CSET 3 Art

• Drawing


  • technique using pencils, pens, markers, crayons, and chalk
  • Can be black and white or color
• Painting


  • Focus on specific principles like shape, value, and color to guide skill progression
  • expereiment with differnt brush size
• Printmaking


  • Use real objects like leaves to print on paper, or create a relief that can be inked to print on a broad range of materials
• Printmaking


  • Screenprinting, engraving, and linocut
• Construction


  • Students can use scissors, glue, and tape in 2- or 3- dimensional art pieces to construct artwork from found and original artwork
  • ex: collages
• Ceramics


  • Create examples of historical bowls, pots, or other vessels when teaching ancient history
  • Ceramic wheels, pinch-pots to experiment with shape and size
• Fiber art


  • Students can dye fabrics and experiment with hues or use weaving, coiling, and sewing fabrics
• Electronic media


  • Create videos, graphics, websites, and computer programs to represent a variety of content being studied across disciplines
• possible hazards/ safety concerns (art): spills, sharp edges, cutting materials, hot items
• principles of art: how the various elements are composed in art work

  • may be done independently or with other elements
• atmospheric perspective: used to create depth or dimensions by using overlapping color, size, and contras to reproduce the effects of distant objects
• linear perspective: a technique for representing three-dimensional objects on a flat surface based on math created during the Renaissance. Converging lines meet at a vanishing point, making objects around the vanishing point seem smaller
• principles of art include proportion, pattern, unity, contrast, rhythm, emphasis, and balance and symmetry
• elements of art include the color wheel, lines, shapes, texture, value, and space
• proportion: the relative size and scale of elements in design (the relationship of one part to a whole)
• pattern: the visual repetition of elements
• unity: the arrangement of elements and principles within media to create a feeling of completeness or wholeness
• unity can be achieved through continuation, repetition, simplicity, harmony, and variety
• continuation (unity): lines move the eye form one shape to the next
• repetition: repeated shapes, colors, and/ or textures
• simplicity (unity): limiting the number of variations
• harmony (unity): agreement among elements of a work of art (e.g., monochromatic or analogous color schemes)
• variety (unity): use of different colors, shapes, and textures to create interest
• contrast: the differences in values, colors, textures, and other elements to achieve emphasis and unity
• rhythm: repeating an element to make a work seem active or suggest movement or vibration
• emphasis: stressing one element or area of work to make it attract the viewer's attention first
• focal point: the area of a work that is empahsized
• subordinate elements: elements noticed after the dominant emphasis
• dominate elements: elements noticed first in a work of art
• balance/ symmetry: equalizing elements in a work of art to create visual equilibrium
• line is required to display symmetry
• central axis: a dividing line that acts as a visual balancing point
• bilateral symmetry: identical on both sides
• approximate symmetry: almost identical on both sides
• radial symmetry: radiates from a central point
• informal symmetry/ asymmetrical balance: unlike elements are balanced visually
• color wheel: wheel showing primary, secondary, tertiary, analogous, and complimentary colors
• primary colors: a group of colors that can be mixed to make other colors (red, blue, yellow)
• secondary colors: colors made from mixing two primary colors (green, purple, orange)
• tertiary colors: colors created when a primary and secondary color are mixed (ex: blue-green)
