The following list is the quarter's work. I do not always do things in a linear order. Please scroll to find the details that fit the current project. Thanks.
Self-portraiture: students will complete a self-portrait at the beginning of the quarter and again at the end of the quarter applying all the techniques they have learned.

Thread Art
Students will:
- explore fiber materials
- learn basic sewing skills- threading needle etc.
- explore math concept through art
- demonstrate proper use and clean-up of all art materials
Procedures:
- carefully place pattern on cardboard
- poke holes as precisely as possible
- choose thread and needle according to variables
- execute design
Materials:
samples, books, patterns, cardboard, push pins, needles, thread, scissors, tape
Evaluation:
successful completion of project

Project 2: Contour Drawing Applied
Objectives:
Does contour drawing
Vocab:
gradation, contrast, monochromatic, tint, value, shade, oil pastel
Supplemental Materials:
unfamiliar objects to students
Pencils
8.5x11 paper (4)
Oil pastels
11x14 paper
Ebony pencils
Procedures:
· discuss modified contour — can look at paper but stop pencil, continuous line, no erasing
· make 4 contour drawings of 4 different objects
· fill the paper, drawing should take up as much paper space as possible
· cover back of paper with Ebony
· trace 4 drawings on to larger paper creating interesting composition
· objects should go off the edge of the paper a little bit (do not overlap)
· demo gradation of oil pastel with tint/shade
· discuss contrast – how object must contrast with background (no outline)
· blend pastel without smearing
plan where gradations will be – where will it be light or dark, etc.
Evaluation: Individual evaluation of effort, craftsmanship and inclusion of all required elements.
Also, successful completion of assigned right brain activities.
