The information is in the blog if you need to look just check it out. The first will be the 8th graders the second is the 9th graders.
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
(no bigger than 36” please). This armature is much like the skeletal of your
own body it is the basic mold for the inside of the creature. The creature must
be a full body not just a head but with legs as well. This will be a 3/d
creature no flat objects. It must stand or be stable in position you have
chosen. Everything, (just like your body) should be part of the armature.
¨
¨ *Construction: must hold together, you
will be coming from home to school.
Using glue, tape, wire, thread, yarn, 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 paper, 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 creature’s name, your name along with the
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.
The tag will be graded along with the creature make it good.
¨
¨ *Creativity: this means background knowledge and using your
imagination along with items that are common and turning them into an uncommon
way, this will play a huge part in the project.
Take time to come up with an original mythical creature.
¨
*Elements of
art: 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
of design: balance (symmetrical or asymmetrical it must be able to stand on its
own), unity (everything that comes together and works with it, nothing looks
out of place), proportions (the head, legs, body work with each other not
against having the creature fall over) 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
student is to return the form for points. Make sure the project is finished
before you send the form. 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.

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 hard you get
frustrated.
- 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 will be
looked at, the positive / negative space, asymmetrical, symmetrical, or
radial 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 very important to your final. They
will help you make a 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, 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 use the green its complement or the cool colors as the
values. It is not always better to use
black or gray for a darker value if you are wanting a fresh look.
4.
Proportions, Texture, Craftsmanship, and Unity
will also be considered. You need to remember how an overall effect will
look. This makes a difference to how 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.
Time spent also shows through your composition.
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. (They
can be purchased 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 all the items
listed in bold. I would also like you to
give your student a rating between 1-25 with 1 being no effort or rushed, then
25 being many hours and a high effort spent.
(what would you give them for a score) Thank you for your help. Ms. Ewell
