Assignment 1: Preliminary to Final Project Assignment DUE: Feb 11
Summary of Assignment: Create an artwork using coloured art materials
that is 15 x 20 inches on illustration board incorporating one example from
each of the three mathematical concepts listed below. All three concepts
with each concept’s iteration should be clearly indicated and neatly labeled on
a 15 x 20 inch acetate overlay. This
work must include one wet medium in addition to other optional colour art
materials.
Three Mathematical
Concepts/Iterations to Select:
Euclidean Geometry and Construction
Golden Ratio
Symmetries
Assignment Requirements:
1) A minimum of three selected mathematical
concepts/iterations
2) Labels of concepts/iterations securely attached
on or attached underneath to acetate
3) Acetate is securely attached to top edge of work
4) Variety, complexity and unity in the over all
design including:
A) Shape, line, colour, material characteristics
and their organization in relation to: each other (iterations and overlapping),
the overall composition and optical illusions of space.
B) Different use of art materials, styles and
context and relationship between different sensibilities (controlled/analytical
and uncontrolled/intuitive).
C) Clarity of intentions in relation to art and
math concepts (art concepts being 4 and 5 on this checklist)
5) Art Materials and Process - Integrated
investigative process in physicality, layering and optics including:
A) Variety of Mark making
B) Thick and thin applications of materials
C) Editing, layering and revising - additive
subtractive processes of materials, opaqueness and transparency of materials
D) Matt and gloss surfaces/materials
E) Range of colour mixing
F) Colour interaction and optics of colour with in
the space
G) Overall clarity of intentions of materials
