Painting value and learning brush techniques: Crit B Formative  2 classes

Using 2b, 4b, 6b pencils to practice shading and value: Crit B Formative  2 classes

​Criteria C  = Building a  Whimsical  House out of Clay
For this task you will design a house
Your house will not look a house that any of us have ever lived in. You are creating a piece of art
 Look at the artwork from last semester students as inspiration Using graph paper that I will give you,  draw your house. 
Think about:
  • the height
  • The width
  • The roof . Tall triangle Short triangle. Flat. One sided
  • the windows - circles, squares, rectangles. Cut out our stuck on. Where will they go?
  • The doors - long, short, wide, square. Cut out or stuck on
  • The goal is for your house to be creative but  simple. You will have 3 classes to build it

Steps to making your house. 
          First: Draw a simple sketch of your house in your journal. 
Then: 
  1. Using graph paper  and a ruler draw the base of  your house using a ruler. It should not be more than 20 cm tall and 11 cm wide. Not shorter than 14 cm
  2. Draw the roof. You can make it look any way that you like as long as the total height of your house is not more than 20 cm
  3. Make 4 copies of the base on graph paper
  4. Make 4 copies of the roof - triangles. Think
  5. Draw the windows and doors on all of the bases  Any shape you want. Do you want to cut them out or stick them on? You can do both
  6. You can write on your drawing.
  7. Start to make your piece by cutting out  your shapes.- all the slabs -4 sides and 4 roofs
  8. Cut out and windows and doors before you put your piece together
  9. Using the slab method, put together the base. Use scratching and slip and coil
  10. Put together the triangles of the roof or whatever style roof you want to make. 
  11. Attach the roof to the base. 
  12. Add details - window sills, carving, texture - be creative.
