Reflection for Quilt

Quilt Reflection

The reason for calling this project, a quilt, is because the quilt has a legacy of telling stories. From the time of the Underground Railroad, where slaves were able to escape and find a safe place to stay, to today where we can make a quilt from t-shirts that display some of our memorable moments. This project required you to think back, look forward, take a look yourself, as well as ask others for their input. I hope you have realized that through our projects this year, I have been able to learn a lot about each and every one of you (of which, I thank you for being so honest, and so open). Art is not only about creating, but also about putting your heart into it. I hope that you have been able to also reflect on yourself and see all the amazing qualities you have to offer to the people around you. 

1.       Each section contains multiple images as well as text, list the reason why you chose those images and text.

How I See Myself

How Others See Me

The Past

The Future

Final (Album Cover)

For your final, you will design an album cover. Album covers can be expressive and convey the message of the album. Music and art go hand in hand. Although you can't judge a book by its cover, a great design can bring appeal to the actual album.
The album will be yours, not another existing artist. You are the artist, so decide on an album title. What kind of message would the music deliver? Now take that message and visually display it as the cover. The final design must include the following:

photo you have taken
text
size 8 X 8 (inches)

Instead of a reflection, you will be asked about the tools and techniques you used to complete your design. This description should cover the skills we learned this semester.

Quilts

Students will be creating four individual projects into one final piece. Each square has a specific theme.

How I see myself on the inside
How others see me on the outside
My Past
My Future

Each square must be 8 X 10, contain at least one photograph student has taken, text or words, one or more personal symbols. Create an emphasis in each square, so our eyes know where to go first. This will provide unity within the whole piece.



























 

Social Issues

A social issue (also called a social problem or a social situation) is an issue that relates to society's perception of a person's personal life. Different cultures have different perceptions and what may be "normal" behavior in one society may be a significant social issue in another society.

When choosing what issue, think about what you have an interest in or opinion on as a 

social problem. 

Students will choose a social issue that they will then create a poster, which will

portray their issue.

Getting to know one another tutorials (layer masks, clipping masks, and adustment layers)

Students will be randomly paired with a classmate. They will use the remainder of the time in class to get to know one another. The following day, they must capture their classmate in a photo, that they think depicts that person. We will use this photo in our tutorials on photoshop techiniques.

Layer Masks

Clipping Masks

Surrealism

Influenced by the theories of the pioneer of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud (German, 1856-1939), the images found in surrealist works are as confusing and startling as those of dreams. Surrealist works can have a realistic, though irrational style, precisely describing dreamlike fantasies, as in the works of René Magritte (Belgian, 1898-1967), Salvador Dalí (Spanish, 1904-1988), Yves Tanguy (French, 1900-1955), and Alfred Pellan (Canadian, 1906-1988). These artists were partly inspired by Symbolism, and partly the Metaphysical Painting of Giorgio de Chirico (Italian, 1888-1978). Or, it could have a more abstract style, as in the works of Joan Miró (Spanish, 1893-1983), Max Ernst (German, 1891-1976), and André Masson (French, 1896-1987), who invented spontaneous techniques, modeled upon the psychotherapeutic procedure of "free association" as a means to eliminate conscious control in order to express the workings of the unconscious mind, such as exquisite corpse.

Students will randomly select three nouns that they must then compose in their project, while including at least one photo they have taken on their own. Students will also learn about layer masks, of which they must then incorporate into their project.

Example: giraffe, beats, az state fair

Program Design

Students will be designing programs for Cesar Chavez High School. The four different designs include the following; Senior Portfolio Poster, Senior Portfolio Program, Senior Graduation, and Academic Excellence Breakfast.
These programs must be a "school themed" project, and follow our graphic design guidelines. The student that is chosen will have their work professionally printed for the corresponding program.

First Hour will be designing The Academic Excellence Breakfast Program

2nd Hour will be designing the Senior Portfolio Show Program

7th Hour will be designing the Graduation Program

8th Hour will be designing the Senior Portfolio Show Poster

Please refer back to our Graphic Design Tips, and remember you can use any skills and techniques we have learned thus far this year. You may want to try using an advanced setting to capture a unique picture of the school.
