September exam Visual Arts 1 ESO

The exam will focus on the topics included in the textbook used during this year. The exam will include practical exercises for which it is necessary to bring: ruler, triangular set squares, compass, pencil, eraser, and pencils and colored markers. Don't be afraid, it will be something similar to what we have done all along the course.

You have been given this assignements with your nal marks, DO NOT FORGET TO BRING ALL OF THEM COMPLETED THIS DAY. It is COMPULSORY. If you have any question send an email: dibujoiesgasparsanz@gmail.com . Work a lot but enjoy as well, you have enough time for everything.

Changing world, changing gures

Find a large photograph you like: a favorite musician, car, landscape... Cut your pictures into horizontal or vertical strips. Make the strips as wide as you like. Create a feeling of distortion by gluing the strips onto the space provided, using a certain order you have previously decided. For example, light to dark, different heights, every third strip upside down, etc.

Enclosed and open shapes

Use different shapes to change an image. Choose a photograph of a landscape. Trace its outline onto tracing paper. Then transfer it onto the paper. Make two versions. Version 1: Use enclosed shapes, colouring in the spaces with felt pens. Version 2: Overlap some areas to avoid clear contours.

The expressive qualities of the dot

A. Complete the shape bellow with different types of dots using coloured felt pens. Remember that dots must be very small. B. See how the owers contour is created in the following picture. Analyze its shape. C. Analyze the two ways the dot is used in the following examples. D. Invent two different shapes using dots in different ways on the white parts of the photographs.

Expressive qualities of the line

Using coloured felt pens, draw different types of lines of varying thicknesses. 1. Give volume to the image by using vertical parallel lines in a single colour. Remember, use ne lines to create the lighter areas and thicker ones for darker tones. 2. Colour the image sets of parallel lines in different directions.

A colour for every season

Colour each of these landscapes with the colour family you consider most appropriate for each season of the year. Use markers and felt pens with tips of different thicknesses: thick, medium and ne.

Danger! Watch out for...

The Highway Code obliges drivers and pedestrians to act correctly and helps them prevent accidents. Design a trafc sign that warns us of danger. Keep in mind that the shapes must be simple symbols and that each colour transmits a different message. Draw in pencil, and then colour with felt pens. If necessary, use rulers and a compass.

Creating depth

Find an urban landscape with buildings in a magazine or newspaper. Copy it twice, using a graphite pencil and light strokes than can be erased easily. In your rst picture, use coloured pencils and smudges to colour the drawing, creating a sense of depth and volume. Mix the colours to create interesting effects. In the second drawing, use your coloured pencils to make crosshatched lines of different colours to create a sense of volume and depth.

Creating volume

Shade the outline of a jar with 2B graphite pencil, to create a sense of volume. In the rst space, draw the jar and make dark smudges on one side to give it a sense of volume. Press harder or more lightly to create the impression of a lateral light source. In the second space, draw the same jar, but use lines to create light and shaded areas.

Drawing parallel lines

Using a 2H graphite pencil, draw parallel lines in the different sections of the worksheet. horizontal, vertical, oblique at 45. Look how to arrange your triangular set squares to produce each type of lines.

Geometric decoration using straight lines and curves

Create these designs by drawing straight and curved lines in the squares provided. Use straight lines for the rst design and curved ones for your second design. Colour the designs with felt pens.

Construction of triangles
h

Draw the following types of triangles: - A triangle with the sides AB, BC and CA. -An equilateral triangle with length of sides AB. -An isosceles triangle with base AB and height h.

Construction of quadrilaterals

Draw the following types of quadrilaterals: - A square with the sides AB. -A rectangle with the longest side AB and height h. -A rhombus with AB as the longest diagonal and CD as the shortest diagonal. h

Compositions using a square net

If you look closely at the drawing to see how it was made you will see it is very simple. This drawing will help you to create other designs which are equally beautiful. Create your own version, or use the one provided as a model. Then colour your composition with coloured pencils.
