Graphic Novels and Comics
1. Use your Chromebooks to research graphic novels, comic books, and artists inspired by comics. Look at their compositions and observe how they create action, suspense, and use frames.
2. Draw or insert a sketch in each box of 2 compositions that you found. One should show action, and the other should show relationship between two or more characters. You do not need to draw dialogue.
3. Label each sketch with any photography composition techniques that you notice the comic artist used.
How Colors Set the Mood of a Film
Read the article on how directors use color to create mood in their films.
Find an image from a TV show, music video, movie, video game, or other media. Either sketch or insert an image for the scene you are thinking of.
Use Adobe Color, CSS Drive, or Coolors to create a color scheme from the image.
Insert or draw your color scheme in the box.
Google Image Story
Without using any text, tell a story using 4 google images or stock photos. Without giving your partner any information, have them tell you what they think the story is. Write their response.

Color and Culture
- Draw the any image in the first box on your worksheet and copy it into the other three boxes. You may draw it on another piece of paper and trace it four times using the light box if you would like.
- Write an emotion under each of the drawings in the small box
- Look at multiple charts about color meanings. Use them to color your drawings with only colors that are associated with that meaning.

Stories of the Past and Present
- Research and find two pieces of art that the purpose of the piece is to tell a story. One should be from before 1850. The other should be after 1850. Make sure it is a reliable source. Good choices include the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s website or the Google Art Institute.
- Record the information about your piece on your worksheet
- Post an image and label of your piece on our Google Slides Art History Timeline. Place your post in the correct place on the timeline. Your label should have the Title, Artist, Date.
plan
Create your project plan. You are ready to conference when you have a sketch and can answer the following questions about your work:
1. What do you want to communicate and how will you communicate it.
2. Consider point of view. Do you want the viewer to view the composition straight
on, from above or below? How might that affect the way your composition is read?
3. Which, if any, characters will be close to you? Which will be far away?
4. Will your figures be horizontal? Vertical? Curved? Diagonal? Why will they be that
way? What are you trying to communicate?
5. How will color be used to communicate your ideas? Where will you use dull
colors? Bright colors? Dark colors? Light colors? Warm colors? Cool colors? These
decisions will all effect what the composition communicates to the viewer.
6. How will you show a sense of or lack of space? Why?
7. What will be emphasized? Why will you emphasize it? How will you emphasize it?
8. How will your work be unified?
9. How will you use contrast and why?
10. Will you have a feel of movement in your composition? How will you create that
sense of movement?
11. How will you move the viewer’s eye throughout the composition?
12. How will you utilize rhythm and what will it’s purpose be?
13. Will you use formal or informal balance? Why?
