RHYTHM IN LAYERS

Advanced 3-D Art

VISUAL ARTS STANDARDS• 2.2 Plan and create works of art that reflect

complex ideas, such as distortion, color theory, arbitrary color, scale, expressive content, and real versus virtual.

• 2.4 Demonstrate in their own works of art a personal style and an advanced proficiency in communicating an idea, theme, or emotion.

VOCABULARY• Rhythm = A repetition

of movement, like in music or dance. It is a regular or harmonious pattern created by repeating one or more of the elements of art.

• The pieces of an artwork can replicate the musical experience of rhythm visually. Repeated objects can set up a rhythm, similar to a beat, that causes one’s eye to dance around the artwork.

VOCABULARY• Unity = Tying all the

pieces of an artwork together (usually through a common element, such as a common color or shape used throughout the work)

MATERIALSVarious paper boards (such as mat board, chipboard, tag board, and cardboard), wood sticks, markers, colored pencils, glue
