Due: Total Project Due: October 31^st

Essential Question: How do artists use the picture plane to communicate their intentions and highlight their art?

Enduring Answer: Composition and Design are the organization of pictorial elements into a unified and coherent whole.  We can learn to render or create like experts but we must compose our artwork to have it appreciated.

Our Objective: 

To produce a well-thought out and constructed work of art on paper that demonstrates an understanding of design and composition.   Students will use their knowledge of collage and value to design a composition that uses value and collage to represent a subject in the style of "Mona Lisa." Collage will demonstrate an understanding of the structure of the human face and the composition strategies used by DaVinci in the "Mona Lisa."

Our Vocabulary: Composition, Design, Golden Mean, Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Balance, Unity, Collage, Value, Shape, Grey Scale, Space(Foreground, Middle Ground, Background) and Shape

Our mediums, themes, and methods:

•       Mediums: Grey scale Paper

•       Representational. Grey scale collage with strong Composition.

•       Must include an Artist Statement and DAIJ of your own work.
