Grade 9 Summative ProjectName: ______________________________30% of semester markGrids and value matching (10% of the semester mark)Animal drawing (20% of the semester mark)Task:You will first complete two small grid enlargements and a value-matching exercise. Then you will choose a photograph of an animal from the pictures provided in class. You will enlarge and reproduce this animal picture, and shade it in, matching values and textures as accurately as possible.You will see several examples of previous student’s work so that you have an idea of what this will look like.Proportion of semester’s marks: Your summative project is worth 30% of your total mark for the semester. The term marks are worth 70%.Two parts of the Summative assignment:The summative assignment will be divided into two parts. Part 1:The first part will include accurately enlarging two separate small drawings using two styles of grids, and it will also include enlarging and shading one section of an animal photograph. These three small tasks will count for a third of the summative mark; that is, 10% of your total mark.Part 2:Once you have completed these you will choose a black and white photograph of a different animal from the selection provided for you, and then enlarge that picture and then shade it, matching values and textures. This drawing is 20% of your semester marks.Part 1: Two Small Grid drawings and one section of an animal You will be given a small cartoon drawing and you will use a square grid to enlarge that drawing. Accuracy is essential to get a reasonable mark, so pay attention to where you are in the grid. Put numbers and letters on the columns and the rows so you don’t get “lost. you have completed that you will get a second grid drawing with a diagonal or “criss-cross” grid. Once again enlarge this drawing accurately.Diagonal Grid: , you will be given a small section of a photograph of an animal. Enlarge this onto the good copy paper and shade it to match the textures and values. Use your value scale to help you match the values. All the small sections will be put together to create one large animal picture.Do not outline the features or details. Just use the value to create the edges. An eraser can create the “white” lines of whiskers or fur.Matching one section:You will get just one section of a collaborative drawing. Each student will complete their section and then they will be put all together to complete one large drawing. example shows one section of an animal drawing that looks as if it is still to be finished. This drawing was done by art students who had no idea what or who they were drawing. The students were guided through this process by an art teacher in Virginia. She has done a series of “mystery drawings” which are worth checking out! Part 2: Your Animal Drawing: (20% 0f your semester mark)You will have a choice of an animal photograph to draw. You may not choose your own photograph, as the ones you can choose from in class have been selected to have strong contrasts in values, good textural detail and good composition to ensure that you have the chance to be very successful.You first need to create a grid on your photograph and then draw a grid that is twice the size on your rough copy paper. Carefully draw in the outlines and make sure you have drawn in all the key features and details. Areas of strong contrast need to be added too. you have drawn your complete outline, go over the outlines in a black marker. Put this drawing under your good paper. If you can see the outlines easily then just keep the rough copy paper attached while you shade the details. If it is hard to see, VERY LIGHTLY (butterfly weight) draw in the outline faintly using the light table to help you. Then erase all signs of your outline as you shade.You then need to shade the animal using your shading pencils. You need your 2B, 4B and 6B pencils. The background also needs to be shaded completely and evenly.Use the pressure blending technique, not wind-shield wiper style of shading, to make sure that the shading is even without any direction in the lines.DO NOT SMUDGE your work, just use light shading for the grey areas.Do not draw outlines on your good copy. Seeing the outline is like a magician giving away the secrets to the trick. It spoils the magic. work is by Lisa Keilhofer: Frog and close-up of the eye from: takes time to do a good job. Be patient and stay on task. You have enough time to do this if you use class-time wisely.Place a piece of paper under your shading hand so that you don’t smudge your work with the back of your hand.Make sure you keep your shading pencils sharp.Get a portfolio case or put together two pieces of cardboard to act as a portfolio so you can take your work home to get some of it done there. Art work should not be creased or folded! Keep it in perfect shape.To make your own portfolio case: You can get two pieces of foam-core board or cardboard or canvas board (shown in this picture), and tape them together at the bottom. Remember to allow enough space for them to fold together. Tape on the inside too so that the tape does not stick to your art work. Add a handle. you can buy one if you think that you’ll be continuing on in art. A 20” x 26” case is about $36 We have a limited number of portfolio cases at school, for loan on a first-come, first-serve basis. ................
