5th- Design a Shoe

Shoe designers are fashion designers who develop original footwear for an independent label or a company. You must have a good understanding of texture, color and fashion while developing creative new concepts. You also need an extensive knowledge of shoe construction materials, the ability to identify attractive patterns through fashion trend analysis and an understanding of the fundamentals of footwear construction.

There are many shoe factories in the US alone, in fact there are over 900!

According to these stats on this website this is a thriving market in the US with lots of competition for artists and designers.

10 Sneaker Collabs

5 of the Most Expensive SB Nike Dunks

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.

5th- Robots and Doughnuts with Eric Joyner

Our next project takes a look at contemporary artist Eric Joyner and creating a metallic effect with colored pencils by blending them together.

Contemporary art is the art of today, produced by artists who are living in the twenty-first century. Contemporary art provides an opportunity to reflect on contemporary society and the issues relevant to ourselves, and the world around us.

Take a look here for more examples of contemporary art:

Pulled from Eric Joyner's website.

In 1999, I started to enter various juried shows at Artisans Gallery in Mill Valley, CA. and the work was well received. Shows in other galleries, (usually group shows) were positive as well. In 2000, after years of painting other people’s pictures, I made the decision to only paint things that I liked. Four series of paintings of different subjects were started; they were: San Francisco urbanscapes, paintings of old newspaper cartoons characters, Mexican masks, and last but not least, Japanese tin (toy) robots. Though all four series of these subjects were enjoyable to do, I chose to focus on the tin robots, as they were the most popular and seemed to have the most possibilities. So, armed with a small collection of tin robots and spaceships I began painting them in earnest. In attempt to bring them to life without losing their charm, I showed them where they belonged: outer space. By 2002 the paintings were looking good, but they still needed something to play off of… perhaps a nemesis. After a month or so of searching for a ‘nemesis’ I had an epiphany while watching the movie ‘Pleasantville.’ In one of the scenes, Jeff Daniels paints a still life of…donuts. With thoughts of Wayne Thiebaud’s pastries always close at hand, it wasn’t difficult to see the battle scene of robots retreating from 300-foot tall donuts when I went to bed that night. The rest, as they say, is history.

This video is a tutorial showing some different colors you can blend together to create some metallic textures.

Directions:

Create a robot artwork inspired by Eric Joyner.

Add donuts (or another type of sweet treat) to your robot drawings like Eric Joyner.

Create a metallic texture on your robot using the blending techniques we worked on in class.

There are many robot part examples below here for inspiration.

5th- One Point Perspective

One point perspective is a drawing method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single 'vanishing point' on the horizon line. It is a way of drawing objects upon a flat piece of paper (or other drawing surface) so that they look three-dimensional and realistic.

Drawing in one point perspective is usually appropriate when the subject is viewed ‘front-on’ (such as when looking directly at the face of a cube or the wall of building) or when looking directly down something long, like a road or railway track. It is popular drawing method with architects and illustrators, especially when drawing room interiors.

5th-Birds on a Wire Collaboration

Awesome Example of Collaboration in Art ->

The Puzzle Art Installation and Collaborative Project

This project will be a collaborative art project for all students in this class. We will take a look at creating unity and variety in a large artwork by creating birds sitting on electrical wires. Students will create at least two bird silhouettes to place on a wire, along with other birds made by fellow classmates. Students will decorate their birds using patterns and textures. After creating their birds, students will put them all together on a giant piece of paper with everyone else's birds.

Remember! A silhouette is like a shadow of a bird. Only focus on the outside edges of your birds shape. Then use patterns and textures to decorate you bird.
