Extra Credit: Tracing Zine

You can earn extra credit with this project.

Guidelines
Final zine must be
1. in INK or photocopy INK
2. two 8.5x11 sheets folded in half vertically
3. have 8 distinct compositions
4. each composition must show either an ILLUSION OF SPACE or MOTION
5. each composition must be composed of DIFFERENT forms traced from other sources (magazines, books etc.)
6. write the name of the Principle of Design you are employing [Illusion of Space, Perspective, and or Motion]
7. you can photocopy your final zine but it must be a photocopy of the above, in ink!

Read the pages covering Illusion of Space [including Perspective] and Motion from the textbook [this is not required reading, but part of the extra credit assignment]

See the example above
MAKE several copies if you want to include them in our show at Legare's
DUE Week 10, Thursday March 11th

Update: Rough Draft due Week 9

A rough draft of your term project will be due Tuesday, March 2nd

Week 7: In-class color exercise

Here are some of the color harmonies from the textbook we manifested by standing near each other.

we can see:
monochromatic color harmony
analogous color harmony
triadic color harmony
and split complimentary color harmony

But which is which? It may be time to review the color chapter!

Week 7

Using the Hue, Saturation, Intensity, Tints, and Shades of the colors around you, create compositions with your CAMERA that illustrate:

Monochromatic color harmony
Analogous color harmony
Complementary color harmony
Split Complimentary color harmony
Triadic Color Harmony
Color Disharmony
Color as Emphasis
The Biezold Effect / Simultaneous

You should create these color relationships by creating compositions out of the objects around you, but you may also "find" these relationships with your camera, but they should be your compositions, NOT other peoples' design!

Remember, your compositions should be balanced and show an awareness of design principles.

Turn in one photograph print (any size at least 4x3) for each of the design concepts above.

I'll be showing examples in class. Email other students if you missed it!

Due 2/23

Where you should be Week 7

You should start your sketching for the term project this week. Spend at least an hour thinking and opening what your project might look like using the thumbnail sketching process. Remember not to hold your ideas back, let them flow and interpret them later!

Do this in parallel with whatever other homework I've given you. Hello multitasking! :)

Week 6-7

Finish the chapter on color
Launching the Imagination, 2-d: The Element of Color, pp. 55-63

be ready to discuss Thursday 2/18

Week 5

Launching the Imagination, 2-d: The Element of Color, pp. 38-54

Be ready to discuss these sections on 2/11

Here it is:

Using the elements of design – Line, Shape, Value, Texture, Color – successfully employ at least three of the design principles below:

Unity and Variety
Balance
Emphasis
Contrast
Scale and Proportion
Rhythm

The subject of your composition (what you are trying to explore, respond to, or illustrate) will be provided to you individually at Legare's cafe/community center, by Johathan Legare [the guy behind the counter].

Legare's is located near SE 16th and Clinton
1532 SE Clinton St
Portland, OR 97202

[if you are unable to go to Legare's contact me immediately for your alternate subject]

Medium:
Ink, and/or Pencil, Collage, Paint.

Size:
9x12"

Mounted:
on bristol board
above centered

Positive/Negative Design Project

Using Repetition, Proximity, Weight, Gravity, Balance, Scale, create four designs exploring each of the words below (four designers per concept, 16 compositions in all):

Emphasis
Sequence
Movement
Static

Due Thursday 2/11

Design Problem:
considering the above, create an interesting and dynamic composition that use black construction paper to fill 50% negative space. Cut the paper into 4x1 strips. You can not cut your strips more than 12 times (parts should show the original dimensions).

Your areas should be 4-up and above center, equally spaced. Paper should be glued onto bristol.

Use the sketching process!
