3^rd Quarter 9 week Project

All three day a week Art classes are to create and submit a 9-week project.

The project will be graded on the following criteria, which are worth 100 points each:

v Design (have you placed the elements of the project in a pleasing and interesting manner)

Requirements:

Ø Use 12” by 15” drawing paper (no other size is acceptable). PAPER MAY NOT BE FOLDED!!

Ø Subject must be a Landscape from life or photo.

Ø Medium must be colored pencil or oil pastel (if oil pastel is used… you must also use a spray fixative to keep the oil pastel from rubbing off the paper. An inexpensive hair spray such as “Aquanet” will work fine.)
