Miss Hageman's ARTE 310 Art Gallery

For each of the elements and principles of design we were to take a picture that represented that element or principle. Here are 6 of my photos.  Color I chose this picture of my yard for color because there are very vibrant colors in this photo. You can see the red fuel tanks, the green grass, the green feed wagon, and almost all the colors of the rainbow. Balace I chose this picture of the Washington Monument for balance because this picture has a sense of symmetry. If you were to fold this picture in half, cutting the Washington Monument in half, both sides would be almost the same. Contrast I chose this picture of a sunset to represent contrast because of the contrast of light and dark. The sky is lit up because the sun is setting, but the land and grass beneath it is dark. Repetition I chose this picture of a table runner because the lines and snowflakes follow a pattern. Space For space I chose this picture of my brother, nephew, and da...

For this project, I drew a self portrait superhero. We discussed Pablo Picasso and his self portraits. We then discuss cartoon characters or more specifically superhero cartoon characters. An example of superhero cartoon characters are the Incredibles. Cartoon characters usually have specific features. They have big eyes, a little nose, and mouth that is either big or little. I first practiced drawing our self portrait, then I drew a self portrait of my heads. I was given the option of a couple of different body styles that I could trace. Then I colored my superhero suit. I choose orange and yellow for mine because her name is Night Girl and superheroes generally wear bright colors. Then I glued on the body and head of my superhero. The last thing I did for this project was write at least three sentences about my superhero. For an extension activity of this project I would have students write a fictional story starring their superhero. The story should contain a plot and...

For this project, I created a paper folding piece. We learned about the artist MC Escher as well as radial symmetry which is symmetry around an axis or a middle point. We were taught 4 different folds using small square pieces of paper. To create our project, we were given the big square sheet of paper as well as different colored small square sheets of paper. We had to fold the small square pieces of paper using at least three of four fold we were taught and glued them onto our large piece of paper. We needed to use at least four different colors with some sort of color pattern, I used blue and green. We also need to create our project so it had radial symmetry and balance.  An extension activity I would do with this project is creating paper boats out of paper. I would teach my students how to make their own boats by teaching them the different folds. Then I would incorporate science by asking students if they think their boat would sink or float in water. Students ...
