Foundation Art Final Color Project Requirements

Foundation Art Final Color Project Requirements

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 score) Thanks for your help.  Ms. Ewell
