Continuous Contour Sign Language

Last semester my Art I's did a similar assignment, that I wanted to switch up a little bit for this semester. Here is last semester's examples, and here is this semester's:

My most recent work of art...

Continuous Contour Shoes

First we discussed how many different lines there are. Then I explained that a continuous contour line drawing is a single line that creates a whole image. I let hem pick something for me to draw on the boars as an example(ice cream one, dog). Then the students practiced random objects around the room- crayon, computer, flowers. I then tell them to take off their shoe and put it on thetable in front of them. Theirgoal is to draw as much detail in their shoe filling up a half sheet of paper. They can use as many sheets as they need. Once they are happy with their shoe the use a light table or window to trace their origi.al shoe 4 times. Outline with sharpie. Paint with watercolor.

Castle

beach scene

These are left over from last semester. I had kind of forgotten about them, but they were a fun project. The students had to reinvent the Starry Night with a different scene. I had some excellent ones, and I may come across some more pics later. They are done on black construction paper with oil pastels.

dolla dolla bills

These are from last semester. I had the students redesign the dollar bill. I gave them a print out with facts about the dollar, and things to include in their designs. They chose what medium they wanted to color them.

Rotating Color Wheel

The other art teacher at my school did these last semester and I thought they were fantastic. Sooo it was what I started this semester off with. I printed off a worksheet with the pieces already drawn on them. The students then cut the pieces out and traced them on a piece of poster board. We then divided the circle like a clock (12 & 6, 9&3, then 1 &2, 4&5, 7&8, 10&11) and used a ruler to connect opposite numbers. I then had them outline everything in sharpie and had a discussion on how to lable the colors, starting with primary, then secondary, then intermediate. The arrows were labled as complimentary, triad, and split compliments. I explain the color schemes after they painted and assembled the color wheel. They paint the color wheel, then paint the arrows with textures, and cut everything out. Assemble with brad- color wheel on bottom, then split compliment arrow, then triad, then complimentary. I then explain the arrows by having them point the compliment arrow to a color and they tell me what the compliment is. I did this with all of the arrows and also explain analogous colors. They then use this for their next project...coming up next!
