Create 5 new approaches:• Use the same object or same theme of objects. (i.e.

different shoes)• How can you create a mini concentration?• How can they match and be unified?• How can you show your artistic ability and skills?• How can you experiment and be creative to create a

unique approach?• 12 artworks are due next Monday. Nov 21.• This packet is due Monday in the beginning of class. 5

artworks next week or you’ll be finishing for homework this weekend and next. Should have 6 by this Monday. Printing plate can be one.

Approach #____ Description_________________________________________

1. Use the same object as a reference to make art from observation.

2. Materials/ Surface-_______________________ _________________________________________

3. Art Elements/ Design Principles- _____________ _________________________________________

• Stay after Tues-Fri for more time.

• Use the internet for ideas.

• Think smaller to get them finished.

• Check your name off on sheet for how many you’ve completed so far.

Grade for assignment• 12 artworks made is a separate 50 pt grade. 4 pts

each artwork that is “complete”.

• Then each artwork is 30 pts each.– Includes the object– Composition is balanced and interesting– Detail/ effort. use of supplies– Creativity – risk taking – differentiation from the norm

• Overall Unity is 20 pts. How do they match?• You will receive a 0 for any artworks less than 12.

Objective: You will view the criteria in order to assess how you will interpret creativity and requirements to make 12 artworks for the mini concentration.

• Get started right away.

DRILL:Get started right away. 12 approaches due Monday.

2. Try some of these ideas:1. Make artwork, then cut it up.2. Repeat object and overlap.3. Use only vertical and horizontal lines.4. Make art with one word or one letter only.5. Oil pastel under watercolor with colored

pencil on top.6. Collage with transfer with new Art 1

techniques.7. Stylize. Simplify, then add patterns and

designs.
