Final Project: Color

There are things you will need to consider when looking for a final project. Look in magazines, books, calendars, novelty magazines, etc.  The list can go on you need only look. It must be in color. Pick something that will challenge but not so had you get frustrated.
  1. You will need to think of the subject matter:
*no cartoons/ or coloring book style
            *no logos/ numbers/ letters/ silhouettes, etc. no exceptions.
            *it must be realistic, not fantasy
            *nature, landscape, inanimate, portrait, etc. are a few examples.

2.      You will need to think of the Composition. It must be a good composition, filling 3/4‘s of the paper. Must be 3/d the whole picture needs to be looked at, the positive / negative space, asymmetrical or symmetrical balance and more will need to be considered, outlines should be the start only I should not see pencil by the end of your composition. 
3.      Values; these are the most important part of your final. They will help you make your composition 3/d. You will be using colored pencils, because of this you will need to consider your values in a different way. Changing the intensity of the colors going from a deeper color to lighter in the same pencil, or each section outlined, these are not values. Values in color are used with white, black, and even a gray pencil. Another way would be using the direct complement and even the opposite of what you are using for example if using a red using green as the complement or the cool colors as the values.  It is not always better to use black or gray for a darker value.

4.      Proportions, Texture, Craftsmanship will also be considered. You need to remember how an overall effect will look. This makes a difference to how I think you feel about the final. If it looks sloppy, ripped, folded, wrinkled, not finished or even looks like a rushed job, you could care less about your grade.

5.      You will be using large thick paper, and may have a 1” border. If you are going to use your own colored pencils, look for a large enough set (more than 12). If you are planning to purchase your set and are looking at a really good set consider the prismacolor brand.  These are more expensive but they are the better quality for your money.  (We sell then here at the school, or you may spend more at other stores).

6.      Parents I would like you to keep track of how much time your student spends on their assignment and the amount of effort they put into it.  How well they do their values.  I would also like you to give your student a rating between 1-25 with 1 being no effort or time spent and 25 being many hours and a high effort spent.  (what would you give them for a grade) Thanks for your help.  Ms. Ewell


Due: ________________________________ Late work will only receive ½ credit.

Final Requirements: Mythical Creature Sculpture
¨  *Skeletal/ armature must be constructed from cardboard, measuring no smaller than 1 foot in diameter, but may be larger and fit through all doors. This armature is much like the skeletal of your own body it is the basic mold for the inside of the creature. The Animal must be a full animal not just a head but with the full body as well. This will be a 3/d creature no flat objects. It must stand or be stable in position you have chosen. If there should be legs make them as part of the armature.
¨   
¨  *Construction: must hold together, you will be coming from home to school.  Using glue, tape, wire, thread, yard, etc. Some things work out better than others, experiment to find out which one for your creature. (hot glue gun is not always the best)
¨   
¨  *Cover: you must cover the outer with what will complete you creature i.e. fur, wrapping paper, paint, feathers, bling, fabric, yarn, please no lined, or construction paper this will just fall apart and not help with a final look, just remember the original cardboard must not be showing, etc.
¨   
¨  *No drawing on creature with marker, pencil etc. you must make or paint your eyes, mouth or any physical features and body parts, etc. to complete your creation. Go the extra mile.
¨   
¨   *Tag: This is your information; you must include a tag with your creatures name and your name along with the date and hour.  Use yarn or string to tie the tag onto the creature it looks better than just a scrap piece of paper scribbled on with information with tape holding it in place.
¨   
¨  *Creativity: this means background knowledge and using your imagination along with items that are common and turning them into uncommon ways, this will play a huge part in the project.  Take time to come up with an original mythical creature.
¨   
*Elements: color (any that will enhance the beauty of the creature), texture (feathers, bling, cloth, etc.), form (every angle must be considered 3/d) these are the most predominant found on your project.

*Principles: balance (symmetrical, must be able to stand on its own), unity (everything that comes together and works with it), proportions (the head, legs, body work with each other not against having the creature fall) are the most predominant.

¨  *Take the time to create, don’t wait till the night before. You have time to create but only if you don’t wait.
¨   
¨ *Parents I would like you to rate you student between 1-25 on effort, time spent, creativity, construction, and overall completion on this project.  I would like you to consider all aspects of this project. Read the instructions for what is to be the finished product. A parent form has been attached for you to fill out, and your students is to return. Make sure they are finished before being sent.  Thanks for your help comments are welcome. If you lose the form another one may be found on my blog.
¨   

¨  *Due date: __________________________, No late work will be accepted for full credit second day only ½ points given. This will be due at the end of the trimester. Do your best to be on time. **** Parent please
