Project 9:(Movement/Rhythm) Aboriginal Art, Watercolor





You are to create a panel in the style of aboriginal art that represents a real animal. YOU CANNOT USE AN ANIMAL FROM AUSTRALIA OR NEW ZEALAND. The arrangement of pattern, color use, and items on the page should give us a good sense of movement to a focal point as well as creating visual rhythm. MAKE SURE TO DO THE PROCESS TO COME UP WITH A GOOD SOLUTION.
1. CHOOSE YOUR COLORS CAREFULLY. EARTH TONES ARE TYPICALLY STRONGLY REPRESENTED COMBINED WITH OTHER COLORS IN A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED WAY.
2. Study the samples to see how shapes and patterns are utilized.
3. YOU MUST BE CAREFUL TO USE THE WATERCOLOR PROPERLY. Do not over saturate the page or the pigment. WORK SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY ALLOWING FOR DRYING TIME BETWEEN WASHES.
4. Use a GOOD H pencil to lightly draw in before painting. Some of you are using H pencils that have quality problems and youR under-drawing is TOO DARK.
5. AGAIN, STUDY THE HANDOUTS AND SYNTHESIZE WHAT IS BEING DONE WITH REGARDS TO PATTERN,COLOR, LINE USE, SHAPE, LAYOUT, ETC. The ability to produce a quality product will have a lot to do with how well you have studied examples and applied what you have learned.
