Día del libro 2021

Con motivo del Día del libro, los alumnos del 1º ESO han realizado unos muñecos articulados con cartón que se mueven cuando tiramos de sus libros. Moby Dick y El Principito cobran vida cuando nos disponemos a leer el libro, es decir, cuando tiramos del libro que cuelga al final de la cuerda, en cuya contraportada se puede leer: «Leer activa la imaginación».

MONOCHROME RANGE

We are going to fill the fourth table with a monochromatic range, this means that we are going to play with the darkness and luminosity of a color.

Choose a color among the primaries; yellow, magenta, or blue; or between the secondary ones; green, purple or red.

Watch the first turorial:

1. Monochrome

After this we are going to do the artistic application:

HOW TO CREATE A SENSATION OF DEPTH

We are going to choose a color, and we are going to make a monochrome range. For them we are going to paint the middle box with the pure color, for example blue, from left to right we are going to press the pencil less and less until we reach white. This strip of colors is brighter than the other. From right to left we are going to press the pencil more and more and we are going to mix it with pencil 2b, to darken it even more. With this strip of colors we are playing with color saturation, the more mixed the color the less saturation it will have. If the color is purer, it is more saturated and if it is more mixed it will be less saturated. We can apply the monochrome color table to create a feeling of depth, for example in a landscape with mountains located at different distances. If we replace the mountains by buildings we get an urban landscape.

 

This drawing is a good example of the monochrome range made by a student:

2. Artistic application monochrome I attached a word document with the same instructions: How to create e sensation of depth

These monochrome portraits have been made by some students with black and white temperas.

Grey scale

We will see these two tutorials:

The first one is to make 5 boxes on a sheet, can be on a scketchbook sheet or on a normal sheet.

The second one is to learn how to make a grey scale.

The painters and draftsmen use the gray scale to give a feeling of three-dimensionality and volume to the two-dimensional drawings they make on paper or canvas, the examples are endless.

In this activity we will first draw a cube on a blank sheet and we will shade it to give it more volume and realism.

After the cube, which has planes and edges, we will move on to the sphere, whose surface is smoother. Giving volume to a smooth surface is more complicated, so I put it second.

Watch the tutorials in this order:

1. Doing a margin on the sheet. This is the first one because you have to do a margin on your sheet.

2. Shading a cube

3. Shading a sphere
