Due to EOCTs, our classes are longer but on fewer days.
For MONDAY/TUESDAY classes, this is the last days the still life will be up in class. The paintings are due to me by Monday, May 3rd. You will have to work on your own time to complete this. No more class time will be devoted to this project.
For WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY/FRIDAY, we will begin a new project
____________________________
Final Exam Assignment - Must be completed prior to the final day. Your presentation is due on the exam day.
Objective: Create three trading cards about your famous artist with the following-
• Creatively use mixed media collage to create an image of your artist that is representative of his/her art style and include some portion of the artist’s most favorite work
• Cleverly design a title for the card on the front so that the artist name is a part of the overall design.
• On the back, provide vital information about the artist that is creatively and correctly drawn (remember writing is a form of drawing)
• Creatively present your artist card and artist on final exam day
What To Do?
1. Use the attached template to design three trading cards. You can cut out the copy paper template and work with that paper, or cut out the template from any material you want; or use a regular 3.5 x 2.5 sized playing card or any trading card.
2. To design the front cover – use any 2-D media you want. You can include one small portion (no larger than a 1/3) of either the artist portrait or the famous artwork, but not both. You must enhance this image in some way. In other words, don’t just glue it down and say you’re done – be creative. The front cover should offer some insight into the artist style and personality.
3. Script – Don’t forget you must have a title on the front. Make the title a part of the overall design. As well as think about how you will present the information on the back.
4. Vital Information – Birth & Death (if applicable); where he/she was born and where was the place your artist did most of his/her work; technology of the artist’s day; most famous work; your favorite piece and why; and finally who or what was the love of your artist’s life.
5. On final day, bring all three cards to class and present your artist. You will be graded on how creative the experience is. You can write a poem, compose a song, dress as the artist, be an art critique of the artist’s time, dress up as the artist’s love – you will be get points for how it is presented.
6. You will give me one card, keep one card, and trade with one other student.
