Step 1: Brainstorm and Investigate
Decide what your piece is going to be about!
How to come up with a great topic for your art project
Use sketches or writing to generate ideas for your topic. You should also be researching other artists or work to show where you got your inspiration. Remember that good brainstorming involves coming up with as many ideas as possible even if they are bad!
Choose one of the following for collecting inspiration (at least 15 images):
1. Pinterest Board - Create a Pinterest board of inspirational images related to your topic, media, or style
2. Blog Post - Create a blog post with at least 15 pictures and a short description of each one
3. Visual Journal - Print images and create an art journal page in your sketchbook.
Write a short reflection explaining how you came up with your idea:
How are connecting your piece to other artwork and experiences?
What message is your piece going to communicate?
How are you showing off your originality?
When you are done complete Peer Critique 1 with a partner.

Step 2: Organize and Develop
Use thumbnail sketches (10+) to plan your composition, considering the elements and principles of design.
Remember you are not changing ideas at this point, just playing with how to use the space on the paper. Remember you want your audience to FEEL something when they look at your painting. Think about how the colors you choose will affect the mood. Also be conscious of where your risk taking is going to come in to your piece.
This is your time to experiment and see which way of visualizing your idea is most effective!
Complete a final sketch of your composition in full color
This can be done on paper or on your IPAD using Adobe Ideas
Write a short reflection about how your visual choices enhance your meaning or idea.
Create
Start your project. As you work and get feedback, make improvements and adjustments to your piece. Once you have problem solved any remaining issues, you are ready to present!
Remember to document your progress as you go so you can complete your weekly process journal.
