DRAWING Station COLOR Unit
High School / Fine Arts / Design
The purpose of this instructional video is to preview the DRAWING STATION in our Color Unit.
It?s me, Mrs.Ramirez. <br>
And I?m going to preview, the Drawing Station.<br>
At this station, you will learn about the Art Elements of Color and Line.<br>
And the Art Principles of Balance and Unity.<br>
Don?t forget, Elements and Principles are 2 of our Quack-a-Demic Vocabulary words.<br>
If you hear Elements and Principles, be ready to say ?Quack! Quack? and be ready to tell all about it.<br>
What are the Elements and Principles, you ask?<br>
Elements are the things that you will see in your art, like colors and lines.<br>
Principles are the ways you will use the Colors and Lines to show Balance and Unity.<br>
Today, you will draw Balance lines on shrink film using a sharpie and a straight edge.<br>
Then, you will use harmonious colored pencils to fill in the spaces.<br>
Are you ready to give it a try?<br>
Great!<br>
First, hold the straight edge firmly with one hand.<br>
Slowly press and trace a straight line with a sharpie across the film.<br>
Move the straight edge to a new location.<br>
Hold it firmly and trace the next line.<br>
Kindergarten artists will draw three lines.<br>
First grade artists will draw five lines.<br>
Second grade artists will draw seven lines.<br>
Now, write your name neatly on the film.<br>
You are ready to choose your 3 harmonious colors!<br>
Remember! Harmonious colors look great together. <br>
Will you choose the primary colors? Yellow, red and blue.<br>
Or will you choose the secondary colors? Green, violet or orange.<br>
Maybe you like the warm colors. Yellow, red and orange.<br>
Or perhaps you like the cool colors. Green, blue and violet.<br>
Whichever colors you choose. The colors will help create unity in the project.<br>
Colors on the side with the sand and texture with your 3 harmonious colors, so that they show balance together. <br>
If your colored pencils break, you will need to use the hand sharpener.<br>
Be careful. That blade is sharp!<br>
Hold the sharpener firmly over a black dish.<br>
Carefully put the pencil in the hole and begin rotating the pencil.<br>
You will start to see the pencil shavings coming off the side of the sharpener.<br>
Continue rotating the pencil until your can see the sharpened tip in the sharpener.<br>
Pull out the pencil carefully and tap the pencil shavings over the dish.<br>
You are ready to keep coloring.<br>
After the film is baked,it will look like stained glass.<br>
Goodluck!<br>
