Painting:
India Ink Portraits
Essential Question:
1. How does value alter perspective in art?
- Change in value can change a perspective on an art piece. Using different values can make something interesting and easy to look at. Even through practicing value I found that the amount of water I would use for a stroke could alter the entire painting and change the way I had expected to look at my painting.
Constraints: Terms:
- original photography - Value: the lightness or darkness of a color or shade.
- mixed media paper - Contrast: the degree of difference between tones.
- india ink - Composition: the act of combining parts or elements to form a whole.
- paintbrush -Constrains: the materials used to create art.
- India Ink: carbon black pigment in liquid form
- Wash: a thinned down-mostly water-usage of paint (india ink)

Intro to Drawing:
Pastel Project
This Project was very fun for me and I enjoyed creating this piece!
Essential Questions:
1. Why is the use of warm and cool colors important?
2. How do highlights and shadows effect the realism of the piece?
Learning Objectives:
Students will-
1. Enhance their rendering abilities
2. Explore the art of chalk pastels
3. Strengthen shading skills
4. Envision and critique to reflect
Terms:
Warm colors: red, orange, yellow : warm colors are bright and vivid
Cool Colors: green, blue, purple: cool colors are calm and soothing
Complimentary Color: opposing colors on the color wheel
Pastel: derived from word “paste” –pure, powdered pigment bound together with resin; soft, delicate shades of color
-first used as a painting medium in the 18th century.
-Rosalba Carriera (1630’s) made it popular with her elegant portraits
with Louis XIV (King of France)
-by 1780, pastels became a viable art form
