MYPC Masks,finished

Due:  Thusday 12. April 2012
 Guiding Question: What’s under a mask?
Area of Interaction: Human Ingenuity

What am I going to cover in this unit?
  • Masks in history and different cultures
  • Design and build your own mask, which reflects you in some way.
  • Follow creative cycle (Investigate, plan, create, evaluate.)

Specifications for your mask:
  • Wearable and/or hangable
  • 2-D elements (painted)
  • 3-D elements (sculpted)
  • Contain both naturalistic and symbolic elements that reflect yourself
(if it is naturalistic it becomes more like a self portrait; if it is symbolic, it
appears more abstract.)

Things to consider: How do you appear to others? How do you want others
To see you? What identity do you want to have?

    4.January- 1. February; Due: Wednesday, 1. February 2012


Unit Question: How can you make colors work together?
AOI: Environments

In this unit we will:
  • study the color wheel, finding out what a complementary color is,
    and what an analogous color is.
  • paint a color wheel
  • sketch designs for your paintings and select the most suitable designs for your paintings, to be painted on A3 paper. Remember the AOI theme: environments.
  • Make paintings that feature your favorite color. You will harmonize
    this color by using other colors that work with it. One painting will use analogous or related colors, the other painting will use complementary colors that work with your favorite color.
At the end of the unit you will have:
  • 2 finished paintings: one analogous (related colors), and one complementary composition.
  • Explain the theory behind complementary colors, according to the color wheel.
  • Justify how you were able to harmonize your painting in your DW blog.
  • Reflect on how successful each of your paintings is, and how they relate to the area of interaction, environments.



























  • Criteria: A. knowledge, B. application, C. reflection, D. engagement.
