Tympanum Drawing
Consider the Romanesque and Gothic tympanum examples we have studied. Are they realistic? How is each balanced? 1. On a sheet of scrap paper or on a page in your sketchbook: list all the things you might see on a long walk in the country during a particular season of the year. Make at least 3 thumbnail/ practice sketches of the landscape. You may use reference pictures to keep images looking realistic or work more from your imagination. 2. on your paper, draw a half-round shape, like a tympanum. Cut out the shape. 3, Look at your rough sketches. Identify one item that you want to emphasize. Draw it at or near the center of your composition. 4. Add the other objects to your landscape, making sure they fir comfortable within the shape. 5. After your composition is the beat that it can be and has been approved, transfer the shape and drawing to good paper. 6. Render in pen using stippling, hatching and/or cross-hatching techniques to complete. 7. Use the "Examining Your Work" questions on p 347 as self-critique. |
Sharpie "Tie Dye"
Using solvent, we will stretch the qualities of permanent marker to create "tie dye" backgrounds. We will then add Christian symbols in black, without solvent, based on our study of Early Christian and Byzantine art.

Show Stopping Scratchboard
Art Materials:
1) Black scratchboards
2) Scratch knives and penholders
3) Watercolor sets
4) Animal pictures
5) Copier machine
Art Vocabulary:
Texture
Contrast
Sgrafitto (stippling, hatching and crosshatching)
Line
Color Layering
Activity:
Selecting a topic/Exploring the technique
The subject matter will focus on close-up extreme) views of an actual animal. Students will hone their research skills to find a particular animal from which to make their compositions most intriguing.
Students are encouraged to utilize photographs from magazines, books, photographs, and the Internet. Seek out images that possess high contrast, visible texture, and unusual compositions.
Once the animal picture is selected the copier machine should be used to enlarge the picture approx 200 percent. (The final enlargement may multiple sheets of 8" x 11" paper.) Students will tape the pieces together and cut away any underlying excess to facilitate the next step.
The single-layered photocopy is placed on top of the scratchboard and the major areas of the subject matter (eyes, dark and light areas, and identifying shapes) are traced with a ballpoint pen.
Heavy pressure is used to "dent" the scratchboard underneath, so students will be able to easily identify the areas to be scratched out.. An assortment of scratchknives are available to remove either large white areas or small textured are as such as fur and feathers. (Students may practice on small sized swatches to explore the techniques.)
As scratching proceeds, tap the boards to remove "scratch dust". The boards should not be rubbed clean as debris may become embedded in the lines.
Adding Color
Traditional scratchboard is left white, once scratching is completed. Watercolor will be added to create exciting colorful effects. Apply watercolor in very light, thin layers and gradually build them up. Eyes are the perfect example where the black areas must be removed to allow the
The results of this project will be amazingly realistic and impressive.

Positive/Negative Greek
Inspired Paper Cutting
Using Ancient Greek art as inspiration, create a unified composition, first as a line drawing, then as a cut paper project. Look only to Ancient Greek resources for your inspiration. Work with elements such as a central figure and borders to use the space well and attain the best composition.

Procedures:
- Determine
which parts will be cut away and which will be saved.
- Be
careful using exacto knife. Safety
first!
- Change
blades as needed for clean cuts
- Dominate
color is at your discretion.
- Pieces
should be paper-clipped together until gluing.
