7th grade: Power of a Name 1-19-11

Warm UP:

Describe to me the difference in graffiti art and gang graffiti.

Vocab: 

Contrast : Differences between two or more elements (e.g., value, color, texture) in a composition; juxtaposition of dissimilar elements in a work of art. Also refers the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest areas of an image

Variety : A principle of art concerned with combining one or more elements of art in different ways to create interest.

Shepard Fairey: was sued by the associated press (AP) for using the image they took of President Obama during the 2008 presidential election to create his well known HOPE poster. 

Today's Mission: 

Students today we will jump head on into graffiti art by creating our own names in cubic style form. There will be a larger demo on creating your name in 2 point perspective as well as how to create cubes from all sides today.

If you remember from last week we worked on one point perspective of our hallways.  This week we will be even trickier when we add another dimension we can see which makes this week's demo even more important.
