Full Speed Ahead - Week 2 Art

6th Graders FISK & Hampton Artists and Geography Experts!

This license plate is TOO BORING…it needs the 6th Graders

STUDY FOR THE STATES QUIZZES…YOU MUST KNOW THE STATES.  Use the online quizzes in earlier posts in this blog for help.

License plates project criteria must have:

- Line variations in your text design (length, width, texture, degree of curve, directional)

- between 5-7 letters/numbers/characters

- the name of the state somewhere on the license plate

- two drawings that are related to things to do in that state (you have done the research in class or at home over the break!)

- The real state motto (you must look that up)

AFTER WE DESIGN THE PLATES, WE ARE GOING TO DESIGN OUR ITINERARY as if we are planning visits to the best attractions in these states!  Questions? Email jhillman@cpcpsschool.org

7th Grade FAMU & Howard

The Children's March Documentary

The video on The Children's March and the article on Emory Douglas was meant to inspire you to think deeply about the visual aspects of your Social Action Poster.  It must have text and imagery that matches theme of the issue you are working on.  The posters resume this week but HAVE YOUR IDEAS and don't fall behind with what you are expected to have for class.

8th Graders

Bring your ideas for your graphic novel this week.  You must have a story to tell, so bring yours this week.  We are getting the ideas together and working on panels, using the drawing techniques we have been working with.
Look at this link to start thinking about drawing facial expressions in comic form:  http://www.grimace-project.net.  Remember CONTOUR LINES and how to make them…lines.

5th Graders

Alexander Calder inspired wire sculptures begin this week.  You must have the completed 4 self-portraits in class this week.  Any missing work is due Monday.  Questions? Email Ms. Hillman: jhillman@cpcsschool.org.
