The Cast Shadow- This is the darkest dark. It is the shadow that is cast by an object on a surface that it is laying on. The cast shadow is the darkest where the object and surface touch, and will get lighter as it gets farther away from the object.
- Shadow Edge- This value is on the opposite side of the light source. It is not the edge of the object.
- Mid-Tone- This is what the actual color of the object is, without any effects from light or shadow.
- Reflected Light- This is the light that is seen around an object, usually between the cast shadow and the shadow edge. It's the light that is bouncing off of the surfaces around the object. This value is never bright white. When drawing in color the reflected light will contain the color of the object or surface closest to the object your drawing.
- Full Light/Highlight- This is where the light source hits the object at full strength. It is usually shown by the white of the paper. All the areas of gray around the full light should be blended so that there is a smooth, gradual transition between them.

Art 1 and 2 Painting and Color
Students will create a Acrylic painting and learn the basics of color mixing and color theroy
To mix color you have to have a basic knowledge of color theory and a hands-on understanding of how paint colors behave with each other. It is important to understand that when mixing paint, as you are creating a painting, you draw upon your knowledge of color theory and your understanding of how paint colors behave; however it is more of hit and miss and try again to achieve the right color. Studying the color wheel below is a good place to start learning color theory. The first thing you should note is the primary colors: Red, Yellow and Blue.
Primary Colors
Theoretically all colors can be mixed from these three colors. However theory and practical application are very different. If you were to ask what is pure yellow? I would have to answer “ the absence of red and blue”. The same would be said of pure red, it is the absence of yellow and blue and pure blue is the absence of red and yellow. To simulate the primary colors in the color wheel below I used warm and cool hues of each color. For primary Yellow I mixed Cadmium Yellow and Lemmon Yellow. Mixing Cadmium Red and Alizarin Crimson to create a primary Red and the Blue by mixing Phthalo Blue and French Ultramarine.
An example of why it takes two color red paints to achieve a color closer to a primary red, Cadmium Red paint is a warmer red as it has more yellow then Alizarin Crimson paint, which is a cooler red with a blue under tone. By adding them together in almost equal proportions you begin to nullify the yellow and blue in each resulting in a color that is closer to a primary red.
The idea of warm and cool color is critical to understanding color theory and practical application of paint. It is important to have a basic understanding of color theory and to spend time mixing and experimenting with the paint you are working with.
Secondary Colors
The next thing you should notice in the chart is that between the primary colors are the secondary colors. If you look between two primary colors you will see a secondary color. By mixing any two primary colors you will get a secondary color: Orange, Green, and Violet.
Here is how it works; by mixing the following primaries you will create secondary colors:
Red and Yellow (primaries) = |
Orange (secondary) |
Yellow and Blue (primaries) = |
Green (secondary) |
Blue and Red (primaries = |
Violet (secondary) |
Complimentary Colors
Another important aspect of color is to understand complimentary colors. Complimentary colors can be found on the color wheel by looking directly across from one color to the color on the opposite side of the wheel. The following are the basic complimentary color pairs:
Primary Colors |
Complimentary Colors |
Yellow |
Violet |
Blue |
Orange |
Red |
Green |
Complimentary colors are very important in painting. They can be used to increase the intensity of each other when placed side by side. An example would be orange with its complimentary blue next to it, it will look much more intense then if surrounded by white. Another important aspect is when compliments are mixed together they create rich neutrals or grays. With a small amount of one mixed with the other you can achieve shadow tones.

Art 1 and 2 Week of August 30th
Students will learn about the Principle of Art know as Contrast and its importance
Contrast is really important when you’re starting to learn how to paint.
A good knowledge of contrast in drawing helps significantly because you will have learnt the value of light and dark.
If you are coming from a non-drawing background, you will have to be more aware that to make a dramatic painting “contrast is king”, rather than trying to add a bright colour to lift the painting…
Pencil vs paint
Contrast is somehow clearer to understand in drawing because you have a white piece of paper and a dark pencil, It feels natural.
If you transfer the same level of contrast to painting it can seem daunting and the areas of dark can look too heavy. However, it’s very important to have a range of contrast in your paintings from black to white to truly show off the colours.

Drywall Relief Carving
Relief carving as a type of wood carving in which figures are carved in a flat panel of wood. The figures project only slightly from the background rather than standing freely. Depending on the degree of projection, reliefs may also be classified as high or medium relief.
Relief carving can be described as "carving pictures in wood". The process of relief carving involves removing wood from a flat wood panel in such a way that an object appears to rise out of the wood. Relief carving begins with a design idea, usually put to paper in the form of a master pattern which is then transferred to the wood surface. Most relief carving is done with hand tools - chisels and gouges - which often require a mallet to drive them through the wood.
Expressionism Art
Paintings like Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ (1888) opened our eyes to the intensity of expressive color. He used color to express his feelings about a subject, rather than to simply describe it. In a letter to his brother Theo he explained, ‘Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I see before my eyes, I use color more arbitrarily to express myself forcibly.’ His heightened vision helped to liberated color as an emotional instrument in the repertoire of 20th century art and the vitality of his brushwork became a key influence in the development of both the Fauves' and the Expressionists’ painting technique.
Students will create their own expressive work of art.
Students will not try to reproduce what they see but instead they will produce what they feel with color and design.
Decorative Art
Reverse Drawing
Using contrast in a drawing is a great way to create a Dynamic image. One way to create high contrast is to use a white medium on black paper.

Continue pastel landscapes and start Decorative Art Project
Pastel Landscapes”
Landscape drawing is a great way to teach students how to create the illusion of space. It is also a good way to introduce students to chalk or soft pastels. This lesson is great for beginning artists in a high school or middle school level.
Class Level: Art 1
Overview and Purpose: Students will review the use of several factors to create the illusion of space in a 2-D image. Students will learn to use color to create the feeling of a particular mood. Students will review the use of chalk pastels in the creation of artwork.
Materials:18” by 24” Toned paper, chalk pastels
Objectives: The student will learn the relationship between color and mood. The student will review concepts necessary for creation of the illusion of space on a 2-D surface. Students will learn the relationship between horizon, background, middleground and foreground. Students will review the successful use of chalk pastels on paper.
Decorative Art
Decorative Painting was popular in Europe in the 1880's
1.) Decorative painting celebrates pattern and ornament
2.) It challenged the divide from Art and Arts and crafts
3.) The works complimented the interiors from which they were commissioned
Students will create a decorative painting of their own for this assignment.
We will emphasis pattern design and repetition in the work.
Perspective Drawing
Students will begin a lesson on perspective drawing. Students will learn 3 kinds of Perspective.

How to Make a Burlap Wreath
What you need:
- 1 – 16″ wire wreath (You could also use an 18 inch wire wreath, but I would add at least a few more yards of burlap if you want your wreath to have a fuller appearance like mine.)
