Our Rubric & Artist Statement

HOW TO FILL OUT YOUR RUBRICS AND artist statement

reflections:

DIRECTIONS: Using complete sentences, compose an Artist Statement of at least one paragraph that addresses the following components:

- What techniques did you use to develop this piece? (For example: cropping/zooming, overlapping, rotating, inverting, simplifying (merging letters), changing the font, balancing positive and negative space/shapes.)

- How did you use these techniques to make your logo successful, unique, and/or meaningful? - Discuss the planning process: How did you use thumbnail sketches (small practice sketches) to help you

come up with your design, and what adjustments did you make that helped you decide on your final design? - Were you inspired by any logos you have seen in class or everyday life? Which ones and how?- Do you feel that your logo is a good symbol for you as an individual? Why or why not? If not, how would you

design a logo that better represents you? (Did you find yourself drawn towards certain fonts or arrangements? What could these choices say about you?)- How could you use any of these skills in the future? (In art class or outside of class.)

Please use the back of this sheet to complete your reflection. A typed response is also permitted.

OBJECTIVE DESIGN STUDIO SKILLS PRESENTATION

You created a design using your initials so that they are almost unrecognizable as letters, and are seen more as a design. (5pts)

You challenged yourself to “think past” your first idea. (5pts)

You carefully arranged your letters to create a strong composition by doing at least two of the following: • cropping your letters off the

page• merging your letters together• altering the font• using negative shapes to make

your letters• inverting or rotating your

letters• overlapping your letters

At least three thumbnail sketches were made (and turned in) in preparation for your final design. (5pts)

What techniques did you use to create

this piece?

The techniques I used to create my logo design were cropping the letters off the page, zooming in on them so they seem larger, and overlapping letters. I also rotated the letter “C” and connected it to the letter “A” to make them look less like the letters and more like a design.

how did you use these techniques

I used the technique of enlarging my letters and cropping them off the edges of the page so that they would be more simple and less obvious. I feel that the techniques I used make my design more stylized - like a logo - and therefore successful.

I was inspired by the FedEx logo to pay more attention to negative space, because of how there is a hidden arrow in between the “E” and the “X.” I don’t really feel that my logo is a good symbol for me as an individual. While I think it is a successful design, it doesn’t really seem to represent my personality. I think for it to represent me, it would need to have fewer hard edges, and to have a better balance of positive and negative space, because I am friendly and try to be balanced in my life.

I could use the technique of thumbnail sketches when I plan other works of art in order to test out my ideas. I could also use the strategy of enlarging something to make my composition more interesting. Also, I could use the strategy of working through my ideas (like with my thumbnail sketches) when I plan anything: an essay, a school presentation, or any other project.
