For your last Art Piece can you have total creative freedom to complete the Drawing / Painting / Sculpture of your choice.  There is also the option of creating a painted Mural within the school.  Just as with other pieces this semester, you will have to provide planning - in this case in order to receive confirmation to go ahead with the work.  Please include the following in your sketchbook:
  • A minimum of 4 pages of planning for the piece (this MUST include the following....)
  • Notes and rough sketches explaining your IDEA / CONCEPT in both written / visual form
  • A "to-scale / proportional" detailed drawing of your concept, in colour (for example a 9x12' wall = 9x12" drawing)
  • Swatches / samples of colours and / or materials you plan to use
  • Any references / resources that are helping with your design

NOTE: IF you are doing a Mural, please consider the message and aesthetic value that your art piece intends to bring to our school community.  What legacy / message do you want to leave with the school?

Art Piece Instructions:
Planning is due early in this process to allow for development of this final work over the course of two full months.  Time management of this project with be discussed in class.  You will be expected to begin the project after receiving approval of your plans.  The final THREE weeks of the semester will e dedicated studio time for this piece, but DO NOT wait until that time to begin.  The final work is to demonstrate a culmination of all you have learned over the past 4 years in our Art Program!
