Summer Project Possibilities
These can possibly be used for the breadth section of your portfolio. Each of the artworks needs to be done in the size range of 5 x 7 to 18 x 24 inches to meet AP portfolio requirements.
Create two self–portrait still life projects using a media of your choice. Each project will contain a rendering of your image reflected on or in one of the following three reflective surfaces: flat, concave or convex. See handout with examples.
*Design option- create a self portrait that includes typography and an unusual composition.
Using the same three objects, create a still life set-up that emphasizes light source and shadows. Render three compositions of the still life to account for the following three different light sources:
flashlight (single direct)
window / ambient light (dark room)
multiple light source (window plus overhead light)
Focus on depicting different tonal values and contrast levels within the pieces to bring out the depth of the compositions and the light source direction.
Develop a series of five (5 x 5) compositions that show progressive magnifications of a single subject. Using a view finder, focus on an object which contains multiple textures. Create 5 individual 5 x 5 compositions of the same object that moves in progressively closer to the subject each time. *If Drawing centered, individual compositions need to focus on mark making, line quality and line direction to bring out the textures of the object. If Design centered, focus on composition, color, pattern & the final composition of the 5 designs.
Using an image or idea from your sketchbook, examine how different color harmonies (monochromatic, triad, complementary, analogues) reflect or enforce the specific moods or emotions of a piece. Create duplicate images (Xerox, digital, scan, and or film) that can be colored using two different color harmonies. Focus on using light with the color to enhance the atmosphere and mood. *Use design-seeds.com or other color scheme sites for reference.
*If none of these are appealing to you, return with at least three projects that are extremely mindful of the Principles of Art by using the Elements.
(Line, Shape, Value, Texture, Color, Form, Space showing…)
Balance, Emphasis, Rhythm/Movement, Contrast, Variety, Depth, Proportion, Unity/Harmony
