Final Project

You get to choose from 1 of the following 3 assignments as your final for Art 3.  Remember at this point all other assignments are due by the end of the Quarter unless I have told you personally otherwise.

On both of these options, I want you to research and discover your own interpretation of each.  They can both be interpreted in many ways.  Let's see what you can come up with.  I don't want you to copy something straight from the internet.  I want to see your creative side and what you can come up with. 

Choice #1:
Create a picture within a picture.  You can interpret this as hidden imagery or 2 images that somehow relate to the same theme.  Drawing must be no smaller then 12x18.  Must show great use of value-going from dark to light-you can not use solid colors.  Showing great value shows me that you are at the advanced level and that you are ready to move onto Art 4.

Choice #2:
Create an artwork that shows Emphasis on one particular thing.  Drawing must be no smaller then 12x18.  I should clearly be able to tell what image is the image you are emphasizing.  You must show me great use of value as well, like I said in Choice #1.

Choice #3:
Showcase the 4 different seasons into one artwork in your own way.  You can show the actual nature of the seasons or you can depict the seasons in a unique way using images or people. 

For any of these assignments I am giving you the opportunity to use Oil Paints.  I will have to give you some major tips that you must know in order to use them.  And for those of you who are unaware of oil paints, Oil Paints are what I use on all of my paintings.  They stay wet for weeks, but the nice thing is you can come back the next day and mix into the colors you were working on the day before.

All of these projects will be done on drawing paper or painting paper.  We have all used the canvas boards at this point, so lets stick with paper for this one. 

One last thing, ALL OF YOUR ARTWORKS NEED TO BE DONE FROM UNIQUE OR DIFFERENT ANGLES.  DIFFERENT THEN THE NORM.  AND YOU SHOULD USE YOUR OWN IMAGERY UNLESS DOING YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING YOU CAN NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF YOURSELF.
