TEST GRADE!!!

 MAKE SURE YOU READ THE WHOLE BLOG POST BEFORE WRITING!!

Your assignment for Thursday and Friday is to type at least a one page paper using word or pages using 12 point font, with standard margins, and double spaced, about the work of art below. The paper will need to include 3 paragraphs at least.


http://benheine.deviantart.com/art/Pencil-Vs-Camera-57-266785740
Artist: Ben Heine
Title: Pencil vs Camera - 57

The first paragraph will be about what you know about the artwork. You will list and talk about the things that you see in the work. During this portion you will NOT include any conclusions that you are drawing. You will list only specific images. (For example: In the artwork there is a key. The key is above the person's chest.)

The second paragraph will be about what you infer about the artwork. This is where you can make up a story about what the art is about. What is the message that the artist is trying to send to the viewer. You can draw conclusion during this paragraph based on what you know. (check out the post from Wednesday for more information)

The third paragraph will be about the elements and principles that are being used in the artwork. You will discuss each element and principle that is being used. You must include what the dominant color scheme is and what the balance is within the artwork.

Elements:
Line, Shape, Form, Space, Color, Value, Texture

Principles:
Unity, Balance, Pattern, Variety, Repetition, Rhythm, Movement, Proportion, Emphasis

If you would like to add an additional paragraph, to make your paper long enough, you can write about what you think of the artist and his artwork.

Remember this assignment is a test grade and you have Thursday and Friday to complete it! None of you can afford to make a bad grade on this assignment. The sub will also be keeping a list of those who talk during the test as well as a list for those who cheat or distract others. This will result in a poor sub grade. You may listen to your music while you work! NO TALKING!!!

ALSO: If you would like to re-test on the Elements and Principles of Design you need to review old tests and old blog posts, as well as notes. I will give you a re-re-test on Monday during class. You can make up to an 80 on this test. Remember it is the last week for this six weeks and Friday is early release so use your time wisely. If those of you who work with Mrs. Kautz would like to go to her room to write you may do so.
