- 1. New Mexico Thistle New Mexico Thistle Collage Presentation Strand B: Resource 1 Teacher
- 2. New Mexico Thistle Scientific Name : Cirsium neomexicanum Family: Asterceae, Sunflower Family Also Called: Desert Thistle, Utah Thistle, Foss Thistle, Powderpuff Thistle Biennial: blooms twice a year following winter and spring rains, then again after summer monsoon. Habitat: plains, mesas, rocky hillsides, foothills, roadsides. This plant attracts bees, wasps, and butterflies.
- 4. Elements of Art: LINE – a mark or stroke made on or in a surface. SHAPE – a 2-D (flat) enclosed area. FORM – a 3-D object with height, width and depth or the illusion of 3 dimensions. SPACE – the area above, below, around, and within a piece of artwork, and the illusion of depth or space on a flat surface. COLOR – the visible range of reflected light. TEXTURE – surface quality; how something feels or appears to feel. VALUE – how dark or light something is
- 5. In this project, we are going to focus on : LINE SHAPE FORM TEXTURE But first, we need to talk about COMPOSITION. Composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art. It is HOW your art is made up. Why do you think it is important to put effort into your composition when making art?
- 7. Let’s try applying the RULE OF THIRDS to these composition variations……
- 8. Step 1: Make a preparatory sketch of your composition. Apply the Rule of Thirds. Let’s look at how I did in my sketch…..
- 9. Step 2. Thinking about SHAPE – make clouds using white paper and special scissors. What shapes do you want to create for your clouds. Also think about LINE – what kind of outline do they have?
- 10. Step 3. Thinking about LINE – make 6-9 lines with green paint. These will be the stems of your thistles. What are the qualities of the lines? Thick, thin, wavy, curved, bent, etc.
- 11. Step 4. Thinking about TEXTURE, add a blob of green paint, then use a stick to scratch in the heads of the thistles. What is their texture? Sharp, hairy, pointy, etc.? How can you add visual texture?
- 13. Step 5. Working with TEXTURE again, use squares of tissue paper to create the thistle flowers.
- 14. Also think about FORM – how full are the thistles? What is their volume?
- 15. Step 6. Makes leaves for the stems using paper and patterned scissors. Think about SHAPE, LINE, TEXTURE.
- 17. Let’s recap the process…. 1. Make a quick preparatory sketch to plan your composition.2. Cut clouds – pay attention to FORM and SHAPE 3. Paint stems – what kind of LINES are you making? 4. Paint flower heads – how do you make TEXTURE with paint? 5. Add thistle flowers – how do you make TEXTURE with paper? 6. Cut leaves – how do you make TEXTURE with patterned scissors? 7. Glue leaves down.
- 18. What are we going to learn? Our learning objectives are outlined by NM Visual Arts Standards. Here are your goals for this project: • I can apply the elements of art in assigned visual arts problems. (VA1A.b) • I can select a variety of materials, tools, and techniques for producing desired artistic results(VA.1B.a) • I can use art materials and tools safely and responsibly. (VA.1C)
- 19. How will we be assessed?
