2ND SEMESTER LESSONS
ZENTANGLE YIN YANG/ PEACE SYMBOL DESIGN
Students will create a 3-d illusion zentangle design on 12 x12 white paper, using the yin yang or peace symbol as the main image of the design. Students will create the main image of the yin yang, or create a peace sign with a 1" border lightly in pencil. Once this is done, students will then fill in the opposing sides of the yin yang with a contrast of black and white sharpie vs. color sharpies, or the peace sign border with one, and the negative space in between the symbol with the other combination (b/w vs. color) Students will learn how the origins of the zentangle patterns came from the desire to create designs that were soothing and calming, following the concept of Zen, and the artists involved with the production of the step by step books were looking to give simple directions on how to achieve a sense of peace and calm with the designs.
TROMPE L'OIEL DESIGNS
Students will learn about the concept of trompe l'oiel art. Trompe l’oeil is a drawing or painting in which objects are rendered in extremely fine detail to emphasize the illusion of tactile and spatial qualities. Students will observe works in this style by Pere Borrell del Caso, Jan van der Vaart, M.C. Escher, as well as other artists, including artists who are doing similar works even today. Two short youtube videos showing how today's artists are creating hyper-realistic drawings will be viewed, then students will be creating their own trompe l'oiel designs, using either paper airplanes as their main subject, or images seen through a ripped piece of paper.
