“3-D Doodle Collage”9/26/2012

First step:• DRAWING!– You will spend 4+ class periods developing a doodle

on the recycled file folder provided to you. • You should use the “blind contour” drawings as a starting

point.– The finished work will be in pen/sharpie/marker– Some of the areas should be extremely detailed,

other areas can be more spread out– Allow your mind to wander. Write, draw, scribble

while you are thinking.– Use textures, lines and line weights to create

interest.

Second Step:

• “Deconstruct” your doodle to choose the best parts for your composition.– Cut & tear it apart

• You can always make more drawings to add a– You can add photocopies, newspaper, fabric etc

Collage: design created by attaching mostly flat elements to a surface.

Third Step

• Re-assemble your selected doodle pieces into a Shadow Box/Diorama

• Create a 3-D “scene” that is strange, beautiful & personal that incorporates 4+ “levels”

• You can bring in your own container for the box or build your own.– Other materials: cardstock, glue, markers,

watercolor paint, ink pens.

a principle of art; strong differences within an artwork to create interest

Contrast

You’ll be graded on:

• 3-D Composition:– “Emphasizing” an area in your Shadow Box– Use “negative space” (everything shouldn’t be

jumbled together. Free space to breathe.)– Overlapping Shapes

• Creativity of imagery/doodle• Craftsmanship: how well it’s made• Participation/Cooperation: Daily progress– Time Frame: 8-9 class periods

Now

• Turn in your Vocab/Concepts books for check in.

• Begin creating 1 or more “doodles” that use free drawing & collaged materials– (photocopies, bits of paper etc).

• Think about what kid of container you want to build (or bring in) out of paper/cardboard
