Summative Acrylic Composition
| rubric_-_acrylic_layering_and_alternate_mediums.doc |
For this project, you are to choose a subject matter for your composition. Here are some options to choose from if you get stuck for ideas:
Choice #1
Choice #1
- Take a "selfie" or have someone take a photo of your portrait. Crop the image in an interesting way, or get expressive with the portrait. Make a face or tweak it using a computer program. Paint the portrait by using a different technique for the different parts of the composition (head, hair, clothes, background, etc). To draw the portrait, Manders will show you a grid method of transfer contour drawing.
- Choose an artist to research: Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol, Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Chuck Close
- Use this theme generator:
- Try to choose the first theme that is generated. Choose an object or series of objects that would best represent that theme. Be sure to paint from life or a photo. Set up your composition in an aesthetic way. First make thumbnail sketches of your plan in your sketchbook and check with Manders.
- Choose an artist to research: Janet Fish, Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Francis Bacon, Jacob Lawrence, Kehinde Wiley,
- Take a photo of the somewhere in the school while using a triangular compositional layout. Use this photo as your subject matter and theme to draw from. Use a minimum of 8 acrylic techniques (from the 18 we practiced in class) to best capture the photo.
- Choose an artist to research: Raphael, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Leonardo Da Vinci, MC Escher, Edvard Munch,
Choice #4
Choice #5
- Find a photo of your choice. Paint it only using an impasto technique with a palette knife.
- Choose an artist to research: Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Jane Frank, Cordelia Wilson, Jackson Polluck, Lucian Freud
Choice #5
- Paint from life: Acquire an object or series of objects to be painted as a still life. Follow the same steps for layering as the orange painting.
- Choose an artist to research: Paul Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Henri Rousseau,
