1. Course Expectations

1. Generally, I start by teaching "Bob-Ross" style how to use a material or technique, and then you try it. After you have the hang of it, you get a lot of freedom to do it your way! I hope to teach you simple tricks and tips that will help you to draw/paint more realistically and confidentially! But remember, you are graded on your improvement, effort, resilience, and attitude not on your innate ability.

Announcements

Upside down drawing finals.

Please conference with me when you are done drawing your figure and BEFORE you add background or any other media :)

If you finish early, you can work on a logo/sign for NAHS!

# data[].attributes.body
How to Get Started:

1. Research: Screenshot at least 5 linocuts that you like. You can search instagram, tiktok, pinterest, etc. Be sure that the artists name/handle is visible. They do NOT need to be artworks you want to replicate... just art you honestly really like!

2. Resources: Start gathering image resources to create a great drawing. (A great print starts with a great drawing). Put those resources into a Google Doc and email them to me: bookers@nostoschools.org

3. Thumbnails: While drawing from resources, create at least 2 different thumbnail sketches for your idea. Show them to your peers.

4. Draft: Choose your favorite/best to turn into a detailed draft. Be sure your draft is the exact size of the printing block you will be using.

5. Critique: Show your draft to your peers. Give and take feedback. This is your last chance to make important changes.

6. Transfer: We will then transfer the image to your block. We will stain it with India ink, you will mark which areas to carve (with "x" for example), and you will get carving!

** REMINDER that everything prints backwards. If you have lettering, you need to be sure to flip your drawing before you transfer it. I will show you how to do this, do not worry!**

# data[].attributes.body
You *must* use resources when you're drawing. They can be the ones I provide or YOUR OWN!

You should focus on detail. If you are "done" drawing before the end of the allotted time, please add texture, background, clothes, scales, feathers, etc.

After you receive your exquisite corpse back, you can edit it to your liking. You may also choose to transfer it to final paper if you'd like :)

*10 Extra Points to anyone who writes a story about their character*

# data[].attributes.body
Steps:

1. Mind Map: Create your own mind map around your idea

2. Planning: Create at least two thumbnail sketches for each idea. Make sure your compositions are balanced. Share your ideas with your peers! FEED FORWARD!

3. Resources: Have resources out at all times -- your sketches are great but do not count as resources :)

4. Draft: Start experimenting and making a first draft! When you get stuck, ask for help from peers and your teacher!

Annoucements

Review what we learned last class (drawing accurately tips and tricks)

Begin drawing upside down

When you feel you're gotten the hang of it, do a few thumbnails of what you want your final to look like! What media? What background?

Let me know when you're ready for final paper!

# data[].attributes.body
1. Get set up for watercolor. Play with the paints for a few minutes.

2. Watch and paint along with "Watercolor Tips and Tricks" on GC.

3. Paint avocado without help.

4. Paint avocado Bob Ross Style with me! Recording is in GC under "Watercolor."

5. Paint from one of the other "Watercolor Image Resources" on GC. There's an apple, beet, peach, etc.

6. PLEASE repeat step 4 if you're asked to or want more practice. We should focus on color matching (I'll show you a great trick with an index card!)

Once you're completed with all four of the above, you can start working on a watercolor painting of your own choice! Still, I recommend fruit, veggies, flowers, food, candy, desserts, etc (things from the natural world).

A general rule is: A compliment AND suggestion :) Here are some thing you can give compliments and suggestions on:

1. Composition: Are the objects in the picture plane balanced with each other? Is there a focal point? Does the character make sense in its setting? Can you tell which compositional strategy the artist is using?
2. Negative/Positive Space:  Is there too much/not enough negative (empty) space? Is there a good balance? What can you suggest that the artist do to address the empty/negative space?
3. Accuracy: Is the drawing accurate? Are there any obvious flaws that the artist shoudl address? What do you notice that should be fixed? Give them a suggestion.
4. Craftsmanship: Is the artwork neat? Does it need to be cleaned up? Give a suggestion for where/how they can "clean up" their work.
5. Values: Are there a range of values (darks and lights or color blends) or could the artist use more dark darks and light lights or more blends? Let the artist know.
5. Color: Does the artist use color well? How could s/he improve? Give a suggestion.
6. Meaning: Can you infer the meaning or story of the piece from the images or is something getting lost? Does the artist need to clarify their message? How can s/he do that?
