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- _____________ _________________________________________

4. Style/ Artist influence- ______________________ _________________________________________

5. Creative Approach/ Technique- ______________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________

What is creativity?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.

DRILL:1. 12 artworks are due on Monday,

November 21. Today you should ideally be on Approach #8.

2. How can creativity be judged? 5 minute lesson.

3. Assignment grading will be viewed and we will get you geared to get some creative approaches in mind.

Creativity

• Number of responses- did you do all 12?• Differentiation from the norm or average

answers. Unique individual response• Risk-taking- something new- outside your

comfort zone. Take a chance.• Elaboration- detail and time spent on it.• Experimentation-layering supplies and

combining them. Mixed media

• How is this a different approach?

• Stylize the objects.

• Add designs• Thick and thin

lines.• Black and

white

• Same as slide before

• Different use of color and stylization

• How was this done?

• How could you translate this to your object?

• Warm colors with black• Add patterns and designs• Linoleum (Stay after

school)

• Painting or chalk on collage background

• Collage background with white paint or white out pen on top

• White oil pastel with water color over it.

• Skull• In graphite (pencil)• On brown paper• Black drawings on

top

• Antique background

• Rubbing

• Simplified objects

• Cubist• Simplified shapes• Cut out shapes• Glue them on• Add repeated

lines.

How is this creative?

Artist: Sagaki Keita

Mosaic• Monochromatic color scheme

• Add other objects.

Draw it on top of writing. Paint it. Cut it up into pieces.

Think about unique ways to solve this problem:• You will need to spend time on

this at home to finish all 12.• 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.

• 12 approaches due Monday.

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.

Take 12- Approaching Creativity CritiqueObjective: You will analyze your work and classmates’ pieces in order to evaluate what you learned and your creative potential.DRILL:1. Take out all of your artworks (all 12) that you made with

same object.2. If you paid a lab fee. You will get a portfolio. 3. Lay the portfolio out and open. Place all artworks out on it.4. Use the blue scrap paper to number your pieces. Cut out

numbers and place next to each artwork.5. Prepare your sketchbook page to critique your artwork and

if you prefer- for others to write their comments in there as well.
