Visual Arts (7)
Rotation 5, Visual Arts
In this rotation we are working with the following elements of design: value, color, and symmetry to draw the human head. Students have to utilize shading, light source, aspects of color, and the multitude of new discoveries about the face. Students do a total of four drawings. The first two are magazine pictures that each focus on value and then color. These first two works are the warm-up for the later two works. Drawing number three is either a self-portrait or a drawing of their art teacher in black and white. This work allows them to demonstrate what they have learned on the first two drawings. The final drawing has several ways that it can be done. They may do just a color self- portrait, experiment with substituting warm and cool colors, or they may chose to do a large “parallel-projection” drawing in the style of the artist Chuck Close. In the final drawing they demonstrate their understanding and skills to make the aesthetic decisions that control the visual outcomes of the work.

7th grade Visual art rotation 1
I
In the 7th grade visual arts rotation students utilized the following elements and principles of design: value, color, contrast, and symmetry to create portraits. Students used various drawing techniques to create four drawings. The first drawing was a magazine value study (black and white) with the focus on light source, contrast, and symmetry. The second drawing was a magazine color study. This challenged students to experiment with different color media and use hue to indicate light source. Students were able to use oil pastel, soft pastel, or color pencil. The third drawing was either a self-portrait or a drawing of a faculty member in black and white. The final drawing combined elements from each of the three previous drawings. This drawing was a large parallel projection that utilized a gird process, inspired by the artist Chuck Close. Students study the artist Chuck Close, an artist students studied. In the final drawing the students have to demonstrate their understanding of portraiture chose the appropriate drawing skills.
Throughout this rotation students created and utilized blogs. In the blogs, students described techniques and reflected on the creative process. The blog address is provided below and you are encouraged to see both the artwork and student insights, for yourself.
