Extra Project: Shading on a Toned Surface

• What’s the difference between a shade and tint?
• We will use ebony, black and white pencils to create value on brown paper.
• Color the back of your photocopy with your ebony pencil.
• Tape it to your brown paper and trace over the lines and major tonal changes. Press into the paper so the graphite transfers.
• Alternate white and black to blend them together. I apply the white pencil first, then the back one. Ms. Castor prefers to use the ebony pencil first and then the white pencil. Experiment!

Artist statement:

• In addition to your list of modifications, here are some specific ones you may use on your written artist statement:
• LEVEL 1-2: Write about your art in your native language. Rewrite it in English. If possible, have a bilingual student help edit your work.
• LEVEL 3 / LEVEL 4: Feel free to modify the written activities, and be prepared to justify the changes you have made. Example:
• My work looks like…
• The media I used was…
• My influence was…
• The meaning of my work is…
• I could improve my work or expand it by…

Modifications: Specific cases, EIPs, etc.

• Most projects are already set up for all learners, in the sense that students all students may alter any project in the way that they see fit, just as long as they work in mandatory criteria.
• Students may alter the drawing part of each lesson by simply creating realistic or abstract shapes to the best of their ability.
• Students should color or finish the project using the same media as the rest of the class, or any media they are able to.
• Alternatively, students may write about the project we are doing, what media we are using,why we are doing the project, and how they interpret and modify the project for themselves.
