Famous Painting Re-ImaginedDo some searching for famous images from the world of art history-- any time period from ancient to modern. Find one that you can manipulate and re-imagine to fit with the theme of your book. Be sure to include visual journaling/ mixed media techniques.
Today we will be using 2.5x3.5 watercolor paper to create an artist trading card. These are small artworks that are created in one sitting that will be traded with Walton High School students. You can use any media you want, but be sure to put your name on the back. Turn them in at the end of the period.
Below is a quick video you can view to get ideas on artist trading cards.
Renaissance Examples: Tomorrow we will have a photo shoot so, bring props if you'd like!
SPREAD #2: INCLUDE A QUOTE & VISUAL JOURNALING TECHNIQUES OR A FOUND WORD POEM WITH VISUAL JOURNALING

I love this artist, Erin McIntosh! Follow her work on instagram @erinImcintosh or check out her website: www.erinmcintosh.com
Erin McIntosh is an artist and educator living near Athens, Georgia. She is an Assistant Professor at the University of North Georgia. Erin also has experience teaching art to elementary-aged children in the public school system, through Atlanta’s public art programs, and at the Georgia Museum of Art. She has taught multiple semesters in Cortona, Italy, on the University of Georgia’s Cortona, Italy, study abroad program. Erin’s studio practice is rooted in abstraction in water-based media.
In her Microbes series, Erin McIntosh uses the watercolor "drop in" method to get translucent under layers and then adds opaque layers on top with gouache. Gorgeous!!!
For the second best continuous line contour drawing you have some options. Option #1: Scribble!!Adding MANY more continuous line overlapping areas to add values and movement. For some examples of this style, check out these artworks by the artist, Vince Low. He has created artwork that some people call: Scribble Portraits. Option #2: Background OptionsCarefully trace over your continuous line with sharpie just like the first portrait, or use black ink and inking nibs, but now add something in the background to make the white and black portrait stand out. Below are examples of students who have used newspaper in the background. But you could use any of the example backgrounds below: Magazine Collage Options: Focus on Words or Text: Fill the background will various colors of text from magazines. Be sure to unify it by the way you lay them out or the size of the words/letters you use.
Magazine Collage + Gesso + Watercolor = unified magic! Take your magazine collage a step further by putting a layer of Gesso overtop. This will be translucent and have enough of a tooth that you can do a watercolor wash overtop to unify your color scheme. Paper Quilling: Create a 3D textured effect with design or pattern using colored paper strips and paper quilling techniques in the background.
Do you have another technique you'd like to try out!? Discuss it with Mrs. Denison to see if it can be the option you go with! Option #3: Blind contour--complete change!! |
