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...

Digital Imagery - Color and Form (Using Photoshop Suit)

Digital Imagery With the help of Digital Cameras and Photoshop Suit, my students create great art pieces, demonstrating excellent use of the program and using to the max the photos taken with a very regular camera. We are looking at: Direccion Depth Repetition Contrast Form Color Use of the Space Students are to be aware and understand: Pixels (pictures elements) Color Gradation RGB Dimensions (expressed by pixels) Resolution (PPI - Printing good) Students study and applied depth - perceiving these depths through shapes in order to keep viewers vision active. Seeing means grasping some outstanding features of objects, like; the color of the sky, the curve of the long tree, the rectangularity of the object to the right, and so on. Depth comes from the correct use of the Principals of Art and Design. Through...

I Play It All !

I play it all in each class. With each student of mine. I look at them closely, I see their eyes. I want to move their reason and heart. To bring life in each of their works of art.
