TEXTURE

 

Texture is a fundamental quality of any surface and is one of the basic elements, along with the line, that makes up an image.

I have found this presentation in the Internet. Let´s have a look at it

TEXTURES

2º ESO working with Lines.

 

 

I have come across that amazing project in http://roshanda-thecreativespirit.blogspot.com.es/

I  thought I would try doing it with my 2º ESO art students.  what can be easier than tracing your hand? It also looks really cool when it is finished!

It´s a voluntary activity which will give you an extra point in your final mark

 

Step 1: Trace your hand lightly using a pencil. Do this step as lightly as possible because your original outline of your hand should not show when finished

Step 2: Using a thin black Sharpie marker, start adding your lines. Start at the bottom of the page where your arm is and draw a curved line on the arm and then straight lines for the background. I had my students start by using a pencil for the first four or five lines until they got the hang of it, then using the marker to add the rest.

Tips:

• Make sure your curved lines line up with the straight line in the background.
• Do not trace your outline with the black marker.
• Place your lines close together. If there is too much space between your lines it will not look like the hand is popping off the page.

 

Step 3: Continue adding lines and moving up the paper towards the top of the page. When doing the fingers I found it was easier to curve your lines in the opposite direction instead of trying to add straight lines there.

 Step 4: The most difficult part of this project is ending the fingers. I found it somewhat difficult to find a way to get back to straight lines at the top once you get past the finger tips. Try to flatten out your line as much as possible so it no longer matches the curve of the fingers.

.Step 5: Choose three colors, using a color scheme, and color between your black lines using colored pencils. I used a monochromatic color scheme for my example. I also gradated my colors to help the hand pop off the page. I finished by using a kneaded eraser to lift some of the color off the ridges of the fingers, hand, and arm.



We have just started to work with the line in 2º ESO.

I have found this interesting presentation in one of my favourite website.plastimoliner.blogspot.com.es  It´s in Spanish but I think It´s quite instructive

This week we have been working with images, creating monsters and strange people.We have seen women with dog bodies, men wearing high heels and with eyes of lions  and cows with wings!! Have a look to some of these projects! Celia and Lucía from 1st ESO C made them.

 

 

 

 

Next unit 1st ESO we are working with lines and dots.There are great ways we can use lines in Art. Have a look at this project. It´s doodling!

Why don´t you  have a try?
I will give you an extra point in the unit if you do it!

 

 

I have taken this project from this wonderful blog

 

  Start off by drawing a border around their paper  with a black marker

 

Then  start by filling the page with doodles: lines and patterns. You can have some objects, but It would be better  to keep it fairly abstract. No numbers or words or logos are accepted. Use a wide variety of lines: thick, thin, wavy, straight, etc.

Keep drawing until your page is filled. This can take about 3 hours maybe? Warning: have a large supply of black markers, because mine dried out SUPER fast .

 

Then, using a compass or plastic lids, Trace a circle (or two) somewhere onto your design where you want the focal point to be.

 

Then colour in the circle with markers
