GRAPHIC ORGANIZER ASSIGNMENT

Project 3

Part 1

Search through the 4 art movements (page 5) for inspiration and design ideas for

a new final compositional drawing. Choose three images from those specific art

movements that inspire you in terms of design mechanics and design content.

Part 2

Write a one paragraph assessment on why those particular design mechanics

and design content inspired you. Be specific in naming the key compositional

principals that that are embedded in those ideas or mechanics.

Part 3

Take the design mechanics and design content that you wrote about and come up with an original idea for a final composition. Write a one page statement of

what the idea is and what compositional foundational principals you will use.

Project 4

Students will work individually to create a Goal Pyramid in order to organize the

foundational principals of composition for their final composition. The

information will be modeled Through the 4 complete stages of the visual art

compositional process (the Goal Pyramid). The Goal Pyramid will reflect the

design aesthetics, ideas and goals that were written about in parts 2 and 3.

Project 5

Students will work with their Goal Pyramid to create a new batch of Thumbnails

(10) and Poster Studies (4) for the completion of the Final Composition (1)

(Stage 3)

GOAL PYRAMID STEPS

Step 1 is the beginning stages of compositional design this stage focuses on

Thumbnail sketches using as many foundational principals of visuals composition

that are needed (vocabulary List) Complete 5 to 10 thumbnails in order to give

yourself options

Step 2 is the intermediate stage at this point the thumbnails sketches have been

narrowed down to one design to take to the ne more complex sketches or Poster

Studies will be completed focusing in color value shape and form

Step 3 is the Final Composition at this stage the design principals of the poster

studies will be combined into one compositional drawing and this will be the final

design that the finished art will be based on

STEP 4 Final Art is part of Unit 2 Lesson

GOAL PYRAMID SCORING GUIDE There are 5 main categories with 10 sub categories directly beneath them. Each of the 10 subcategories are worth 10 points apiece.

Students will have 3 days to complete an 8.5 by 11 inch Goal pyramid. The Goal Pyramid can be

completed in a traditional or digital format.
