| Step 1
Watch the video
Violet Ashes
Workbook activity:
Notice the many creative ways of adding color to pages.
The backgrounds are mostly made with either water colour, or
diluted acrylic paint. Notice how black ink markers, paper collage, images covering two pages,
meaningful text linked to imagery, photographs, fabric,
leaves, newspapers, wool, glue, stamps and post cards
are used.
Your activity is to create two pages inspired from what
you see in the video.
Step 2
Great examples of
IB workbook pages
Notice the balance between notes and
images and how pages relate to the information in step
3.
Step 3 What do I put in
my IB workbook?
Step 4
Samples of
themes
commonly used for art making.
Some IB students find it easier to
make a series of art pieces around a theme they like.
Workbook activity:
Select an interesting object, and fill two complete
pages with six or more drawings of it from different
perspectives. Do not draw from a picture,
but rather draw from
observation
which means having your subject directly in front of you
as you draw.
Watch the video
Glass Bottle for drawing tips. Notice (1) where the pencil
is held (2) how light the drawing starts (3)
shadow on one side, and (4) value difference (from white
to black when finished)
Step 5
Excellent information
Read "How
to use the workbook" where you will find
student suggestions for what should be done in workbook pages!
Workbook activity:
For this activity, make three more pages for grading. One point
to a maximum of ten will be awarded for each suggestion
matched in the student blog.
