Art and Design 2200

The development of personal imagery is central to Art and Design 3200. People make art “about” something. The best art is about things which are of interest and are relevant to the artist. This course encourages students to search for, discover, respond to and make art about subject matter which is meaningful to them. In order to develop their confidence and their competence in image making, Art and Design 3200 students will broaden and refine their understanding of visual composition and develop their skills with art media and processes. This course is constructed in such a way that students may develop competence in a small number, rather than limited competence in a larger number, of studio disciplines.

Students work with visual problems, study past and present cultures through a visual lens, and participate in the creative process and production of art. Because students explore only three units per year, they have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the content for an extended period of time. This allows a quality versus quantity approach to the material.

We will explore the following three studio units this year:

·         Fabric Art

·         Painting

·         Graphic Art

Doodle Drawing (Introductory Project) - Due September 15, 2015

For this project, we will look at doodle drawings and designs.  A doodle is an unfocused or unconscious drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied.   Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes.  Stereotypical examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by students daydreaming or losing interest during class. Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available.  

Because you will be learning how to express yourself through art, you will focus your doodle around yourself.  You will choose an image to represent you to draw in the center of your page (this will be your focal point) and then fill the rest of your page with random doodles, shapes, lines, words, and patterns.  Your drawing will be completed in pencil, outlined with marker, and then coloured completely.  Please try your best to keep your project neat.

This project will help me to get to know you as an artist and express your personality.  Remember to be creative!

Examples of doodle meanings can be found here and here.

Examples of art doodles can be found here and here are examples of doodles found in Google.
