Learning Target: SWBAT... distinguish between non-objective art and abstract art by identifying certain artwork.

1. Warm-up:  Which one of these is NOT non-objective?

Which one of these is the best composition? WHY?

2. Sketchbook # 7: DUE FRIDAY MARCH 28th        Gum wrapper non-objective art:
   I will give you each ONE piece of gum with a shiny foil wrapper. Your assignment is to peel off the foil and stick it on to a page in your sketchbook to create a non-objective work of art. You will need to add other media to the page to make it a complete work of art. You may choose what other materials you use (magazine, pencil, black marker, stickers, etc). It must be non-objective!!!! You may add more gum wrapper peelings too, but you need to provide them. Your image must take up a whole page in your sketchbook! Focus on COMPOSITION!!!!! balance, movement, contrast, emphasis, etc.
Do NOT bend the wrapper too much, don't crumple it. Place the wrapper on a flat surface and scratch it with your nail as you press down on it. Once a little piece of the foil starts to peel off, not the white paper underneath, grab it and try to slowly peel a larger piece off. Continue peeling the foil off until the wrapper is only a thin piece of white paper. Press the foil piece down on your sketchbook paper with the back of your nail so it sticks. No glue needed!!

3. Work Time!!

4. SAVE!!!! Surrealism projects are due!!! TURN STORY AND IMAGE IN.
