studio art 2
3 MAIN STARTING PROMPTS
1. MEDIA & TECHNIQUES - What media do you like? What medium do you want to get better at? What medium would you like to try using? Is there a particular technique or style that you want to explore? Is there a subject you would like to get better at?
Examples:
Something New: I've never tried oil pastels before... let's do this!
Developing Craft (Media): I like painting with acrylics, but I haven't had much experience and want to get better at it. I'm going to look up some tutorials and then make a painting using what I learned.
Style: I really like the movement/texture of the paint in Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night, so I'd like to find out a little more about it and create a painting similar to his style of work.
Developing Craft (Subject): I really want to get better at drawing and painting realistic portraits. I'm going to look up a few tutorials and then create some portraits using what I learned.
2. SUBJECTS - What do you like? What are your interests? What is really important to you?
Examples:
Interests and Hobbies: My favorite animal is a horse because I like horseback riding, and I also really like to play baseball. I'm going to make a piece about a horse playing baseball, and his name will be Fred.
Important Figures: My mom is really important to me, and one of her favorite things to do is read, so I'd like to paint a picture of her sitting in her chair and reading her favorite book.
3. CONCEPTS & BIG IDEAS - What big ideas or issues would you like to explore? What important message or story do you want to communicate to your viewers? What do you want to express or make clear to your viewers?
Examples:
Phenomena and Connections: I want to explore the repetition of mathematical equations in nature because I think it's fascinating and mysterious, and it also connects my art with my interest in science.
Identity (See more ideas below): As a member of the LGBTQ community, I want to explore my personal identity and how it is perceived by those around me.
Personal Experience, Life Lessons: After the passing of a close family member, I started noticing the little things, like how the light moved through the leaves on the trees and made shadows on the ground. I learned to never take one moment or detail for granted.
Current Issues: In response to all the division and prejudice we've seen in our country, I want to show my viewers that we need to accept each others' differences and work together in order to be successful and move forward.
Try any combination of these things!
Example: A satirical political cartoon (Concept) with baby pandas as the main characters (Subject) while practicing with watercolor and pen on paper (Media).
Mind Mapping / Identity
Who Am I? Brainstorming Worksheet
Much of our creative work stems from our own interests and experiences. Try creating an Identity Map (examples below) to explore your personal identity and how it might be incorporated into your work.

Sketchbook Examples
What do you feel like drawing?
Sketchbooks: Loosen Up!
Prepare your sketchbook pages in a variety of creative ways, like painting watercolor or ink washes on the pages, collaging, writing, cutting holes in some of the pages, creating patterns. Alter the pages before you begin any sketchbook assignments/observational drawing... this is a way to take ownership of your sketchbook as a process oriented tool for thumb-nailing, drawing, doodling, writing, documenting, etc. It challenges you to use their time wisely, be creative, and use good craftsmanship. It removes the white pages from the book and allows you to be more expressive with the drawings on the pages. It also makes the sketchbook less intimidating and shows that every page does not need to be perfect; it is more about learning and exploration.

Shoes
Corner of a room in your house
Create an arrangement of objects, use a lamp or other light to make dramatic shadows,
Your pet
Creative views of your car, bicycle, skateboard, etc.
Make the image reach all the way to the edges of the page. Demonstrate what you know about point of view, emphasis, composition, positive and negative space, etc.
Draw your eye twice in two very different ways, both from direct observation.
TWO DRAWINGS, DIFFERENT APPROACHES, DIFFERENT PAGES
Make a DETAILED drawing of your eye and the area around it. Include everything you see when observing closely in clear, even lighting.
For the second drawing, make a drawing in HARSH lighting, showing the shapes of the shadows only. SUMMARIZE, don’t itemize. This drawing will not contain detail, but will accurately represent the shapes of light and shadow on and around your eye area.
Draw a portrait using light and shadow. In order to achieve strong gradations and a sense of form, place a light from different angles than normal. These can be under the chin, behind the head or from the top. This can be in graphite pencil or colored pencil.
Study your feet and shoes. Create a strong thick and thin contour drawing of your shoes drawing from different angles. Include more than one drawing on the same page over lapping and filling the format. Pen or pencil.
Draw a place around the outside of your home. This can be a plant, part of the building or objects on the porch. Use ink and watercolor to create a strong contrast between the color and the ink. Crosshatching as a style is suggested but not required.
Draw bottles and cans. Have them crunched up for details in the reflections and folds of the metal. Include lots of detail and only show a small area instead of the whole can or cans. If it is a bottle, find an area that shows off the reflections and surface quality of the bottle.
Create a series of positive and negative space designs. On your desk at home stack a few objects into a pile. With a light shining from the back look at the space that is white (light) and draw the shapes as a contour line shape. Use black paint or ink to fill in the spaces as a flat shape. The silhouette of the object should still be seen but new shapes created.
Draw a piece of furniture in your house. This can be in color or black and white. Sit in an area and observe the lines and shapes of the piece. Create a format around your observed area and look for textures, gradations, wood grain or interesting shapes and make a detailed study.
Pop some popcorn. Take a few kernels and look at the shapes and shades created. With pencil and smudge shading, study a few of the kernels and fill the page with them. This drawing should show a good sense of drawing skill and soft grays with a Tortillons or some blending device.
Draw yourself using a strong light source on one side of your face. Use a mirror and try to have some expression. Focus on the strong shadows created by the light. Use pastel for blocking in large areas with a lesser amount of detail.
Divide the page into three areas with a ruler. Create a very involved contour drawing with pen of a small object of your choice and put it in one of the areas going outside the shape. Next, in another area, draw the same object with pencil using good shading and proper proportion. For the last area, distort or abstract (like in cubism) the same object using three values or colors.
Draw a chess set set-up and partially played - do the same with other board games- use your favorite game from childhood.
Landscapes with and without man-made structures.
Draw buildings and man-made structures with character- bridges- the interior of old churches or old theaters.
Fill bottles with colored water and use in a still-life.
Fill plastic bags with objects and draw - draw bags of candy or marshmallows.
Play the Password Game. Divide the class into groups of five or six. Use one painting each group comes up with five descriptive words from the same work of art. The students share their words with the class and everyone must then take all the words and write a piece of poetry. The poetry must use all the words, words that are repeated must be used as often as they are repeated. Students then illustrate their poetry.
Draw small architectural, mechanical things tiny may be very small drawings only 3 or 4 inches
Contour drawings of insects like a bug collection... (or dead flies off the window sill)
Botanical drawings especially pine or spruce twigs w/pinecones.
Wash drawings from real life
Wash drawings taken from paintings, esp. of groups of people
Use a slinky or tubes to demonstrate circles and ellipses in perspective
Five views of the same object or objects.
Rather than just drawing hands, draw the same hand rotating and changing with each view...
Draw the face, at least twice, summarizing it into shapes of shadows and light. You may draw from a HIGH CONTRAST photos, or from direct observation, harshly lit. DO NOT use any magazine photos of models, which are meant mainly to showcase makeup. Observe and record how the shadows connect features. Media: Your choice of Graphite Sticks, Oil Pastels, Charcoal, or any media you feel will give you the high contrast you are seeking. At least 2 faces. If it is your own, you can just change pose or lighting.
Creativity/Originality/Illustration
Draw yourself as an original superhero.

Draw the most incredible game of hide-and-seek you can imagine.
Create a new sport. You can improve an existing sport, combine two existing sports, or come up with something completely new.
Over 2 pages show the gradual transformation of a pair of scissors into another object- example: scissors into a shark- DON'T USE THIS EXAMPLE. Details are needed in the drawing- color is optional.
Choose an enclosed space- a kitchen cabinet, a television, an oven, a refrigerator, in a drawer or closet. What human qualities do the objects in the enclosed space assume when no one is watching? Do the mustard bottles dance? Do the socks play cards? This can be one page with details…be sure and show the interior of the space as well as the objects.
What happens when a 6-foot tall squirrel shows up in your yard?
Illustrate a dream you have had using only 5 symbols (single images that communicate ideas) This may take one or two pages. You may use color or black and white to complete the image. Consider what you know about composition, emphasis, etc. as you build the images.
Practice drawing from your imagination by drawing from the following list:
What would you see if you grew wings and flew over our town?
What if your big toe became its own person?
What if you suddenly became very very small?
Draw or design a vehicle. This can be a car, spaceship, airplane, boat, motorcycle, bicycle or anything you want. Include details and make it big! Any media
What does the holiday season really mean to you? Your image can be abstract or realistic; you may choose the media. AVOID common images- meaning if you choose to show holiday gifts- SHOW THEM IN A CREATIVE WAY!
Where is Waldo? Students take one sketchbook page and fill it in with miniature drawings of everything that relates them and their lives… gum, braces, football jersey, soccer and footballs… etc and endless… the page must be filled, no blank space and all items are reduced to the same or nearly same size.

Magazines & Found Images
Choose a portion of a magazine or newspaper picture. Glue that picture on a page in your sketchbook. Create a drawing that incorporates that picture into a story. You may use more than one magazine or newspaper image BUT the artwork should be made mainly from your added drawings. This artwork should span 2 pages. You may use color or shading. OR you could use a color scheme (monochromatic, etc.)
Create an image using only found images (from magazines, newspapers, worksheets, etc.) The image should communicate a message or tell a story.
Appropriate an image from magazine/newspaper/web-image that illustrates/demonstrates an unusual point of view of common objects, space/place, architecture, or group of things/people, other.
Create a design using elements from magazine or newspaper images. Cut and paste the images onto the page in your sketchbook to create the design.

Georgia O’Keeffe
Vincent Van Gogh
Frida Kahlo
Claude Monet
Jackson Pollock
Using color (Cray-Pas) create an Impressionist Landscape drawing. Use Van Gogh, Manet, Seurat, Pissaro, Sisley, or Cezanne as your guide. Use the internet and look up these artists to observe their work. Find a landscape on the net as well and draw it as an Impressionist.
Identity
Identify an object that relates to your identity. Create an artwork that uses the image of that object (or the actual object) as the SINGLE FOCUS of the artwork. Open media.
Fill in the blank… "I am a _________ in this world." Use the text of the completed sentence to inform the artwork. Open Media. This should be a 2 page spread
Answer these questions with an image:
At age six I was ________
At age twelve I was _______
Now I am ________
At age 25 I will be ______
At age 75 I will be ______
Arrange these images in a composition that communicates your identity. Open media. Should span at least 4 pages in some order that communicates the answers to the questions.
Exploration of Materials/Media
Draw on white Mat board, cover with several layers of gloss medium, cover this with oil paint- release the drawn image, the paint and the medium.
Tape a pencil or marker to a yardstick or long dowel; use this to draw on papers attached to a large wall.
Draw on objects or surfaces not usually used to draw on... these may be primed with tempera paint.
Stain plaster with tea, coffee or other natural materials... let "dirty" snow balls melt on drawing papers... draw or 2D over the dried color
Use a small picture frame, 8 x 10" (20 x 25.5 cm) or 10 x 14" (25.5 x 35.5 cm), stretch dampened paper by gluing the edges with Elmer's Glue; it will shrink and tighten when dried. Use this as a drawing or 2D design surface. The surface is "soft" and will not allow much pressure and for sure no erasing!
Draw on Mylar over an art history print with graphite to show the shapes, then another sheet of Mylar the directional lines, then the 3-5 local colors, and shading values
Take a page from the notebook for another class and draw over the notes
Every night for I week draw the same object in a different media on neutral ground paper
Stretch an old pair of jeans or flannel shirt. Prime with tempera if necessary, use this as a drawing surface for chunk charcoal or graphite sticks.
Use oil pastels to enhance enlarged line drawing. Select among the following color relationships to be a guide to using color for expression and emphasis.
Warm hues with cool accents
Cool hues with warm accents
Monochromatic
Complimentary
Analogous
2. Another good idea is to print out a variety of sketchbook assignments on address labels and give them to the students. I have printed 30 different assignments on one page of sticker labels and printed one (each student receives the same problems) for each student, there is some initial cost for the labels but you will not have to give out another assignment sheet for the rest of the year. I created open ideas that instill good observational, creative, and compositional skills. Give each student the same printed page and they can chose what problem to tackle for their sketchbook for the week and stick the one they selected to the back of the page, or you can have them stick them to the prepared pages and they would be forced to move through the sketchbook in an unordered way. This gives the student options and allows them ownership in what they draw each week depending on their mood... but also keeps them focused on the skills they need to work on during the year. I have them staple the label page to the back of their sketchbook so that they do not lose it. I saw this idea and loved it and decided to adapt it to my art 2 and 3 classes and what kid does not like stickers?....even high school kids have a fascination. See list of ideas:

Make your own sketchbook!
1. Once I hand out Sketchbooks (or have students bring or make them) I have the students prepare the pages in a variety of creative ways, like paint washes on the pages, collaging, writing, cutting holes in some of the pages, creating patterns. This is just to alter the pages before we begin any sketchbook assignments/observational drawing... I know some people alter books and that is a great way also but I like the idea of the kids taking ownership of their sketchbook as a process oriented tool for thumbnailing, drawing, doodling, writing, documenting, etc. It is a good first day activity especially if you give them a list that is open to interpretation, this challenges them to use their time wisely, be creative, use good craftsmanship, and follow directions. It is also a no pressure assignment that allows the kids to get to know each other. What I like about this is that it removes the white pages from the book and allows students to be more expressive with the drawings on the pages. It also make the sketchbook less intimidating and helps students to understand that every page does not need to be perfect and is more about learning and exploration. We look the sketchbooks of Wayne Jiang at http://www.waynejiang.com/sketchbooks

Drawing II Honors and Drawing/Design III Pre-AP
First Day Activity
Sketchbook Surface Prep
Sketchbooks are an amazing opportunity to draw, visualize, write, thumbnail, or fill countless hours doodling and relaxing. Part of the problem with sketchbooks is that artists see them as the enemy. They are white pages that command a perfect image. Consider using your sketchbook as an extension of your personality as well as continuing to improve your artistic skills. Remember your sketchbook is a tool to better yourself and not viewed solely as a grade.
Directions: Using the list below prepare pages in your sketchbook using your own individual flare. You will be graded on the completed steps, your inventiveness, and craftsmanship. Each page can now be "used" and hopefully the white page syndrome of the sketchbook will fall by the wayside. Remember you are not creating finished works, but creating interesting surfaces to draw onto later. "used" and hopefully the white page syndrome of the sketchbook will fall by the wayside. Remember you are not creating finished works, but creating interesting surfaces to draw onto later.
Create a two color wash on the page.
Collage text on the page and wash over the page to subdue the texture.
Scribble on the page with pencil; blend with a paper towel to create a value.
Create a one color wash on the page.
Cut squares in the page.
Draw a childlike drawing on the page and paint over it.
Create a repetitive pattern on the page using a geometric shape.
Find a simple object and cover the page with simple contour drawings of it.
Using muted colors paint a page.
Create a texture on the page with paint by lifting paint with a towel.
Create a negative space painting with a wash.
Cover the page with writing about your first day and summer.
Collage random pieces on the page.
Cut strips of colored paper and glue to the surface.
Doodle on the page with a pen.
Trade books and have another student treat the surface of a page
Tear a page out and re-collage onto another page.
Find a leaf outside. Represent the leaf in some way on the page.
Other media exploration.
Prep 5 other pages any way that you would like.
Remember that the pages should not be overwhelming. Be neat, use good craftsmanship, and beware of pages sticking together.
FINALLY...
A sketchbook is a journey, not a destination!!!
