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.
- 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
