AWESOME!!! Now what?

PLANNING OUR FINAL

Today we will...

1. Learn about using VIEWFINDERS as a strategy for

creating a composition from a still life
2. Create our own individual viewfinders
3. Make sure our narrative assemblages are finished
and spray painted completely
4. Make 3 thumbnail sketches to prepare for our
final project - each one should consider a
different SIZE, VIEW, and/or PLACEMENT
VIEWFINDERS

1. Create a border around the piece of tagboard I give

you (tracing a ruler is a really easy way to do this!)

2. Mark inches along one long side and one short side

2. When marking inches, think about it like a graph in
math class. PICK ONE CORNER to be your zero,
then WORK OUTWARDS from there

WHAT SHOULD I DO?
1. Have 3 thumbnail sketches!
2. Choose the one you think is the most
INTERESTING!
3. Show it to me!
4. Start mapping out your final:
• use paper on tall desk (9x12 or 12x16)
• use LIGHT lines
• map out (outline) all the colors & changes in
value - even if they seem “weird”
• number the ones that are the same
