Fashion designers today continually use the term, "fashion forward." For this binder assignment, you need to think fashion, but also think art! Your job is to first select a famous work of art from any movement/style of art throughout history. To help you make your choice, visit the following website and browse through the styles of art and paintings: http://www.artcyclopedia.com/
Inspired by the famous work of art you selected, design an outfit representing that movement and work of art. Think about colors, textures and shapes, as well as what details your outfit should include. Be creative when planning your outfit. Look at fashion to help your creativity flow when designing the shape of your clothing. Stop in during recess and check out my fashion books if you need help deciding how to push your designs outside the box. Check out the image below to see how Piet Mondrian's painting inspired fashion.
You may use any drawing materials (colored pencils, markers, paint, etc...)that help you depict your design. Don't worry about drawing the body, focus more on the clothing and be sure to create the whole outfit. This drawing will be due the week of November 14th. Please be sure to check your exact due date on the school portal.
Happy drawing!

Binder Assignment # 4 "Lovely Lines"
This next assignment combines two very important elements of art, LINE and VALUE. Using both of these tools, you can create a beautiful non-objective design. My idea for this assignment came from another great art teacher's blog, Art with Mr. E. I borrowed these directions from his blog. All you need is paper, Sharpie, and colored pencils! This assignment is due the week of December 12th. Be sure to check the portal for your art section's due date.
Start by drawing a curve line across the paper. Think rolling hill...not roller coaster!
Add 8 dots across the line. They could be(should be) at different lengths apart. You need a dot at realtively close to the edges of your paper.
You will then start connecting the dots. The dots close to the edge will go off the edge of the paper to an imaginary dot. You can not cross over any lines. However, you can share a line as you begin going up and out. The lines should be taken off the edge of the paper as you extend outwords. Some sections may be pinched off as other sections grow larger...and that is totally ok.
This is a students work that's a great example of what it should look like. The students should pick a group of colors they feel work well together. The will press harder in the corners...and as they near the center get lighter and lighter. This is a great way to practice with pressure control!!!
Here is a completed example:
