Overview & Materials
You will be given an empty computer box. These boxes will be used to store your paint container, pencils, etc. The box design should be a reflection of your personal style and can be completed in several different ways. Include your name in the design on one of the shorter edges of the box. Its inclusion should be part of the design and not just written or painted alone. We will only be painting the lid of the box and not the base.

Acrylic Paint - This paint dries as a plastic and will not come out of clothes. Aprons are available to protect clothing. Decoupage - This term refers to the technique of cutting out paper and gluing it to a surface. We will use a special glue called Mod Podge. Please use old brushes for this technique and clean them before the glue has dried in the bristles.
Sharpie Markers - These markers are permanent. Some times they don't completely cover when used on paint. Please test this on a painted scrap piece of paper before putting Sharpie on your finished paintwork. Snap marker caps closed completely before returning them to the Sharpie drawer to prevent them from drying out

The Creative Process
|
Inspiration (Brainstorming Ideas) This is the step students most often skip, but it is vital to creating a well designed, creative artwork. Take time to look for multiple concepts for your final piece rather than just going with your initial idea. You may end up going back to that first thought but it is not always the best design. Resources for ideas can be found anywhere including websites, photographs, nature, artworks, music lyrics, etc. Ideas can be placed in a envelope or folder for collected images, a Pinterest board, and/or in a file on your computer. |

Exploration (Testing & Planning) Now it is time to see what works and what doesn't. This step can take many forms. It includes color mixing, drawing & sketching, playing with art media, working out your design, etc. |

Create (Constructing the Product) All of your previous work comes down to this moment. It is time to actually make something. Getting started is easier because you have taken the time to investigate and explore ideas. Take your time and adjust when issues arise. ENJOY THE PROCESS! |

Refine (Correct & Clean Up) When the piece is nearing completion, take some time to correct any flaws and clean up areas that are messy. Hopefully you have already corrected major design flaws and mistakes in the above steps. Look for smudges, thin paint and uneven lines. Put your art piece across the room and step back from it. Squint to blur small details or turn the piece upside down to check larger shapes, proportions, and colors. Also, ask a friend to look for things that draw too much attention to themselves. |

Reflect (Evaluate the Finished Work) Once the piece is finished, take some time to analyze what worked and where you need to improve. Be honest but not overly critical. Since art is an extension of ourselves, it is easy to struggle with the imperfections in our work. |
