Concentration Worksheet
A.P. STUDIO Art
Idea Development Packet
This packet must be completed in its entirety.
This packet is meant to help you generate meaningful ideas and hopefully learn to explore your ideas beyond your initial thoughts. The creative process is crucial to your development as an artist. I want you to learn how to make your work say something literally or symbolically.
I would like you to explain in detail your idea:
Types of themes: Circle the one that best describes your idea.
Still Life Portrait Self-Portrait Figure Landscape Abstract
Seascape Object Narrative Mythical Historical Illustrative
DESCRIPTION: Briefly describe the theme or nature of your work. In other words, what will your drawing/designs/sculptures be about?
MOOD: Describe the mood you would like your work to convey and how you plan to achieve this.
COLOR SCHEMES: Think of colors that can be used to enhance the visual interest of the work.
ANGLE OF VIEW: Describe the angle that you will use to create visual interest. (Ants Eye, Birds Eye, Foreshortened, 3⁄4 View, Forced Perspective, Distortion)
MEDIA/TECHNIQUE: What media or mediums and techniques do you plan to use?
VISUAL REFERENCES: What will your visual references be and how/where will you get them?
PAPER(S) and SIZE(S): What support, size and orientation will be used to complete the work?
Creating Thumbnail Sketches
The Artistic Process
THE SKETCH:
Inside your sketchbook, please adhere this worksheet to the page. Next, begin drawing out your ideas in the form of a quick thumbnail sketch using all the information you’ve gathered from above. You must complete
a Vertical and a Horizontal composition. Then choose the sketch that works the best and rework it into a more finished sketch inside your sketchbook.
STEP 1:
Thumbnail Sketches are Shorthand Notes for Artists:
Thumbnail sketches are small, roughly drawn images quickly committed to paper. Drawn effortlessly and in rapid succession, they appear as nothing more than doodles to untrained eyes. Thumbnail sketches are, in
fact, the most efficient mode of illustrative brainstorming and a source of potentially rich fodder for subsequent finished imagery.
Use thumbnail sketches to develop the most effective layout, balance, tone, shading, and color palettes. Working out image tonal areas, color, and shadings before committing yourself to finished media saves time and materials.
STEP 2:
Reworking the thumbnail sketch into a small scale version of your idea:
o Next, take your most successful thumbnail sketch and rework it into a small scale drawing in your sketchbook.
o This drawing should be about 4”x6” or 5”x7” inches at the most. NO BIGGER!!!
o This is not a finished drawing it just acts as a color and compositional study. The drawing will most likely be crude and ruff. That is okay.
o Now add color to this sketch. Please don’t spend hours on this…IT”S ONLY A QUICK SKETCH!!!!
o Please don’t spend more than 20-30 minutes on this step.
STEP 3:
Self Evaluation Process:
Look at your work and make an honest evaluation of it at this point. It’s better to do it now, rather than on the good paper. Right your response inside of your sketchbook along with all your sketches for the artwork.
Ask yourself the following questions:
o What am I trying to say? Am I saying it?
o What’s the focal point or center of interest?
o Content. What is it and why have I chosen it?
o Is this cliché or the simple, easy response to the problem?
o What mood have I established? How can you tell? Do I need to establish mood?
o What is the viewpoint? Why have you choose that viewpoint? Is it doing anything for the work? Should it be from a different angle or vantage point?
o Have I established depth and/or movement?
The list goes on and on, but I think you get the idea. Just keep
questioning yourself and why you do what you do? These questions and
answers will hopefully establish a deeper work of art.

Do some research on fortune cookies, make multiples, chance scale or color or context….
Medium:
Choose a medium appropriate to your portfolio.
2-d: photo, digital, collage, draw, paint, blockprint, etc.
Draw: paint, draw, ink, blockprint, etc.
3-d: plaster, clay, wood, fabric, wax, paper, wire, etc.
Size: depends on the approach you take-no specific requirement.

altered book guidelines
Altered Books Guidelines
You will present your books to the class the week of August 28, 2008.
You are required to do at least 10 pages, plus cover, title
page and inside cover page. You can choose any methods you want.
Choosing a Book:
Size: The thicker the book the more pages to deal with. A thin children's book would be too small, War and Peace would not be a good choice. 150 - 200 pages enables you to glue many pages together to create niches. Tear out the pages you don't use.
Paper Quality: Cheap paper won't stand up to painting, tearing or any "hard use". You'll be investing a lot of time creating your pages, choose a paper that feels substantial and has weight.
Price: Your ideal book is probably on your bookshelf at home. Even an old textbook will work. Do not spend money on an expensive book.
Check the library for discarded books or garage sales.
Suggested Books:
Address books
Thick children's books
Discarded coffee table books
Dictionaries
Old atlases
Old encyclopedias
Your favorite novel
Basic Supplies:
Paint brushes, mat knife, box cutter or X-acto knife, scissors, wax paper,
Old credit card for smoothing glued papers, newspaper to work on.
*Clear glue stick - DO NOT use rubber cement (it dries out over time and does not hold). Only use Elmer's glue to attach thick items like mat board, fabric or objects.
Acrylic paint (I will supply all paint), water color paint, black and colored markers, stamps made out of erasers or potatoes, colored pencils, oil pastels, crayons. Anything that will make a mark – Be inventive!
*Put wax paper between the pages until they are fully dry.
BUILD UP LAYERS USING DIFFERENT MATERIALS!
Fun Stuff:
Collected papers, junk drawer stuff, stamps, threads, wool, fibers, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, tissues, feathers, old stockings (fishnet, perhaps!),
bubble wrap, tiny bottles, anything small, pressed flowers, coins, notes,
love letters, other letters, collage papers, origami papers, paint chips,
magazines, maps, postcards, old calendars, newspapers, junk shop
finds, fabrics, lace, old jewelry, old photos, shells, buttons, puzzle pieces,
game pieces, cards, trinkets, tickets, beads, charms, hardware stuff,
dental floss, play money, wires, baseball cards, sports logos.....
ALTERED BOOK TECHNIQUES & IDEAS
1.. Opening pages - inside front cover - explain your theme visually- no words
2.. Do a watercolor painting over two written pages going across the fold.
3.. Make a small rubber stamp from a gum eraser and stamp it to enhance your art work - use it on other pages to create a design thread.
4.. Do a page with a border - color or black and white.
5.. Attach an envelope and put something in it.
6.. Add paper tabs on the edge of the page.
7.. Do an inkblot with thinned acrylic paint then paint or draw over it. Let the blot be your inspiration. Splatter or drip paint.
8.. Begin a page with a crayon design and add a watercolor wash. Build up at least 3 more layers of materials - crayon resist, torn paper, acrylic paint.
9.. Sponge paint with acrylics.
10.. Start your page with a map.
11.. Use colored tape to create masked off stripes or borders.
12.. Paint a watercolor wash on tracing paper and texturize it with saran wrap.
13.. Do a rubbing with crayon, tear it out, and attach it to your page.
14.. Make a circular mandala design.
15.. Make a bookmark for your book that reflects your theme – you may attach it or not.
16.. Create columns.
17.. Make a cutout niche by gluing several (at least 10) pages together. Put something in the cutout.
18.. A window - or two or three.

ALTERED BOOKS - THE COVER, TITLE PAGE & INSIDE COVERS
The final part of your altered book is the Cover and Title Page. The cover consists of the front, side binding and optional back cover. This should be the last step in designing your altered book.
a.. Give the book a title and incorporate it into your cover design. Be very careful with the lettering. Use a stencil or print it on the computer with an appropriate font and trace the letters.
b.. You may cover the book with paper or fabric and paint directly on these covers.
c.. You can use acrylic paint on the cover. Your design may be continuous and wrap around the book. Create unity through the use of color, line, shape, pattern and texture.
Remember that the cover is the most important part of your altered book. It is an invitation to open the book and explore. It must be visually exciting, well-crafted and neat. It also must be sturdy.
The Title Page is a key page. It is the first "real page" the viewer
sees and should have the following information:
a.. The title
b.. The author - YOU, the artist
c.. The year - This is usually not on the title page but it is significant in an altered book
You should include some artwork to enhance the words but the art should not be the most important part. You could have small art work placed strategically on the page or put a light design behind the words. The lettering can be traced from a computer font. Plan the lettering and place it carefully on the page. The title should be the largest because it is the most important. Make the font or type of lettering match the tone of your theme.
The Inside Covers are the pages that are glued to the inside of the front and back covers and may also include the attached page. A decorative repeat design possibly made with a stamp would be the perfect solution. The design of the stamp must relate to your theme. You may stamp with ink, markers or paint. The operative phrase here is HAVE FUN!
You will present your books to the class the week of August 28, 2008.
You are required to do at least 10 pages, plus cover, title
page and inside cover page. You can choose any methods you want.
Choosing a Book:
Size: The thicker the book the more pages to deal with. A thin children's book would be too small, War and Peace would not be a good choice. 150 - 200 pages enables you to glue many pages together to create niches. Tear out the pages you don't use.
Paper Quality: Cheap paper won't stand up to painting, tearing or any "hard use". You'll be investing a lot of time creating your pages, choose a paper that feels substantial and has weight.
Price: Your ideal book is probably on your bookshelf at home. Even an old textbook will work. Do not spend money on an expensive book.
Check the library for discarded books or garage sales.
Suggested Books:
Address books
Thick children's books
Discarded coffee table books
Dictionaries
Old atlases
Old encyclopedias
Your favorite novel
Basic Supplies:
Paint brushes, mat knife, box cutter or X-acto knife, scissors, wax paper,
Old credit card for smoothing glued papers, newspaper to work on.
*Clear glue stick - DO NOT use rubber cement (it dries out over time and does not hold). Only use Elmer's glue to attach thick items like mat board, fabric or objects.
Acrylic paint (I will supply all paint), water color paint, black and colored markers, stamps made out of erasers or potatoes, colored pencils, oil pastels, crayons. Anything that will make a mark – Be inventive!
*Put wax paper between the pages until they are fully dry.
BUILD UP LAYERS USING DIFFERENT MATERIALS!
Fun Stuff:
Collected papers, junk drawer stuff, stamps, threads, wool, fibers, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, tissues, feathers, old stockings (fishnet, perhaps!),
bubble wrap, tiny bottles, anything small, pressed flowers, coins, notes,
love letters, other letters, collage papers, origami papers, paint chips,
magazines, maps, postcards, old calendars, newspapers, junk shop
finds, fabrics, lace, old jewelry, old photos, shells, buttons, puzzle pieces,
game pieces, cards, trinkets, tickets, beads, charms, hardware stuff,
dental floss, play money, wires, baseball cards, sports logos.....
ALTERED BOOK TECHNIQUES & IDEAS
1.. Opening pages - inside front cover - explain your theme visually- no words
2.. Do a watercolor painting over two written pages going across the fold.
3.. Make a small rubber stamp from a gum eraser and stamp it to enhance your art work - use it on other pages to create a design thread.
4.. Do a page with a border - color or black and white.
5.. Attach an envelope and put something in it.
6.. Add paper tabs on the edge of the page.
7.. Do an inkblot with thinned acrylic paint then paint or draw over it. Let the blot be your inspiration. Splatter or drip paint.
