Summer 2018 Assignments

This course is an intense college level art class. There is no room for slacking off…..starting with the summer assignments.

Every REAL artist has at least 1 sketchbook. It doesn’t need to be specifically for this class, just one that you can utilize to show me your ideas/ thinking process.

Sketchbook tips:

Draw in it EVERYDAY Don’t focus on trying to finish a drawing…..you can always come back to it later No ideas? Utilize your resources- draw things around you, places you go, people

you see. Still don’t know what to draw? Use the internet to search for ideas Try to FILL the page Push yourself…..sketch things you’ve never sketched before. Try new things….. Draw directly from life instead of using reference photos, whenever possible.

1 prize will be given to the student that fills the most pages in their sketchbook. The key word here is FILLS…..

Select 2 of the projects listed below to complete as your summer assignment (in addition to working in your sketchbook).

1. Assignment 1: Research one of the following styles below. Create a painting or drawing (in color) to represent your interpretation of one of the styles. Be prepared to defend/ explain your choice.

Fauvism Expressionism Cubism Surrealism

2. Assignment 2: Paint/ draw (in color) an abstraction of an object from your every day environment (hint: search on google for what abstraction really means).

3. Assignment 3: Develop a repeated pattern for a fabric design. Must show some color and can (but doesn’t have to) be in your sketch book.

4. Assignment 4: Draw a still-life of your family members’ shoes. You should include at least three shoes - go for interesting shapes, design, texture, color. Place them in different positions.

self-portraits, their styles and techniques. Check out Van Gogh, Frieda Kahlo, and Pablo Picasso.

Prizes will be given out during the first week of school to the BEST 2-D and Drawing summer projects (in addition to the most filled pages of a sketchbook). We will vote on the winners as a class….
