LESSON 2 INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:

MEDIEVAL-CONTEMPORARY THINK SHEET
In your groups, consider the four concepts you will be assigned for your
essay/book binding project. The four concepts are as follows: Societal/
religious fanaticism, International epidemics, Communication methods, and
Concepts of architectural usage. After choosing your concept, answer the following
questions. These are designed to help you gather your thoughts for your essay and
your artwork.
1. What is your concept?
2. Which Medieval and Contemporary theme did you decide to compare and
contrast?
3. What is similar about your themes? (ex. Ebola v. Plague, Facebook v.
Manuscripts, etc.)
4. What is different about your themes?
5. In your group, gather some thoughts about your answers. Write below some
points your group came up with that you would want to put into your short essay
and your compare/contrast pages.
Remember, you will be working on this project together in your group. Make sure
to communicate information properly and efficiently!
LESSON 3 INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS:
EXEMPLAR:
VISUAL STEP-BY-STEP for Book Pages
-Step 1: Establish your border. You must use a ruler to measure out a 1”
border on the left side of the page. This will be key for the end when we bind
the pages together. The other sides of the paper do not need a border.
-Step 2: Establish your axis by using a ruler. You want to make sure your axis is
aligned by a 90 degree angle. This will help you organize your composition and
plan out where you want your images and text to go on the page.
-Step 3: Use your color theme to establish balance in your compositions. Using
either tissue paper, paint, or water color, establish your first layer by evenly coating
your page. If you are going to use tissue paper, wet your all purpose brush first
with glue mixed with water and lay it on the page. Then, take your tissue paper,
place it on the page and coat with the glue/water mixture. Just note if you do this,
this method takes a bit longer to dry! For a water color or acrylic paint layer, use a
small amount and create an even layer. Repeat until whole page is covered evenly.
-Step 4: Layer your ground layer using text from your essays, images from your
research, and other materials around you. Make sure your images and text are
aligned on the axis you have established in Step 2! You want to have multiple
layers to create balance and visual interest. You want to make sure one page
compares your images and one contrasts!
-Step 5: Create a cover page of your concept -societal mores/religious fanaticism,
international epidemics, communication methods, and concepts of architectural
usage- with your group. You want your cover page to introduce your theme to your
audience! Cover pages must have a title and your names on it.
