Drawing an optical illusion with warm and cool complimentary colors.

11/8/2021

 

 Using the art elements of color - we remember colors are
warm (yellow, orange, red) or cool (purple, blue, green)
we also remember that colors on opposite sides of the color wheel are compliments. We want to add the art element of SPACE and the design element of MOVEMENT to make a drawing that creates the illusion of moving in space!

When we shade a color and want it to look round - we make it dark at the edges - where it recedes - and light on the surface closest to us like a refection.
​
Can you see the difference between the two drawings here? What are four ways they are different? Are there more than four ways they are different?

Picture
Picture

1. one has two centers. 2. the right one has more pronounced highlights. 3. the right one has lines that curve two directions. 4. The color plans are different. Can you describe them? Do you notice that both have alternative stripes?

So our goals are to -

- Use line to create an optical illusion.

- Group together warm and cool colors.
- Use shading to create form within the line composition.
we won't use a sharpie, a pencil works just fine, but you can watch the video to see the instructions. We will use colored pencils for the color. Remember to color dark at the edge and light at the the center. 
Watch the video and then we'll try it together.

Using Shape and Color to make Pattern

11/1/2021

 

Pattern is a Design Element. 

We use words to make a sentence in the same way we use
art elements to make design elements.

So today we will use repeated shapes and colors to make a pattern. That's what a pattern is - repeated art elements.

Picture

A tessellation is a specific kind of patterns where shapes fit together with no space in between. It is also called tilling because it like a tile floor. But you can see the 'tiles' don't have to be squares - can you find the basic shape here that 'tiles'?

We are going to do some tessellating patterns by cutting up a square into a new shape and then tracing it so as to make a tiled pattern - and then coloring it.

Picture

Picture

Be sure to grid off your paper with squares lightly in pencil before you cut, tape and trace. As you can see from the images below that will make them fit on the paper.

Using color

10/25/2021

 

Color is the next art element. 
We can talk about color in a few ways.

​Primary colors - and how they mix. Notice colors on a screen are different than with paint. Paint uses pigments - not light waves.

Picture

colors across from each other on the color wheel are called compliments and they make each other seem brighter when next to each other. so for a bright painting you want some compliments.

Colors also are considered Warm or Cool.

Picture

Using water color and crayons - you can draw the leaves or trace them. Make sure to have a group that overlaps. 

When you the add color - start with the lightest colors first - yellow. Wait till the end to add the darkest darks. With the water colors let the colors run into each other. Paint the back ground last.

Notan Squares

10/11/2021

 

​Notan is the Japanese word that means the use of light and dark

Picture

In this assignment we will use the first two art elements - line and shape. 

Some ideas/words to know - 
Positive Space and Negative space.

Picture
Positive shapes occupy positive space.

The area around positive shapes, the background, is negative space. A solid piece of sculpture occupies space, and makes the space around it come to life. In fact, sculptors think of the entire composition, the interplay between solid and space, when they create a work of art.

​In this diagram, the negative shapes are as clear and distinct as the positive shapes. occupy positive space. The area around positive shapes, the background, is negative space. A solid piece of sculpture occupies space, and makes the space around it come to life. In fact, sculptors think of the entire composition, the interplay between solid and space, when they create a work of art. In this diagram, the negative shapes are as clear and distinct as the positive shapes.

Another thing to think about is the difference between symmetry and asymmetry.

Picture

So now -

Picture

We are going to start with a small black square and make a pattern with leaf motifs. Start with a practice small one and then we might move on to a larger one.
