Proposed Projects for the class of 2016:

The following projects and exercises are a pool of potential subjects/topics that we will explore during the semester.  We will get to as many as time allows and some may be altered, eliminated or expanded upon. It is most important that we grasp each artistic concept and develop projects with thoughtfulness and quality craftsmanship. The Digital Portfolio will host all of our projects and should exhibit well photographed images of the work in an organized fashion, supported by written descriptions of the project objectives. Once the project is properly posted to your site, the work will be graded.

The Header

Picture
Designing a visually intriguing professional portfolio. It is time to move beyond existing templates and clipart and into imaginative and novel design. 

Selfie-portrait

Picture

We will create two self portraits; one will be shaded with pencil, the other will be simplified using only line drawing.

Genre Portraits

Picture
Use a genre of art to embellish the portrait and imbibe with a specific artistic aesthetic. Each portrait should visually convey the features of a genre or artist of that genre.

Rococo: Ornate, decorative, fun, rich

About Us

Picture
Merge a photograph of yourself with that of someone you admire in the form of a collage. Then proceed to reproduce it as an acrylic painting on wood panel. 

Pimp Your Pants

Picture
Essential question:
How can I make this project culturally, artistically and academically significant?

Instituto Thomas Jefferson has asked my class to participate in their annual design/fashion show. They parade their customized blue-jean creations down a runway before an audience and jury. We will have our own pre-juried exhibit at HTHI to decide what 3 designs will travel to Mexico City as representative of the USA and HTHI.

Curious Objects

Picture
Make sculptural work that is non-representational and well crafted. An art object that resembles something that it’s not.




Picture
Atmospheric Perspective
Atmospheric perspective – also called aerial perspective – is the effect you get when far away objects take on the colors of atmospheric haze.

Chicken wire and paper sculpture lamp

Picture

*(Project under construction !!!)


With chicken wire and white paper, we will construct sculptural lamps. The theme is not yet determined.





Derivative Characters

Picture
Essential Question:
Can you create a character that transcends the original and can stand on its own as a new original?


Picture
Get up, stand up...

*(Project under construction !!!)


Create an illustration to accompany a research paper about a current controversial (election?) issue
learn a little bit about how the gov’t (congress specifically) works by looking at historical propaganda and media.

propaganda poster
info-graphic
Political cartoon 

facebook posting


Video Haiku

Picture
Bee Love by jeremy farson
A Haiku is a Japanese 3 line poem using 5-7-5 syllables respectively. This video project will visually illustrate our Haiku. The next step is to narrate the poem on the video editor, then import the scenes and edit to produce a video that creatively illustrates your Haiku. 

Infographic Project

Picture
Infographics are graphic visual representations of information intended to present complex information quickly and clearly. 

Essential question:
Can you create a visual illustration that accurately represents your issue and could be considered a work of art? 

Restaging the Masters
Picture


Choose a famous work of art that you could restage from objects you gather from home. The objective is to transform the original into a derivative version of your own design by using alternative elements while keeping with the overall structure and character of the piece.

2084: Junk Puppet Theater


Produce an artsy, low-fi, junk puppet theatre video from a dystopian/utopian short story you've written and used as narration to guide a video based on an preliminary, research paper. In groups of 3 or 4 we will conceive, create, and capture an imaginative story based on a current, topical issue. Pre-production work consists of character development, storyboarding, stage craft and set design. The concept is to produce an art film that references the dystopian world of Orwell's "1984" constructed from common, recyclable household waste.
