Theme: Roy Lichtenstein

This is a research journal!

Your job is to research Roy Lichtenstein. You may use books or websites.
Look at his art.
Read about his life and his work.
Absorb the nature of his art.

How does it look? What colors does he use? What kind of line?

Next, choose an artwork by Lichtenstein, and recreate it in a new way!
Use the Lichtenstein "style" and make it your own!

Create a journal page that reflects your research AND brings something new and original to it!
(One idea would be to take a photograph and recreate it in a "Lichtenstein" style...).

Be creative and use the skills you've learned in journaling this year to create a page that is bright,
well composed and full of information!

Have fun with it!

 

REQUIREMENTS THAT WILL IMPACT EVALUATION:

• In your journal, tell me which of Lichtenstein's paintings you will be using for your inspiration!
  You may simply print out and paste in a copy of the artwork on the facing page, OR you can sketch it. ALSO required is the name of the painting. Write this information under your sketch/print. (Note: It may also be included
  somewhere in your journal, as college. See the college requirments below).

• Meaningful text- Must be handwritten to count. Use your meaningful text in a creative way, so that it complements your page. Use thoughts, quotes or bits of information that relates to Lichtenstein from your research.

• Drawing & Full Color- Fill your page with rich, bright vibrant color. Pay attention to what kind of colors Lichtenstein uses! Remember that this portion of the journal will be based upon the color and drawing that you apply, by hand. Areas of colored paper and construction paper may provide an interesting background, but is only the base for further creative effort!

• LINE: Use your Sharpie, and pay attention to line, and outline!
  Where should lines be thick? Thin? How do lines show speed? Form? Shape?

• Collage- find a place to include collage. You may use collage that includes images (Lichtensteins artwork, photo of him, etc.) however it cannot be more than 20% of the overall page and must NOT be the center of attention.

• Include a door or window somewhere in your page.

• Create LAYERS of overlapping informtion, to create a rich mixture of images and text
• FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS ON THIS PAGE!
