September 28 - October 2


Unit 2- Aesthetics
Current Project
: Surrealist Collage (click here for Rubric.)
Objectives: Create a surrealist collage using magazine images and mixed media with the following criteria:
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the Surrealist movement
  • Create a composition with visual movement
  • Create a 1 point perspective background that will add the element of space to the collage
  • Creatively and correctly use collage techniques

  • Monday: Last day to work on the still life drawing in class. Review for the Drawing Unit test will be passed out. Aesthetics Study Guide using your Art Talk book.
  • Tuesday: Review in class for the Drawing Unit test. View the Aesthetics Power Point and discuss the 4-step criticism.
  • Wednesday: Drawing Unit Test. Begin a person collage. You can use only three normal human body parts and the rest must be anything "unhuman." This mini-lab assignment will be graded on how well you cut and create with collage, due on Monday, 10/5.
  • Thursday: Discuss next journal assignment- protest collage. Work on Studying an Art History Movement guide using your Art Talk book.
  • Friday: Work on study guides, collage human, and Protest Journal assignment.

VVJ assignment: Protest! Find a cause and make a statement. You will need to make a thumbnail drawing before beginning the collage. You can protest something serious, or silly - from the war in Iraq to not wearing the color blue, but make a stand! You will use a double-page spread. There must be a background - either in tissue paper or paint. You MUST use collage elements. There MUST be a creative title followed by a brief description of your protest. Due Tuesday, October 13th.
