Sketch
Sketches can be fun and or loose indicators that don't require great
artistic ability to:
describe a physical phenomenon;
capture ideas from other people's work.
In this case a sketch of a photograph by Debbie Fleming Caffery,
"Smoke Walking", 1989, Patoutville, Louisiana
seen in the Museum of Photographic
Arts, San Diego.
Visualizing Use to see the description of physical structures,
places, spatial relationships, concrete objects, abstract concepts,
or visual images.
Thumbnails represent scaled down versions of a final composition. For a project where the final size is 9" x 12", thumbnails might be approximately 2" x 2-2/3", large enough to show some detail, but small enough to work quickly.
Thumbnails enable you to make decisions about how you wish to present your content without investing a lot of time.
Make sure your thumbnails have the same proportions as the final composition.
Include all of the elements - images, text, and other graphic devices that will make up the final composition.
Keep in mind that even though thumbnails help you make decisions, changing scale to full size often changes the final layout.
Teachers - Make sure you check out the Assignments section which provides exercises, projects, support resources, and rubrics.
Historical and Cultural Context - provides an overview of art movements and the context in which they developed. We have not covered every movement or period, rather selected snippets to help provide students with an opportunity to explore the elements that have influenced other artists in their quest for expressing personal voice. As with all of our work, this site remains a work in progress.
