PERFORMANCE TASK

Haumana will do a self-portrait using Linear design, color (warm/cool) tones, word composition and photo pose to create a self-portrait.  Each haumana can create unique patterns using linear lines.  Warm and cool tones can emote expressions of calm or excitement.  Haumana can create their own composition that represents their strength and unique personality. (identity, ‘ike kupuna)

The project would work on using practice sessions to work on developing:

  1. Practicing lines, patterns, and repetition.
  2. Working with warm and cool tones in watercolors.
  3. Haumana working to create and self direct their pose to express their identity.

ANNOTATION

Craftsmanship

Utilize three techniques and forms of media (watercolor, sharpie, and collage)
Substantial attention to detail:

  • Different line quality
  • The Contrast of color (use of warm and cool colors)
  • The directional line of the text (placement)
  • Variation of patterns of lines are used
  • Overlay of cool and warm colors

Design Process

The student practiced watercolor, line, etc. skills.
The student understands warm and cool
Self-directed on pose (independent)
Use of media effectively lead to the craftsmanship listed above.

Intended Communication

Words are placed as if the student is swimming through the water
An original theme of swim/floating is clearly communicated
Patterns behind placement of photo looks like fish
There’s a repetition of ideas
Depth is communicated through the use of color pattern

Advanced might include the background will be all about swimming, warm and cool colors will be used as a symbol for emotions, text would be used as something like lanes of the pool. The line quality is a little scribbled and looks like the student might have rushed to complete. An advanced student might have completed this assignment as a rough draft and then completed it again.
