Still-life in Color
Sketchbook #3
For your next sektchbook assignment, I'd like you to create a still-life drawing in color.
1. Choose 3-5 objects to draw
2. Come up with an interesting composition by filling up the entire space and touching at least two sides of the page. Also experiment with size, angle, and placement of your object on the page.
3. Accurately draw the objects
4. Choose any media you like to add color (ex. watercolor, tempera paint, oil pastel, chalk pastel, color pencils, and etc.)
5. Create a light source and show a full range of values(shading) to illustrate light and shadows you see.

Mid-Term Review
• Elements of Art
- Line - a long narrow mark or stroke made on or in a surface
- Shape-it is an enclosed space
- Color - the element of art produced when a wavelength of light strikes an object and reflects back to the eyes.
- Texture- the surface quality of how something feels
- Form – a three-dimensional geometrical figure
- Space - the empty or open area between, around, above, below and within objects.
- Value – lightness or darkness of a color
• Principles of Design
- Emphasis – something that stands out/ Arranged to create focal points or areas that are seen before other
- Balance (symmetry-same on both sides & asymmetry- arranging unlike or different)
- Pattern – repeated elements of art
- Movement- a way of combining elements of art to produce the look of action or to cause the viewer’s eye to travel over the artwork in a certain way.
- Rhythm- repetition of a particular element(s) that suggests a motion by patterns of recurrent elements.
- Contrast – stresses the difference or “unlikeness” of elements compared; closely related to emphasis.
- Variety- creates complexity and interest through changing, contrasting, diversifying, or opposing elements in a composition
- Unity - togetherness
• Color Scheme
- Monochromatic-“Having only one color” and refers to the complete range of that color from black to white.
- Complementary - color that are directly opposite on the color wheel. When mixed together, they make a neutral gray or brown.
- Analogous/related - another name for related color. Color that appear next to each other on the color wheel.
- Cool color – the hues of blue, green, and purple.
- Warm color - the hues of yellow, red and orange
• Other
- Composition - the ways elements of art (lines and shapes) are positioned within the edges of the paper.
- Tint – a color that has white added to it.
- Shade – a color that has black added to it.
- still-life - An arrangement or composition of inanimate objects such as fruit, flowers and bottles or tools, used by the artist as subject matter for a work of art
- Op Art - false visual perception
- Abstract Art - It is an art in which shapes, form and colors have been extracted and distorted from the design of nature
- Design - An ordered aesthetic arrangement or organization of one or more of the elements of art
- Gradation - Shading that show a smooth change from dark to light.
- Thumbnails – small sketches before final product
- Critique – a review of someone’s work

1. Description
2. Analysis
3. Interpretation
4. Judgment/Evaluation
1. Description
- Describe the visual and literal qualities of the work including: subject matter, media, and elements of art.
- What is it? What do you see?
2. Analysis
-Analyze the formal and organizational qualities of the work including: how does the artist visually organized the composition?
-What are the principles of design?
3. Interpretation
-Interpret what the artist is trying to communicate. Why did the artist make the choices he/she did about the material, composition, subject matter, etc.?
-What is he/she trying to express visually? What is the meaning?
4. Judgment/Evaluation
From the examples on the screen, pick a master’s artwork that’s similar to the style of your own artwork.
- How does this artwork compare with other works?
-Is the artist successful with their message?
-Is the work of good quality?
-Does it appeal to or interest you? Why?

1. Go to www.takepart.com and find an article that you would like to research on.
2. Find 5 different images that are related to your topic from the internet and print them out. Copy and paste the images on WordDoc.
* You need to print out the same image TWICE (one for the rouch draft and one for final)
