You have 2 things to do while I am taking attendance today.
Critiques will be loose and informal as we give feedback on the design. First the artist will explain the stage of production (finished? not?) and explain the meaning and surrealism technique used or plan to be used.
As a group, we will give feedback on photorealism, balance, and unity.
Time to work....keep working on Surrealism, whether it is to revise based on what you heard or to creating to completion, use the rest of your time to the fullest.
Don't forget your wrapup! All pre-edited images with an explanation of your piece AND your process in making it.

Download the file below. I highly recommend you immediately upload it into your folder then open it as a google doc. It will prevent you from losing information if you forget to save before closing. Answer thoughtfully. This could be the answer to your next project!
brainstorming_questions.docx | |
File Size: | 7 kb |
File Type: | docx |
- Surrealism Slideshow
- Erik Johansson TED Talk
- Techniques of Surrealism Slideshow
Time to brainstorm and collect images.
TIPS TO GET STARTED:
- Look through the Links for inspiration on the Internet Resources page. View a couple time lapse videos.
- Look at the Surrealism techniques in the pdf or slideshow and decide which one you might be most interested in using.
- Decide what part 'about you' that you want to illustrate.
Do an Advanced Image Search in Google, or use Pixabay, Pics4learning, or Creative Commons. You need to grab pics that are licensed 'free to use or modify'. Look at image sizes (1000+ for pixels) You will need url addresses for the Wrap Up, (psssssttt, start a Google Doc now!), so get those too!
Think symbolically to tell your story! Surrealism is NOT a literal meaning. What images/objects can you find that will carry meaning towards your theme? How will you symbolically explain something about you?
You will get the Design Checklist and Rubric tomorrow. Use this time to brainstorm and collect as many images as you can.

Bellwork: Title it, "Symbolism"
Your last project will be heavy with symbolism! The best way to be able to produce it is to be able to read it!
Many times artists will express their message to the audience through symbolism. (Objects or colors that can be interpreted to have a different meaning than they usually do. For example, a mouse in this picture has a different meaning than it might have if it were trapped under a cat's paw. If the objects or colors are used correctly, paired with other items that help as additional clues, the hidden meaning is correctly expressed to the audience.)
Analyze the image below for meaning. In your entry, explain what it might mean using specific details from the image to support your answer. Be prepared to share your answer with the group.

Bellwork: Title your entry "Blend modes #2"
You have a photograph that is overexposed, way too light. You decide to make a copy of the original layer and change the blend mode to multiply. It helps, but needs to be darker so you make another copy, changing the blend mode to multiply again. However, you have now lost all the details in the some of the shadows. They are way too dark.
In your entry, describe how to fix this problem. (There is more than one solution to this problem.)

Analyze the image. In our blend modes practice, we made copies of the original picture then changed the blend mode to Multiply, Screen, or Overlay.
In your journal entry tell which blend mode should be applied to 'fix' the picture.
(Your goal would be to get a good range of values from the whitest white to the blackest black without bleaching out the details in the whites and losing the details in shadows)
Download the jpegs below and open them in Photoshop. If you were absent today OR need a refresher, here are tutorials related to what we will cover.

Now practice using Blend modes to 'fix' the jpeg below. Use what modes you think are necessary as many layers as you think are necessary. You may need to use layer masks so that certain areas are darkened and others are lightened. (Don't forget the beauty of gray on a layer mask OR changing the opacity of your brush.)
Your final JPEG should have a full range of white to dark, with good details in each. Show Mrs. Jones for credit when you are done.

Your 'Spot the Differences' will have:
1. Both "A" and "B" images on one canvas like the example side by
side OR they could be stacked one on top and the other below it. As
long as they are on one canvas.
2. At least 6 changes made to image "B"
3. Changes to Image "B" must include (at least one of each. You need
6 changes altogether):
paintbrush in a color that contrasts with the image.
5. Make a new folder INSIDE your Digital Design folder and
upload the psd file, the Puzzle Jpeg, and the Answer key Jpeg.
You want to make this both solvable and challenging for your peers. Changing a blade of grass doesn't really seem fair. Making Captain Obvious changes is boring.
Here is an amazing example created by a student that is both challenging but completely solvable.

Congratulations to the top 6 designs as voted by your peers. These designs will be sent on to the police department for their final decision on the flyer to be used throughout our school and community.
Artists: Don't panic if the colors seem off here! Remember, this is a CMYK version placed on a RGB screen format :) Also, I will be meeting with each of you for a final critique to avoid typos or grammar errors before sending them on.
Once again! Congratulations! These designs are a great representation of the concepts we've studied and the artistic eyes we are developing! You rock!!!

No Bellwork! Keep in mind the tips from yesterday. Review the CRAP principles as you create. Get feedback from those close to you.
Things to do:
- Does Contrast make the most important text/image stand out?
- Did you Repeat elements of your design to unify it? (font, colors, shapes, graphic styles)
- Is your layout clean? Does your text line up with itself and other major edges in pictures?
- Is your information sorted and separated? Organized? White space?

TIPS TO CONSIDER FOR YOUR FLYER:
Notice in the Retro Design by Paris there is a nice margin between the text and the edge. Notice in the Tumbling Table by Josh how the images going off the edge helps with the design layout.
- Step back from your computer and look at it from a distance. How does it read? Is it balanced? Is it eye catching?
- Watch the edge of your art boards with the text. Keep a healthy margin....don't squish the text right up against the edge. It'll suffocate :-P
- Don't be afraid to have your images break the boundary of the art board and go off the edge. It may help create more 'white space' and give it a more open feel.

Copy the following into your journal. Analyze the image below to help you answer the questions.
Bellwork: Title your entry, "Menu critique warm up"
Copy the following into your journal. Analyze the image below to help you answer the questions.
- Contrast-Where do you see Contrast in this design? Does it need to be edited to be more effective? What would you suggest?
- Repetition- What elements (shapes, colors, fonts, etc.) are repeated in this design in order to unify the whole composition? Does it need to be edited? What would you suggest?
- Alignment- Think grids! Did the designer line up text and images in a way that there are clean lines and organization throughout? Does it need to be edited? What do you suggest?
- Proximity- Is the information grouped/categorized? Are the groups separated by 'white space' to make them look isolated? Does it need to be edited? What would you suggest?
- Color Unity- Does the color scheme match the style of the restaurant?
- Hierarchy of Text- Look for the level one, level two, and level three text. Is the most important information the first thing to catch your eye? How did the artist achieve that? Does it need to be edited? What would you suggest?
When you are done with your Journal Entry, you have three things to do to show me you are ready to move on.....
- You need something to write with....
- Get TWO critique sheets from the register by the window. PUT YOUR NAME AT THE TOP OF ALL THREE.
- Have your menu illustrator file open on your desktop WHETHER IT IS FINISHED OR NOT!

- Name of the restaurant
- Address and phone number of restaurant
- Types of meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Dessert)
- Descriptions of each dish.
- Cost of each dish.
- At least one Illustrator created image for each category. The colors and style of graphic you create should also match the ‘theme’ of your restaurant.

Bellwork: Title your entry, "Article Notes"
Open Modification Argument Article and begin to read. Be ready to discuss whole group. (Check out the comments too!)
Copy and Paste at least two pieces of information from the article OR the comments that you think is interesting enough to share in a discussion. Make sure you understand the context of those facts so that you sound smart if I ask you any questions about it :)
Modification 'Monster' assignment
Choose from one of these three images to use as a basis for a design in Illustrator. You can Pen Trace, Image Trace, or try to recreate it from observation. However, you must change the image enough so that it is no longer recognizable as the original, just changing the fill color or adding gradient is not enough. Keep a key feature and change the rest.
Add/subtract/modify paths, use the pathfinder panel to unite shapes, add effects/textures, rearrange viewpoint, create new/different details, add/subtract/modify features on the creatures, use only the outline, change the space around the creature,......the list of possibilities is HUGE when talking about modifying.
Can you modify it enough so that the artist could not recognize it as his/hers?

Bellwork: Title it, "Levels 1-3"
Copy and paste the following info into your journal AND the blue prompt at the bottom:
Analyze the example below. (If you get stuck, look at the links posted last Thursday for more information.)
List an example of each Level of text found in this poster. Be ready to share your answers in whole group.
Level 1-
Level 2-
Level 3-
Copy and paste the following info into your journal AND the blue prompt at the bottom:
- Level One: Generally, your level-one typography will be the most important content or information; this should be the most immediately visible typographic element in your design, most likely a title.
- Level Two: Level-two elements usually help organize your design into sections or group related information together. They shouldn’t stand out as much as your level-one type, but should clearly direct viewers to the different parts of the design and help them navigate it easily, most likely subheadings.
- Level Three: For a text-heavy layout, the level-three typography is generally the meat of the design. This is where the copywriting lives, where you get into the message of your design. It could be long or short — a whole article, a short note, a brief description — but the primary concern for this level is that it’s easy to read, since the font size will likely be somewhat small.
Analyze the example below. (If you get stuck, look at the links posted last Thursday for more information.)

Bellwork: Title it "Compound Paths"
Copy and Paste the definition of Compound Paths below:
Instead of a single path outlining the shape, there is also one or more paths inside the shape along the edge of a 'cutout'. Compound paths let you use an object to cut a hole in another object. For example, you can create a doughnut shape from two nested circles. Once you create a compound path, the paths act as grouped objects.

Bellwork: Go to your Google Drive and click on Shared With Me. I shared the slideshow of all of the Representational Designs. If you have been critiqued, I made your jpeg small and under your name. If I found a final version in your folder, I placed it large on your slide next to your original. IF YOU HAVE FINISHED REVISING YOUR REPRESENTATIONAL DESIGN AND YOU DO NOT SEE A FINAL VERSION JPEG ON YOUR SLIDE, PUT IT THERE! You must also have your .ai file in your Google Folder for me to look at your layers in order to receive a grade.

No critiques today! Demonstrations taking place for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students respectively.
Demonstration/Explanation of Pen Tool 4 Artboards Assignment
In order to get completely comfortable with the Pen tool, we will do a series of small assignments. These assignments are meant to get you familiar with the tool, learn all of it's shortcuts, and prepare you for the next creative project. BEWARE: The pen tool can get frustrating so we are going to take it slow! Be patient with yourself as it doesn't work as a pencil or paintbrush. It can feel quirky at first.
To begin, download the file below. It has FOUR different assignments on one artboard. You HAVE to watch the video in order to learn the shortcuts or you're doomed! Information from the video will show up in future bell works and be critical to your success in future assignments and projects!

- Download the file.
- Watch the video to a good stopping point...at the end of a row, at the end of a 'page', it's up to you. DO NOT TRY TO WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO IN ONE SITTING! Your brain will cramp, your eyes will glaze, and you won't remember anything.
- Make sure you save occasionally and look to where it is saving to....you don't want to have to start ALL over again. If you do not finish in one day, check to see what the time stamp is on the video before you exit so that you can pick up in the same spot tomorrow.
- When you have completed all 4 'pages' call me over for credit. I WANT TO SEE THIS AS AN .AI FILE! This is a one hundred point assignment! IF YOU SAVE IT AS A JPEG AND CHECKMARK 'USE ARTBOARDS', IT WILL ONLY SAVE THE FIRST PAGE!!! DO NOT CHECK 'USE ARTBOARDS' WHEN YOU EXPORT AS A JPEG!!!

Open your Google Journal Doc and title it "Blending Words"
Screenshot it and paste into your journal.
Things to do:
- Open your Illustrator File and type two words that relate to each other in some way. (Some fonts don't play nice, so if your blend doesn't work, you may have to try a different one.)
- Use the Blending tool to make the 'blend' into each other. Feel free to play with stroke color too! (Tips for success....do not make the words in the same text box or in a text box at all. Simply click on the artboard with the Text tool. Make sure BOTH are selected. Make sure you are on "Specified steps or distance". Ctrl + Alt + B is the keyboard shortcut for Blend > Make.)

- Download and open the file below.
There are nine apples on the artboard. Select one at a time and modify it using one of the Photoshop Effects from the Effects menu. (Go to Effects > Photoshop Effects....there are nine different options-Artistic, Blur, Distort, Pixelate, Sketch and more, plus many options within each heading.)
Use this time to experiment with the adjustments of any of the effects you choose to explore. This is a great time to see what is available and what it does.
Be sure to click 'Preview' as you modify. Use the Type tool to label each apple to show what effect you used on each. Believe me, you won't remember when you go back and use this as a resource. Label it for credit! Each apple should look different as shown in the example above.
Once completed, export as a JPEG (Check Use Artboards) OR take a screenshot and insert it into your Google Journal Doc with the entry dated.

What happens when you hold the shift key down when opening a symbol or text? (If you were absent yesterday or don't remember, open Illustrator and try it with and without holding the Shift key down.)
- Quick demo on symbol sprayer options
- Explanation of Boutique Assignment
- YOUR BOUTIQUE SALE AD will NOT look exactly like the examples. How can you use what you know about Asymmetrical Balance in a Design to make the flyer look interesting? Placement, Font, Color will play a big role in this. Think Variety of sizes. You don't want your paper to look like wallpaper, all the same sized symbols and font. Which symbols and font should be bigger and capture more attention and which could be smaller? Think balance of visual weight! Distribute the weight using one or more of the techniques we discussed yesterday!

Digital Design Pretest-WAIT FOR DEMO!
“Congratulations on your band making it BIG! Now you need to get a cover ready for your band’s debut album. For this Challenge you will be using Photoshop, Illustrator, PowerPoint or Google Slides to create a cover for your Band’s new album. Use the software that you are most comfortable for design.
Album Quickfire Activity (Created by Sean Leahy - MSU MAET Program)
Directions:
1 – Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first randomWikipedia article you get is the name of your band. It can be one of the words from the article title or a couple or all of them....it's up to you. TYPE YOUR BAND NAME IN YOUR JOURNAL SO YOU DON'T FORGET IT!
2 – Go to Phrase Generator.com and select one of the categories to create a random phrase. The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album. (You can choose from that set of words....your title might be only one or two words...) TYPE YOUR ALBUM NAME IN YOUR JOURNAL SO YOU DON'T FORGET IT!
3 – Go to Unsplash Random Photos or to Pixabay Editor's Choice and
choose a picture to be your album cover photo. SAVE THE IMAGE TO YOUR DESKTOP.
4 – Choose a design program. You are welcome to use Illustrator, Photoshop, or Google Slides or PowerPoint. However, only use a program you can operate without major assistance. If you are not comfortable and/or independent with the Adobe programs, don't use them. You'll get there later. (We may not have them installed yet, check in the startup window.)
5. PAY ATTENTION TO DESIGN !!! This is where you show me your artistic eye before any teaching takes place. Your choice of pics, fonts, colors, and placement will tell me a lot.
6. A Google Folder has been shared with you. When you are done, save your image as a jpeg and upload it to that folder. MAKE SURE YOU TITLE IT "LAST NAME, FIRST NAME"
If you 'starred' your folder, just go to Google Drive and click 'Starred' on the left hand side. If you did not, right click on your folder and 'Add Star'. It will make your life easier :)
