Foundation II
Mid Term Project
(black and white, pencil)
1. Large thick paper
may have 1” border
2. Must fill ¾’s of the paper, composition, positive and
negative space, values, texture, contrast, dominance.
3. No metal, action
figures (sports figures), numbers, letters, words, logos, cartoons, clowns,
fantasy, silhouettes, war, etc.
4. School approved,
must be realistic. Reference must be check off beforehand. Look in books,
magazines, internet (but make sure you printer works), etc.
5. Subjects may be:
nature, animal, landscape, and inanimate objects, see examples from classroom,
etc.
6. Craftsmanship! No
folding, crinkles, smudges, presentation matters.
7. Remember that when
you are blocking in basic shapes be checking your proportions as well so you do
not need to get to the end and have to restart or erase because of size and
area.
8. Texture will be in
the foreground if you are doing any kind of animal. Make sure your fur,
feathers, smooth or rough are in the direction that shows on your reference,
i.e. vertical, horizontal, slant, etc.
9. Values as you add
these be sure you are giving me all that apply.
Such as high light, light, shadow edge, shadow core, reflected light and
even in some instances cast shadow.
¨
*Value is the light
and shadow on any given object.
¨
Without light you
cannot have shadows.
Rules:
a. When there is a change in
surface there is a change in values.
b. Reflected light is darker
than the shadow but lighter than the shadow core
10. Things to consider for this project: take
time to think about what will work the best and don’t wait till the last moment
to pull it together. This project you
can tell if a person rushes or does not spend much time on it. Best results are those who have taken the
time for all aspects.
11. 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. 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 (see the attached paper for
signing.

Second Hand Sculpture: (mid-term)
·
Reference:
This final must be chosen from a real sculpture, this is a sculpture found out
in the world today. It must be an
original three dimensional sculptures not a photo, or wall hanging. A sculpture
that is used to show beauty, enhance the decor.
Once the sculpture has been chosen copy and paste into word, and have
the following on the paper as well, centered: your name at the top, mid-term
sculpture, hour, title of sculpture, artist’s name, medium (what the sculpture
is made from), print it out. This will be turned in with the sculpture.
·
Unknown artists are not allowed. You must choose an animal or a person,
it must be a sculpture that you can tell what it is no abstracts.
·
You will be using second hand objects to create
a replica of your sculpture. That
means no coping what the artist did or used to create his/ her sculpture,
i.e. if the artist used crayons, or horseshoes you may not.
·
Medium:
You will be using second hand items: these are things found from the
garage, basement, storage, grandma and grandpa’s home, your home etc. You may go to the D.I. or if there is a
yard-sale you may purchase these items, (nothing new). You need to remember
these are not items you would throw away but items you would give away, sale or
donate or reuse.
·
Attachment:
You may use wire, hot glue, and bolts, even string, anything that will hold
your sculpture together, but realize nothing may be just bought to do so.
·
Non-Usable
items: The following are things you may not use within your sculpture: cotton
balls, toothpicks, Q- tips, popsicle sticks, plastic, full body dolls (Barbie or other), cardboard
(of any kind), or anything found on the floor that should have gone in the
garbage, candy, gum, food wrappers, etc.
·
You may not use items that spoil such as food
(fruits, veggies, etc.), or items from nature such as branches, leaves,
pinecones or rocks, etc.
·
This is not an origami, a carving, or cutting
and pasting so no paper, paper Mache, clay/play dough, soap carved, or carved
wood, Legos, pop cans, and plastic bottles (some exceptions are allowed). All must be constructed with second hand
objects and constructed together by bring each item and adding them to the
sculpture. You may cut a little bit but the items must be intact to be used.
·
Finishing:
You may enhance your sculpture with feathers, beads, paint, etc.
·
The sculpture must withstand the travel from
home and fit through the doors. They
must be at least one foot in height or length, or larger.

Results: Things to consider for this project: take time to think about what will work the
best and don’t wait till the last moment to put it together. These sculptures are to have creativity,
stability, and thought put into it. Best
results are those who have taken the time to put into the project.
·
Parents you are to be a part of this
grade. I need you to watch you student

forth a good effort, worked hard and shown creativity with this sculpture. You are not to help. This should be their work not a parent or
sibling. If you need an example of a
finished sculpture please e-mail me and I will send an example along.
