Doodle Project
Divide your paper into eight sections. Fill each section with a different doodle/pattern. See below for examples.
Instructions for Doodle Project:
Once you have transferred your traced silhouette/outline onto the the background (made up of geometric shapes), you can begin filling in the areas created by the overlapping shapes and silhouette with doodles. Areas that do not have a shape or a silhouette will be left white. Areas that fall within the silhouette should be filled in with a darker doodle. Areas that are part of the geometric shapes we drew will be filled in with lighter doodles. See below for clarification.
Use your pencil lightly! We will be going over our designs with marker.

Doodle Project Benchmarks (10 pts total):
- You must fill every area of the silhouette and geometric shapes with a doodle pattern. (2 pts)
- You must use at least 10 different doodle patterns (you can repeat patterns, but you can not have the same pattern next to each other). (2 pts)
- Doodle patterns must be a combination of lines and shapes. (1 pt)
- The doodles must be done neatly (no scribbling). (3 pts)
- You must show a difference between the silhouette and the background shapes using value (silhouette is darker, background shapes lighter). (2 pts)
Molly Bang Project
You will create a piece of artwork about a fear you have, or about a time you were scared. You will use simple shapes cut and collaged from paper to create this artwork. You may only use two colors of paper, plus one accent color, and black and white.
1. Complete worksheets to generate ideas for the project. 2. Choose and idea, and do four rough sketches - USING SIMPLE SHAPES - to get some ideas about how to layout your composition. 3. Choose one and draw it larger - again, USE SIMPLE SHAPES. Use colored pencils to plan which shapes will be what color. 4. Get your colored paper: 2 colors , plus 1 accent color, plus black and white. 5. Choose one to be your background color (sky, wall, whatever shape is the largest, or whatever shape is behind all other shapes). 6. Use your drawing to trace shapes onto colored paper. 7. Cut out shapes and collage onto paper. |

Tessellations
Tessellations are groups of geometric shapes that can be repeated in a pattern without overlaps or gaps. The simplest tessellation that you might be familiar with is a checkerboard. M.C. Escher was an illustrator and graphic artist, and a master of tessellation.
We will be making our own tessellations. Click on the download button below for a step by step tutorial.
|
Final Steps:
Once you have completed your final tessellation tile, trace it onto a new sheet of white paper. Keep tracing until you fill the page.
Once you have filled the page, color in each part of the drawings, going light to dark, as shown (like we did with the value scales). Each tile should be colored in the same manner. |
Tessellation Benchmarks (10 pts)
- tiles fit with no gaps or overlaps (2 pts)
- page is filled with tessellation (1 pts)
- each tile is colored light to dark (2 pts)
- tiles are colored similarly, or alternate (1 pts)
- tessellation design has details (1 pts)
- no pencil showing (1 pts)
- good craftsmanship (neatly colored) (2 pts)
Day of the Dead / Los Dias de los Muertos
For the presentation we viewed on Wednesday, click below (it will help you think about how to design your stained glass window)
|
Our next project will be inspired by traditional Day of the Dead artwork.
*Note: this is NOT about the zombie movie. On the top of page 12 in your sketchbook, write "Day of the Dead" Answer the following question:
Next, use the internet to do some research and answer the following questions in your sketchbook (write both the numbers, the questions, and your answers):

Directions:
Day of the Dead "Stained Glass" Windows
Day of the Dead "Stained Glass" Windows
You will be designing a Day of the Dead themed "stained glass" window. Remember, you will be cutting your design out of paper, much like a stencil, or papel picado. Simple line drawings wont work. Think about drawing with shapes instead. Remember islands and bridges!
Your design must include a name of someone who is deceased, and have some traditional Day of the Dead imagery, such as flowers, candles, sugar skulls and calacas (skeletons).
Below are examples of letters, skeletons, flowers, and candles that work as stencils. You can use them for reference if you are stuck. Please feel free to create your own designs too!

Below are examples of letters, skeletons, flowers, and candles that work as stencils. You can use them for reference if you are stuck. Please feel free to create your own designs too!
Step 1:
Draw 4 different sketches, showing ideas for your stained glass window design. Remember, your design needs to be Day of the Dead themed, and must include the name of a person (or pet, etc.) who passed away. Don't worry about making in work as a stencil, and don't worry about having a background... at least, not yet! |
Exacto Knife Rules and Guidelines:
When cutting:
- NO dangerous behavior- no goofing around, horse play, waving the exacto knife around, etc.
- NO joking threats of using the exacto knife on you or someone else.
- NO real threats of using the knife against you or someone else.
- Use the exacto on your project ONLY.
- Any of these behaviors results in loss of privilege to use exactos, a detention, and a referral to the Student Resource Center.
When cutting:
- ID's are traded for exactos. No ID, no exacto knife.
- Always use a cutting mat.
- Hold the exacto the same way you would hold a pencil.
- Always move the blade in the direction the sharp side is facing. Think of pulling down, rather than pushing up.
- Rotate the paper, not the blade.
- Use a medium amount of pressure.
- Cut in one smooth motion.
- Keep your other hand out of the way.
When you are finished cutting...
Step 6:
CAREFULLY remove staples and white paper.
Step 7:
Open up black paper. Choose tissue paper colors.

Step 7:

Step 11:
Glue the black paper closed-- carefully rub glue on side without tissue paper. |
Step 10:
Place newspaper underneath your project. Glue in tissue paper ONE PIECE AT A TIME. Place glue on the black paper, NOT the tissue paper. DO NOT glue on the desk, make sure there is newspaper underneath your project! Occasionally lift your project up so it doesnt get glued to the newspaper. NOTE:

Ribbon Letters
Ribbon Letter Benchmarks (5pts)
|
We will do a drawing of a word, made to look like it was written out of a ribbon. This drawing will combine a some of what we know about line and shading, in addition to get us thinking about perspective.
Step 1:
Write your name (first and last) in cursive. Fill the page! Step 2:
Draw parallel lines going back in space. They should be the same length and go in the same direction. Step 3:
Connect the lines with new lines, that are parallel to the letter. Follow the shape of the letter closely. Step 4:
Shade! Dark to light to dark, or dark to light. Make sure you leave some white. |
