ArTechTivity (TM)

In the second week of September we learned about Animals in Art. Using our textbook, a slideshow of examples and class discussion we prepared ourselves to create some animal art.

• We learned how artists have been using animals as subjects since the early cave paintings.
• We discussed how artists can show MOOD in a piece of art. Some of the examples included humor, anticipation, dreamy, playful and sad.
• We learned how artists will use EMPHASIS in a painting to make one part more important than other parts. They can use LINE, COLOR or SHAPE to draw your eye to the important part.

First: Take creative and quality pictures of the following items:

1. CLOSE-up of Yellow flower pollen
2. CLOSE-up of a 3 leaf clover
3. CLOSE-up of a bug
4. Colorful SKY
5. 3 colors in a plant/tree
6. the color orange
7. someone in motion (jump, run, riding a bike etc)
8. BONUS (from home) neighborhood or family pet

Then: Resize, enhance, crop rename and resave all your good photos and delete the bad ones.

Finally: put them together in a photo collage using photoshop. Include one of each scavenger hunt item and a title using text. Save it as a JPEG before turning in.

Turn into MOODLE with the proper naming sequence! ex: y8t3p1SH_sam.jpg
