In completing my process binder, I have chosen to show slides from my final video which show one example of how I portrayed one decade of music, fashion, and my explanation of the relationship between the two, as seen in the images.  I also included my introductory page.  The final video was so rewarding and I am so satisfied with my final product.  I also included my graph which allowed me to find the most popular modern music, as well as the slide which finally depicted my final sketches which I showed during the video! I am very proud of my work on this project and hope I can use this information for future endeavors.

Process Binder Check-In 4: This depicts my final research stages, and recent info I have found regarding the popular music types in America in order to predict the next fashion trend.  I have found various images and music styles, as well as songs for the final version of the video, which show the transformation of music and fashion over time.

I made a new, larger sketch to help me get a better idea of the shadow shapes I will create for the final product. My sketch started off with more detailed shadow shapes, but as I progressed I made a conscious effort to draw the shapes bigger and more block-y so that they can be easier to manipulate for the final portrait. I will continue to work on making larger, easier-to-work-with shadow shapes. Also, since I intend to apply the interchangeable shadow shapes only to the face, I might make the hair and clothing more delicate and expressionist. 

The process of offering and receiving feedback one-on-one with Anna was incredibly insightful but also oddly nerve-wracking. It’s hard to give advice on a work that is personal to you. Anna recommended that when I go about creating the final portrait, I should trace the shadow shapes so that the process becomes more like an assembly line. I learned that the larger the shadow shapes, the easier assembly will be for me. Also, it will make it easier for the viewer to interact with the piece.

Process Binder Check in #3. In this, you can find my research up to the 1980’s. In addition to this, there is the written feedback from my critical response feedback process. I will use this info for the rest of my project.

Over President’s Day weekend, I collected the bulk of my materials that I will use to complete my portrait. I’m excited to work with acrylic paints again after two years. I’m a little nervous that the Bristol paper will be too thin for the paper plate material I’m going to use for the shadow shapes. My plan is to mount the finished portrait on a larger canvas panel, on which I will add the Instagram features.

Learning Agreement 1

[sophiescapstone]

First Lesson idea

 The image below: Mediterranean Landscape, 1953 by Pablo Picasso 

Students would identify and label 5 different angles in the art using a protractor.  Students would create their own geometric artwork with at least 5 different angles. 

4th grade Geometry 

CCSS: Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles.  (This is the fourth grade geometry domain.)

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.1 (This is the first standard under the domain.) Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.

Anchor Stnadard#7: Perceive and analyze artistic work. 

Anchor Standard#8: Interpret and meaning in artistic work. 

Anchor Standard#9: Apply criteria to evaluate artistic work.

Objectives:

SWBAT analyze both artistic and mathematic features in a painting, see art as both visual and mathematical, and create designs in their own artwork by measuring and drawing angles.

Identifiers: Students will identify angles in a picture. Students will measure angles with a protractor. Students will use angles to create their own art.

These are three preliminary sketches for my final capstone project that I completed over winter break. I like to start with basic ideas and get more detailed from there. I would like to do at least another 2 sketches to help me get a better understanding of how I will map out the large, abstract shadow shapes.
