Leonardo Da Vinci • You will write a 3 page research paper (by hand in the DWB book) about the life and the work of Leonardo Da

Vinci. (Hint: type it up on the computer first and then hand write it in the book…let spell check help you) • In this paper you will research:

o In at least one paragraph tell me what is the Renaissance Period? o Leonardo Da Vinci the artist

Who he was? When and where was he born? Why was he is famous? He was more than a artist, he was also an inventor and a scientist….What were some of his

inventions and why/how is he considered to be a scientist? What was his work ethic like?

o His Artwork (Print a picture of each of the artworks off the internet and paste it in your IWB) 1. The last Supper 2. The Mona Lisa 3. Madonna of the Rocks

• What I need to know about each piece (After each picture write the following info) o Why did he make the work? o What made the work unique? o What type of artwork is it….be specific and explain the process. (for example, if it

is a fresco I want you to tell me what a fresco is and how one is made) o When was the artwork made? What is the material it is made out of?

Facial Features • You are going to draw 4 (or more) pages of 15 noses, 15 ears, 15 eyes, and 15 mouths • You will need:

o A Magazine (Beauty magazines work well because of the large, close up pictures) o Your DWB BOOK

• You will open up a magazine and look for pictures of noses, mouths, lips, and eyes. Cut out the facial feature and paste it to a page in your DWB. To the best of your ability, draw a reproduction of the facial feature right next to the magazine cut out.

• These will not be quick sketches scribbled in the book • If you spend quality time on the first few drawings, and really pay attention to the detail, you will get faster and faster

at drawing the features with better and better quality each time. • Try to do 4-5 drawings a day

o Try to keep all the same type of facial features grouped together Concentrate on detail, shading, fine lines, and reflections on the eye…I want to see every little detail

One Page Reflection Answer the following questions:

1. How have you shown that you understand what you have researched? 2. When drawing your facial features what were your problems?

a. How did you attempt to solve them? 3. When drawing your facial features what seemed to be successful?

Due:

a. What did you do to make it successful? 4. Leonardo da Vinci did a lot of studies of art, science and studies of the human form. How does this relate to

lessons you have to create and follow in the DWB. The Gradation Shapes:

• Reproduce the Shapes on the back of the page using the correct/correlating technique • Once Finished cut out and paste each shape in the DWB

The Gradation Scales:

• In each Gradation Scale reproduce the correct technique and put it in your DWB

Color Wheel: • Students will complete the color wheel with the appropriate colors • Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colors are identified

Parabolic Curve Reflection Questions: Paste this or rewrite this in your DWB

1. How am I manipulated by what I see in my Parabolic Curve? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. What were your successes on the Parabolic Curve? Explain your answer. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. If you were to do it over what would you do different? Why? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

4. You’re going to be starting Activate the Void (the toothpick sculpture). Take a look at them hanging around the room. How do you think the Parabolic Curve relates to active the void. Explain your answer using at least 3 of the Elements of Design.

Remember: 1. I don’t take late work…or any excuses!

2. Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

3. If you do not come to me for help, how am I supposed to help you?

Cut out an eye from a magazine, glue it in your DWB and draw the eye right next to it. Do this 15 times with 15 different eyes.

Example Example Example Example Example

Cut out an ear from a magazine, glue it in your DWB and draw the ear right next to it. Do this 15 times with 15 different ears.

Example Example Example Example Example Example

Cut out a nose from a magazine, glue it in your DWB and draw the nose right next to it. Do this 15 times with 15 different noses.

Example Example Example Example Example Example

Cut out a mouth from a magazine, glue it in your DWB and draw the mouth right next to it. Do this 15 times with 15 different mouths.

Example Example Example Example Example Example Example

Using the student example reproduce the following shapes using the assigned technique.

3 cylinders • 1 blended • 1 crosshatched • 1 stippled

3 cubes • 1 blended • 1 crosshatched • 1 stippled

3 spheres • 1 blended • 1 crosshatched • 1 stippled

Complete the following gradation/value scales, use the appropriate technique to complete the scale Blending (smooth, clean, shading)

Stippling (only tiny controlled dots, NO chicken scratches)

Crosshatching (must be the 4 straight lines discussed in class: diagonal left-right, diagonal right-left, up-down and side-side)

Example of how the research on Leonardo da Vinci must look. Have strong bold headlines and use color if you want. Insert a picture of the artist. You must write by hand in book.

Don’t let your pictures of artwork get to big. Don’t let them take up too much space. No bigger than the ones I show here Get in a picture of every artwork and invention you write about. Make the book look nice with clean writing and good composition.

Color in the Color Wheel using the appropriate color. On the line write down it’s category, Primary, Secondary or Tertiary (Intermediate)
