Contrast Poster 


Due: Friday, August 30, 2013

Screen Shot 2013-08-21 at 6.12.10 PM

Summary: Using our art supplies, make a poster that illustrates contrast. Non-digital.

Guidelines

  1. Use white 11″ x 17″ paper as the foundation for your design.
  2. Design it in landscape format: with the 17″ edge going left-to-right and the 1″ edge going top-to-bottom with a 1″ border on all sides.
  3. You can use any of the available materials to complete your ad: markers, colored pencils, crayons, rulers, compasses, and stencils. Do not cut pictures from magazines.
  4. Start your design in pencil so you can make adjustments before you finalize your design.
  5. Design your poster with the following elements:
    1. The word “contrast” should appear three times in three very different styles of lettering.
    2. Each time, the letters in the word “contrast” should be at least two inches high.
    3. Restrict your color selection to three very different (contrasting) colors plus the white of the paper. Using only three colors will unify your poster.
    4. Put a contrasting background rectangle behind the word “contrast” at least once.
    5. Thick “bubble” letterforms will work best for this. Do your best to create outlines for the letters and fill them in, rather than writing the word “contrast”.Screen Shot 2013-08-21 at 6.11.11 PM
  6. Make it neatly. Use a ruler. Take your time.

  5. Write the word REPETITION in letters at least two inches high somewhere on your poster, so they can be read across the room. Check your spelling!
  6. The rest of your poster must be arranged like this:
    1. At least four identical items or shapes repeating in an orderly fashion; this is consistency.
    2. An additional item that is nearly identical but different in a distinctive way; this is unity with variety.
    3. Here are some ways to make this single item distinct:
      1. Make it significantly bigger or smaller, or
      2. Make it a very different color, or
      3. Flip or turn the item, or
      4. Put the item on its own, away from the other, orderly items.

Welcome to AP Studio Art 2-D Design!

Course Description: The Advanced Placement (AP) Studio Art program makes it possible for highly motivated art students to develop mastery (quality) in concept, composition, and execution of 2-D design artwork.  Students will apply their knowledge of the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design using a wide variety of media in creating quality, original works of art.

This course helps provide students with a collection of artwork for a college / art school level portfolio. Students have the opportunity to take the AP Art Studio (2-D Design) exam in May of the school year by sending in a portfolio of their work. This portfolio must include:  5 original works of art, a concentration of 12 works of art, and 12 works of art that show breadth (knowledge of the Elements of Art and Principles of Design mastered through technical skill and media).  College credits may be earned based upon the portfolio sent in for grading.  Students should investigate how individual colleges accept and apply Advanced Placement credit in the AP Studio Art program.

Course Objectives:  While completing this course, students will have the opportunity to produce a portfolio of art work that demonstrates:

  • Your skills and craftsmanship,
  • Your breadth of artistic knowledge
  • Evidence of exploration and personal expression

Note:  You may wish to use your portfolio to apply for AP college credit, and/or admission to a college or university, or art school.

Your portfolio will demonstrate a high level of competence in:

  • Project development through journal work
  • Visual problem solving from conception to execution
  • Technical skill
  • Personal style and expression
  • The principles and elements of design
