Art 1, Weeks 6-7
Raider & Tattoo Grid Enlargement
Essential Standards: B.V.1.1 Use art vocabulary when discussing art and artistic styles.
B.V.2.1 Understand the role of planning in solving artistic problems.
Objective: Learn the grid enlargement technique by copying the Raider mascot and a tattoo design that
you will alter to make it your own artwork.
Monday
1.
Line Types Group Review: Form four groups and grab a pencil!
2.
Choose a blackline tattoo design from the internet to enlarge and change so you can claim it as yours.
The more shading and lines, the more complex it will be to draw. Your search should start with the
words 'tattoo design' and the image must be in black and white: no color is permitted, and no photos of
tattoos on people are permitted.
3.
Search for the image and then click on 'View Image' to open it up larger.
Email this image to your teacher at zazo@iss.k12.nc.us by the end of the day.
4.
Complete a Picture This worksheet by Wednesday at the beginning of class.
Tuesday
1. Bring out your Implied Lines artwork for grading.
2. Review how to read a ruler: http://cdnll.reallygoodstuff.com/images/xl/159165.jpg
You must be able to read the inches on a ruler to complete these projects.
3. Draw a gesture drawing of the Raider head on the screen. You have only one minute!
Next, draw a blind contour of it: don't look at your paper! Don't lift your pencil!
Discuss the calligraphic lines in the contour lines of the image.
4. On the Raider paper, draw a 1" grid and on the larger paper, draw a 2"grid. How do we do this?
5. Transfer the design onto the larger paper, box by box. You should have a larger Raider head in
accurate contours.
6. Trace the Raider head and all grid lines in a dark fine point Sharpie. Erase any pencil lines still showing.
7. Design a school spirit poster by finishing your Raider head and grid with inspiring messages and designs.
Think about your color scheme: do you want to stay with school colors? What will you write? See
previous student examples for ideas. This drawing is due tomorrow at the end of class.
Wednesday
1. Bring out your Picture This worksheet for grading.
2. Finish your Raider design. They are due at the end of class today.
3. If your tattoo design was approved, your teacher printed it out for you to use.
Draw a 1" grid on your design paper: the whole paper, not just the design.
On the larger paper, draw a 2" grid. Transfer the design onto the larger paper, box by box.
Thursday
1. Your line test is tomorrow. Please study your notes tonight.
2. Finish transferring your tattoo design in pencil. Think about how you will alter this design so you can claim
it as your own instead of plagiarizing it.
Friday
1. Line Test: please get out a pencil and clear your tables.
You may have the Ruler Game open on your browser: http://www.rulergame.net Please play the game after
you finish your test and while you are waiting for others to finish. Be sure to turn your sound off!
2. Please finish transferring your tattoo design onto the rough draft paper. Alter the image dramatically after
you have transferred it completely. You must alter the design so much that it is not recognizable from the
original. This is to prevent plagiarism. Your teacher will show you how.
Monday
1. Copy your new design onto the final white paper with a colored pencil only. Do not transfer the gridlines
this time! No graphite pencil may appear on your final drawing. Choose a colored pencil that will go with
your intended color scheme:
Color Scheme choices:
a. Neutral (black, white, grey, tan, metallics)
b. Color Spectrum (all the colors in the rainbow)
c. Complementary (only two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, such as green/red,
orange/blue, or yellow/violet)
d. Primary (only reds, yellows, and blues)
e. Secondary (only oranges, greens, and violets)
Tuesday
1. Learn how to use the colored pencils for coloring and shading your artworks. You will learn layering,
hatching, cross-hatching, scumble, leaving areas white for highlights, use of colorless blender, and use of
pressure on the colored pencil. Practice these techniques in your sketchbook before you start on your final
design.
2. To start coloring your design, clip your paper to a drawing board and write your name in colored pencil on a
back corner. Do not write it too large or dark. Write your color scheme name and colors on the back of
your paper, so you don't forget!
3. Review the rubric below to see how to get the best grade for this project.
4. Start drawing!
Wednesday
1. Peer critique: at your table, show you classmates your drawing and get complements and constructive
criticism.
2. Finish your design. Your last class day to work on it is Friday and it is due next Duesday.
