Sorry I will be out this morning for a doctor appointment for my mother. I expect great work, quiet voices, and tons of creativity from you all!
Today you will be creating a pumpkin design!! Tomorrow we will be taking your design and taping it onto your pumpkin to transfer it. (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PUMPKIN TOMORROW!!!) If you do not choose to bring a pumpkin then you will be making Papel Picado.
Pumpkin and Papel Picado Design Process:
1. Get a white sheet of copy paper from my desk! DO NOT USE YOUR SKETCHBOOKS...
2. Research, for a few minutes, different designs and get some inspiration.
3. DO NOT DIRECTLY COPY AN IDEA FROM THE INTERNET. MAKE IT ORIGINAL!
4. Draw out what you would like for your design to look like.
5. Darkly shade in the parts that will be cut out. This part will be the part that glows if you are doing the pumpkin design.
6. The white of the page will be the pumpkin or the paper flag! Make sure it is all connected and that your design isn't too close for the pieces to hold together. This is why I need to check and approve your designs before they will be transferred to the pumpkins or onto the paper flags.
7. Turn in your design to the pink tray on my desk by the end of the period for a design grade.
Best wishes!!!

Guest Artist: Allie Reyna Recap!
Yesterday we were privileged to have Allie Reyna come and speak to the art classes. She spoke about her career and life as an artist. She talked about her travels with YWAM and her adventures as a photographer. She spoke about her photography, inspiration, and life.
Some of the new vocabulary and photography terms she used were... catch-light, rule of thirds, and the golden hour. I want to see if any of my students actually check up on my blog. Therefore, if you are reading this, comment on this post about what you learned from Allie. I will give you a bonus grade of a 100 if you can also tell me what those three terms mean!
Here are some photos from the talk!

Cross Contour Lines

Look at the three images by Beka Bielman. I would like for you to identify what type of balance Bielman is using in each of her tree compositions as well as the other elements and principles that are being used in each composition. Post your answers to the blog in the comment section. This will be 25% of your “Warm Up” Grade for the week.
*New Vocabulary – Cross Contour Lines

Procedures:
After looking through Beka Bielman’s website see how you can use pen to enhance your watercolor designs. Once you are finished painting, practice adding ink to your design in your sketchbook first. I hope you will find a way to add line as well as enhance the forms within your designs by using her technique.
