Prompts for Day Two

Step-by-step Instructions

Find photos of compositions representing each term

  • Find and save the images for famous works of art from Art21 artists or a museum website, like LACMA, that represent a clear example of the terms listed:
                           •  Changes in Line Quality                    •  Changes in Value                             •  Monochromatic Color Scheme
                           •  Organic Shapes                                •  Interesting Negative Space              •  Analogous Color Scheme
                           •  Open Shapes                                    •  Organic Forms                                 •  Complementary Color Scheme
                           •  Implied Texture                                  •  Geometric Forms                             •  Primary Color Palette
                           •  Geometric Shapes                            •  Outline or Contour Drawing              •  Tetradic Color Scheme
                           •  Closed Shapes                                  •  Value Drawing                                  •  Ceramics
  • Using you iPad, save pictures of the compositions. You should end up with 18 distinct photographs of compositions representing your terms.
  • Download the prompt images above to your iPad. Click on the image. Hold your finger down on the image until the prompt comes up to save the image. You should be able to find them in Photos after you have downloaded them.

Place the photos onto the documents provided

  • Using Adobe Draw or Photoshop Mix, open a new document, letter size.
  • Add a new image layer, and place one of the two prompt images.
  • Add a new image layer for each of the six compositions you made matching the terms listed.
  • Once you have added all of your composition images, write your name in the name box.
  • Save the image to the iPad.

Print the three pages out - don't get up. They will be delivered to you.

  • Next, you'll print the image out. You need to use the HP Smart Print App to print the image full page. If you try to print another way, the image will come out too small.
  • Open HP Smart, and choose Print Documents
  • Set the print options to Letter, and Print.
  • Ask for your printout to be delivered to you.

Once you have your printed pages, explain how the image is an example of the term listed. 

  • Write an explanation below the photo of the term in the margin provided.
  • The text you write below the term will resolve any differences between what you see with your eyes and I see with mine. For instance, if you see the color red, where I see the color orange, your text explanation will explain your thinking and possibly earn you a higher grade.
  • Staple the three documents together and turn them into the period folder.
