8th- Pondering Plumbing Possibilities
For this project, you will be creating a complex arrangement of pipes to show depth and value in an artwork. You will be using shading, value, and contour lines to help create the feeling of depth in your artwork.
DIRECTIONS:
Take a look at the worksheet above before you begin.
In your sketchbook, practice creating 4 pipe shapes with shading and contour lines added. You may use the same 4 pieces that are at the bottom of the worksheet.
After you have practiced 4 shapes and are comfortable making the pipe shapes, you may get a 12x18 piece of paper to begin your final artwork.
Your final artwork should be a complex network of pipes. There should be at least 3 layers of depth in your pipework and it should fill the page. You may add extra details, like knobs, regulator valves, leaks, and any other pipe related details you can think of. Your pipes need to be in color and have full value work to show depth.
6th-Kawaii Art Doodles
Often mentioned alongside anime and manga, kawaii refers to a cultural style that incorporates bright, pastel colors and childlike imagery. In Japanese, the word kawaii has a meaning that sits more or less at the juncture of "cute," "tiny," or "lovable." The cute aesthetic—with its bold, nearly cartoon-like lines and rounded forms—informs a large segment of Japanese popular culture. As scholar Joshua Paul Dale writes, "[kawaii] communicates the unabashed joy found in the undemanding presence of innocent, harmless, adorable things."
The most famous example of kawaii culture is probably Hello Kitty, the ubiquitous white feline character whose image emblazons an ever-expanding range of products and accessories. The character was commissioned by a company called Sanrio, founded by Shintaro Tsuji, in 1974, with a plastic coin purse as the first product bearing the image. Now Hello Kitty is found on everything from backpacks to food trucks to duct tape to kitchen appliances to adult toys. Even though the character was originally intended for preteen girls, its limitless branding has pushed it into essentially every demographic and business sectors that have nothing to do with childhood.
But kawaii is about more than just fashion. It's often about endowing seemingly mundane things with personality..........Click to finish the article.

You will create two parodies of a famous classic artwork for your project this week.

DIRECTIONS
For your project you will be designing a 3d shoe based on the Nike SB Dunk. You will be given the basic template and you will choose how to create your shoe.
You may use a brand that exists or. you may come up with your own brand and logo for your shoe.
YOUR SHOE NEEDS TO BE BASED ON SOME KIND OF THEME- (Mario, Basketball, Chess, Skittles, anything you can think of!)
You will completely color your shoe, cut it out, and fold it to create a 3d mockup of your shoe design. You will then add shoelaces using one of the many types of thread that I have.
