Grade 10 painting - Term3

Jessica Alcock - Grade 10 2013

For my Grade 10s ........ 

We will spend HALF this term on your final painting.
Here are some constraints to plan around ......

• Subject matter .... still life or landscape 'with a twist'
• You MUST work from your own photos - please don't use the Internet. If you HAVE to use borrowed images, please put in the reference and then transform them using your own images.
• Format Size ......between 600sq.cm and 1200sq.cm
• Format shape ...... any!
• Medium .... any coloured medium on its specific ground
• Process document .... hand in at least one A3 worksheet with your painting showing  all your supporting work (incl. photos)

RUBRIC LINK

This link will explain what you should focus on - it gives you the goalpost for your painting.

1. Mindmap/ brainstorming
2. Compositional miniature (showing tone as well)
   NB be careful of  format shape...... SHOW:-
   - rule of thirds
   - focal area
   - directional lines
   - what is light and what is dark (a balance)
3. Start working into your GROUND - establish this underpainting first to create the MOOD. Then work into the underpainting of the FIGURES. This is a type of figure/ground interaction.
4. When you have finished the underpainting, then work into the painting as you refine and define the details.
