Letter Practice Part 1

Start today by practicing DRAWING letters by mimicking the style on each line on page 23 in your Art 6 Notebook

Designers use typography to:

Typography

• communicate

• make designs that are easy to read when conveying information

• choose different types of styles to communicate a mood or enhance an idea

• these styles are called typefaces

The art of designing and arrangeing typed text.

Typeface

A typeface is the name of a collection of letters, numbers, and symbols that share a style.

• Times New Roman
• Arial
• Comic Sans
• Impact
• Open Sans
• Old English Text

CLICK the image above to see the examples of typefaces full screen

Font

A font is a typeface with a particular size and weight. The size is indicated in points. The weight refers to how thick or thin the letters are. This can include:

• book
• condensed
• regular
• bold

CLICK the image above to see the examples of fonts full screen

Hand-Lettering

Hand-lettering is creating letters and words as art forms. Hand-lettering is different from a typeface because the artist creates each letter individually, as a part of the larger image or text. Notice how there are two "Ls" in "hall." Although they are drawn differently, they fit equally in the text as a whole.

Parts of Letters

There are three different types of letter forms in typefaces or fonts.

tohand-lettering

The skeleton

The skeleton of the letter is the simple, single-line shape of a letter. It determines how tall, short, wide, or narrow the final design will be.

The body

The body of the letter is the overall, finished shape with its final thinness or thickness.

Drawing a skeleton

The artist will show you how to draw the letter "h" with a variety of skeleton drawings.

Step 1.

Choose a word

You will create a word artwork. Choose any word you would like. Here are some choices.

If you come up with your own word, be sure that it is school-appropriate and that you can represent it through typography.

What word would you like to use to give it a voice?

Step 2.

Create a skeleton for your word

Sketch your word lightly in case you make mistakes. Make sure they have enough space on the page for your word and designs.

Think about the meaning of the word you chose and design the letters that help reflect the meaning of the word.

Step 3.

Add the body to your word.

What do you think of this art stunt? Did partially shredding the painting create something new? Why or why not?

Today we will learn different types of

street art

yarn bombing

graffiti

murals

non-commissioned

graffiti

Many graffiti artists are amateurs, though several graffiti artists have become well-known.

Darryl "Cornbread" McCray

is considered the godfather of graffiti in the United States. He began by spray painting on buildings in the mid-1960s. He sparked the activities of other graffiti artists or "writers."

Banksy

is a famous street artist. He is from England, but his work has been found all over the globe.

yarn bombing

Fiber artists knit or crochet pieces to fit around trees, street signs, or other city fixtures to decorate them.

Knitting and crocheting yarn is usually used for creating scarves, socks, sweaters, and other wearable art. However, some artists create public art with their knitted or crocheted work. Unlike graffiti, the yarn can be removed without scrubbing or having to paint over it.

murals

Murals are paintings that are created directly onto a wall of a building. Usually, the owner of the building commissions an artist to create it.

Maya Hayuk is a Ukranian-American artist who is well-known for her murals and large-scale artwork. Her artwork has been shown all over the world.

Murals can be found on outside or inside walls. They might be found in: offices

• schools
• government buildings
• restaurants
• and more!

Public Art

Public art is art displayed in public places. Public art can take a variety of forms, such as:

• graffiti;
• yarn bombing;
• murals;
• street art; and
• installations (interior and exterior).

Installations

Installation artwork is 3D artwork that is made for a specific place. It is sometimes considered public art, especially if it is outside. The artwork is designed to transform a space, and sometimes the viewer can interact with it.

"Cloud Gate" by Anish Kapoor

It is nicknamed “The Bean” because of its curved shape. This artwork is located in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Cloud Gate is made of stainless steel and is polished to create a reflective surface. Viewers are able to walk under it and see everything around them reflected on the surface. Because of the shape, however, the reflections can be distorted.

Installations

Street Art with a Message of Hope and Peace

In the video, you will hear eL Seed talk about where he is from, Tunisia.

Art in the Subway

As you watch, think about how art can change a public space

Subway Art

Where do you think art has more influence, in a MUSEUM or in a SUBWAY? Why?

Keith Haring

Keith Haring was born in 1958 in Reading, Pennsylvania, and was raised in Kutztown, PA. He became well-known for his pop art style of graffiti. In the early 1980s, while he attended school in New York City, he began producing “subway drawings.”

It was important for Haring to make his artwork highly visible. He knew that because his artwork was so public, it could carry strong, positive social messages and influence people.

The Cold War/ The Berlin Wall

During the Cold War, Europe became divided between governments that had different political and economic desires. This resulted in the country of Germany being especially divided. There was a wall constructed in 1961 to stop people from escaping from East Germany into West Germany, right through the capital of Berlin.

Haring's work with CityKids

2015

1986

2022

2013

Haring's style is stylized, or not realistic. The people and animals he draws are figures, but they could be anyone as they have little to no detail. He uses black and white or bold colors with no value changes or gradients.

The $150,000 Banana

Do you think Comedian, by Maurisio Cattelan, is art?

Comedian is considered conceptual art. Conceptual Art is artwork in which the idea or message of the art is more important than its technique or visual appearance. This type of art can be done using anything from paint and sculpture to installation art.

This artwork is an installation of televisions and neon lighting that shows a map of the United States. The televisions show footage of what each state is known for. The artist thought it was most important to show how technology was shaping the world.

Nam June Paik. Electronic Superhighway: Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii. 1995.

Watch to learn how conceptual art gets bought and sold.

What is an Art Critic?

The critics of Cattelan's Comedian fall into two groups:

A critic is someone who professionally judges or analyzes the works of others. An art critic specifically offers their opinions on works of art. Their judgment is often considered a critique.

Critics who DO NOT Like it!

Critics who like it!

Which group of critics do you agree with?

Give a thumbs up or thumbs down with your zoom reaction tool!

Cattelan's Comedian is also considered contemporary art. This is because contemporary art is artwork that is made by a living artists.

Giving Artwork a Title There are a few ways to give your artwork a title. The title can: - identify the subject of the artwork; - tell a story behind the artwork; or - explains the inspiration behind the artwork.

Draw a sketch in the stylized style of Keith Haring using pencil, colored pencil, or markers in your sketchbook OR On a sketchpad in the edio lesson.

Other critics say that Comedian falls short of poking fun at the art world because Cattelan actually profits from it. They also argue that there are other conceptual artworks that have more meaningful messages and ideas and that Comedian does not add anything to art or culture.

Some critics of Cattelan's Comedian say that it is an important joke. They say that Cattelan is poking fun at the art world, and at the people that purchased a banana and duct tape. The cost of the artwork is so much greater than the cost of the actual bananas and tape. The intent of the artwork is that it is supposed to be silly, and it also points to the silliness of overpriced, conceptual artwork.

Public Art Option 1: MURAL

Using pencil, colored pencil, and markers, design and draw a mural design on the notebook page. You can use images, letter forms, or a combination of both.

Public Art Option 2: INSTALLATION

Using pencil, colored pencil, and markers, design and draw a 3D installation design on the notebook page. This can be an idea for a sculpture by itself or a sculpture combined with a mural.
