Artist Marker Rendering - (completely new medium/assignment and student examples provided are from their own experimentation and not a guided assignment)Students on an AP track are encouraged to use their own photographs and composition.
VALUE: The two extreme tones or values are black (very dark) and white (very light). Recognizing the tone or value of a color, rather than the hue, is important to a painter because successful paintings have tonal contrast in them, or a range of values. A painting with only mid-tones risks being flat and dull. Value or tonal contrast creates visual interest or excitement in a painting. A high-key painting is one in which the contrasts in value or tone are extreme, from black right through the range of mid-tones down to white. A low-key painting is one in which the tonal range is narrower. For the purposes of this assignment students are asked to use 40% light value, 40 % dark value and 20% mid values with a limited color palette. RENDERING: In visual art and technical drawing rendering means the process of formulating, adding color, shading, and texturing of an image. When used as a means of expression, it is synonymous with illustrating. However, it may be used for mere visualization of existing data regardless of any preconceived message or ideas to express. Rendering is also a technique that can be used while designing packaging and branding. A degree in fine art may is a general degree that can help propel almost anyone into an exciting art career. These general art degrees will usually help aspiring artists learn the basics of all sorts of different forms of art, including painting and stencil making. Degrees in architecture, illustration and graphic design can also be helpful for those interested in pursuing careers that use rendering skills. |
