My Art I students created these brilliant compositions after LOTS of hard work…I totally admire their dedication, patience, and skill. We reviewed the element of VALUE which involved creating value scales using different methods of shading.
After studying ancient Greek art and architecture, we focused on the three types of capitals for our artwork: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian.
Guidelines for student compositions:
- 12″x15″ paper
- Draw lightly!!
- Must include at least two of each type of capital
- Principles of art to consider-balance, variety, movement
- Provide variety by-some smaller, some larger capitals; coming into composition from different directions; negative space use
- Must use overlapping
- Divide paper into 3″ columns with a 1″ strip at top (for title)
- Use a different type of shading in each column while retaining the same value
- Use the same light source throughout
