Outcome (circle the verb and underline the qualifiers)
CP 7.12 Use image-making skills, tools, techniques, and problem-solving abilities in a variety of visual art media.
KNOW
 Ways to create emphasis – size, contrast,
outlining, repetition, isolating
 Vocabulary – vanishing point, perspective,
one-point, two-point, point of view,
proportion, tool, technology, materials,
media, techniques, shadow, value, form,
linear, shape, space, scale, focal point,
emphasis
 How to:
o use various technologies
o care for tools
o use materials effectively
o utilize various techniques
o observe what is being drawn –
activate the critical eye
o determine proportion (strategies)
o create various values and observe
them in order to replicate them
o create art according to various
perspectives (techniques)
o solve visual problems and reflect on
own processes
o strategies for making comparisons
o be responsible for own art space and
materials (care)
UNDERSTAND
 That the creation of visual art
means attending to various
skills, tools, techniques and
technologies.
 That creating art is about solving
problems and asking questions.
 That an important factor in
creating images and ideas that
look “realistic” is to look really
well at the object we are trying to
re-create.
 That proportion, value,
perspective and scale are all
important in creating the illusion
of three dimensionality and
realism within a 2-D space.
 That art is about relationships
 That visual art can be discussed
and compared according to
shape, space and form.
 That there are ways to create
desired effects in visual art and
these can be learned.
 Practice makes perfect or if at
first you don’t succeed, try, try
again.
BE ABLE TO DO
 Demonstrate skillful use of a range of
appropriate tools, technology, materials and
techniques
 Demonstrate keen observations of detail and
represent unique features of people, animals,
plants, and so on.
 Depict people and objects using correct
proportion
 Explore and demonstrate understanding of
the role of light and shadow in creating the
illusion of form
 Demonstrate how point of view can be
manipulated
 Demonstrate understanding of the concept of
vanishing point in linear perspective
 Explore relationships among shape, space
and form
 Recognize that scale may or may not be
realistic
 Experiment with different ways of creating
focal points or emphasis
 Describe own problem-solving processes
 Discuss explorations and comparisons of
various media
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
What are the things I must attend to when creating visual art and how is each important to my overall message?
How is art related to problem-solving?
How can I make my art look real?
How do I create 3-D effects on a 2-D surface?
How is art about relationships?
How can I compare and discuss art?
How do I create the effects I want (like emphasis)?
How do I get better? What do I do when I am really frustrated?
