A Preface to a Creative Line - A warm-up activity that will be suitable for every grade and every student Students on many occasions, when newly arrived at my Art classes, show negative feelings and little or not interest towards any manuality or freehand visual experience. Demonstrating cold, sometimes sinic expressions and unoleassent beahavior. Except for those students who already have a heart for the arts. Surprisingly, the art class can move slowly and may be difficult. However, all those feelings are just based on unawareness, fear of ownself capacities and potential, previous poor teaching, and very little or no exposure to the world of creativity and visual expression, the plastic (moldable) arts. It doesn’t matter if students arrive quiet, loud, timid, short or tall, fast thinkers or lacking self-confidence, they must be all welcome to experience the magic of the free line and colors, the amazing feeling of making visual displays ca...
