Monochromatic Still Life


 

1.  Choose 3 items from up front.
2.  Draw them clumped together on your page-NOT IN THE CENTER.
3.  Going off  the edge of the paper helps make your composition more interesting. 
4.  Then draw out a line or patterned background.
5.  Then choose 1 color plus Black and White and begin mixing colors to show me TINTS and SHADES of your color throughout your artwork. 
6.  The objects should show smooth value transitions-the backgrounds can show a solid color with different ranges of color throughout. 

Assessing B&W Painting

Answer the following questions below under comments in full sentences.  Please be honest and follow the guidelines for each question.  Assessments are intended to help your reflect on what you have created to help you get better on your future assignments, giving you a focus to think about.


 1.  Tell me what you think your strengths are after completing your first painting assignment.  Please be detailed in your response-meaning tell me why you feel this was your strength-don't just say 'just because'.

2.  What is your own personal goal for the next painting assignment?  And tell me how you think you can go about achieving your goal.

3.  Looking at one other piece that is already in the sculpture upfront, I want you to describe one of the pieces that you like using at least 3 art terms.  There is a list of art terms on my from chart if you need help.  Think about some of the terms I used throughout this lesson, like value, smooth flow, etc.
