Assignments

Each assignment, when completed, will need to be uploaded to our art website: artsonia.com. Part of students' grades will be given based on the presentation of the image, a title for their artwork, and an artist statement with proper punctuation and capitalization that answers one of the prompting questions given for the assignment. Below are directions on how to upload any project to our website including projects that they might do at home! Publishing Your Art on Artsonia.com 1. Take a picture of your artwork using your camera tool (click the windows tool bottom left). The document will save on your camera roll in your pictures folder. 2.

Students will be introduced to facial proportion and learn how to draw the face more accurately. We will discuss several artists who work with portraiture and students will be able to use crayons, colored pencils, oil pastels or markers to enhance their portraits. Students will be assessed on their facial proportion, craftsmanship with the medium of their choice, and their use of contour lines to create accurate facial features.

Figure Drawings

1561773047figuredrawing.jpg
In this unit, students will be focusing on drawing the human figure in proportion. We will discuss, in depth,the idea that if you use the head as a form of measurement, most people are about 7 head lengths tall. We will practice drawing the body in proportion and then students will pose mannequins to create a unique pose from which to draw. We will be emphasizing not just proportion, but also creating forms and using value to create depth/space in our figures. Students will be assessed on proportion, drawing forms, using colored pencils to create value, and craftsmanship and originality.
