CLO: Students will participate in the creative process (researching) by using the appropriate technology, listening, reading or referencing tutorials to explore Adobe Illustrator's shape, pen & pathfinder tools.
Adobe Illustrator is a vector drawing program. It is often used to draw illustrations, cartoons, diagrams, charts and logos. Unlike bitmap images that stores information in a grid of dots, Illustrator uses mathematical equations to draw out the shapes. This makes vector graphics scalable without the loss of resolution. Advantages of Vector Graphics
Disadvantages of vector graphics
The key components (VOCABULARY) we will be covering are the following:

CLO: I will show I have learned the basic tools of Illustrator by creating an artwork using positive/negative space, and simple box shapes. (Black Box Project) I will use the design cycle to brainstorm, sketch, create and revise their ideas, and will justify my decisions with peers. I will be able to recognize and apply Contrast, Repetition, Alignment & Proximity (C.R.A.P) to my artwork Use your sketches from earlier. Use Illustrator CS6 (especially the pathfinder tool) to recreate your best examples of the words in a 11x17 document. We should be able to see that you used C.R.A.P. WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING: I will be able to recognize design principles and apply Contrast, Repetition, Alignment & Proximity (C.R.A.P). HOW WILL I KNOW YOU GET IT? By creating an artwork using the positive/negative space, and simple shapes and rules above. (Black Box Project) Students will use the design cycle to brainstorm, sketch, create and revise their ideas, and will talk about their decisions with peers. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Artist follow a simple set of rules. In order for people to understand and communicate their ideas these rules need to be considered. Visual Hierarchy helps viewers see what they see first. Without it images may not communicate the ideas we want them to. REQUIREMENTS: Size: 11x17, 150 Resolution Medium: Adobe Illustrator CS6 VOCABULARY: Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, Proximity, Size, Color, Visual Hierarchy, Pathfinder tool, pen tool, shape tool WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING: I will be able to recognize design principles and apply Contrast, Repetition, Alignment & Proximity (C.R.A.P). To create black square art. HOW WILL I KNOW YOU GET IT? By creating an artwork using the positive/negative space, and simple shapes and rules above. (Black Box Project) Students will use the design cycle to brainstorm, sketch, create and revise their ideas, and will talk about their decisions with peers. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Artist follow a simple set of rules. In order for people to understand and communicate their ideas these rules need to be considered. Visual Hierarchy helps viewers see what they see first. Without it images may not communicate the ideas we want them to. REQUIREMENTS: Size: 8.5x11, 150 Resolution Medium: Adobe Illustrator CS6 VOCABULARYBLACK SQUARE PROJECTUse four black squares to create sketches that express the meaning of the six words below:
You will make at least 8 sketches for each word. Select the most effective solution for each one. When the assignment is complete, you should have a total of 48 sketches and a written reflection. Remember, it’s usually not our first idea that is the most successful. Don’t always look for the obvious solution to the problem. You will find that for some of these words many of you will come up with outcomes that are very similar to your classmates, but here’s an important fact to keep in mind: The potential number of successful solutions are infinite! CLO: Students will examine and identify the rules of hierarchy & design. They will learn the importance of the design principles and what they do to ones art.
