Art Critique Project
Course:
Foundations 100-1
Date Created:

Source:

Media:
HTML web page
Description:This
project required the student to find one example of each of the
five TA subject areas and analyze the for their effective use to
the elements and principles of design. The following guidelines
were used to complete that analysis:
- compare and
contrast the rules of visual composition such as "rule of
thirds" and "the Golden section/rectangle" with
respect to harmony and balance as well as discord and drama.
- identify
pictorial qualities in a design such as shape and form, space
and depth, and pattern and texture to create visual unity and
desired effects in designs.
- evaluate
the fundamental concepts of a design, including composition and
lighting..
- analyze graphic
designs to decide the point of interest and the attributes that
determine the dominance and support of the subject.
- identify
quality in design, such as consistency, alignment, repetition,
and proximity.
After collecting
the samples of the TA subjects, we were to create a web page as
a way to submit the information. This was one of my first attempts
at web page construction. This is the assignment that brought about
my first emotional breakdown. The page is image heavy. At that point
in my TA career, I did not understand how I needed to save images
in order for them to appear correctly on the finished product. It
was a lesson learned hard but very well.
Rationale:
I have included this artifact for Standard VIII because it covers
many concepts that designers of any type of product need to address.
This assignment was developed in order to help the student develop
an understanding of the principle and elements of design. In my
analysis of the examples of the TA courses, I was forced to look
at them very differently from the way I had looked at things before.
I have no background in art design so this was way outside my comfort
zone. Since this assignment, however, I am looking at web pages,
publications, and even photographs with a slightly different point
of view.
Implications
for future: At this point, it is uncertain what TA courses I
will be teaching. However, the concepts introduced in this assignment
have broadened my knowledge of design and I realize that there are
methods to creating an effective product.

Digital Graphics/Animation Unit Plan
Course:
Digital Graphics/Animation
Date Created:
November 3, 2002
Source:
101 Digital Graphics Module 4
Media:
Internet, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Live Motion, Dreamweaver
Description:
This is a unit plan for the digital graphics/animation course. In
this plan we were to include the following and present it as a web
page document:
- Sample of
finished product
- Animated
graphic on home page
- Lecture notes/handouts
with links to universally accessible formats
- Step-by-step
instructions
- Vocabulary
- A credits
page
Rationale:
I include this artifact because it has proven to be a great resource
for the classroom. Not only will I have this lesson, but I will
have the lessons created by other TATC participant. It will be an
incredible resource because of the planning involved in each lesson.
Having notes, handouts, instructions, and a finished sample prepared
will be a valuable time saver for the digital graphics class.
The lesson I
created is one that could be introduced to the mid-year digital
graphics/animation student. The student would need to have a good
foundation in manipulation of images. Although, my lesson is actually
designed to allow the student to use a topic of choice, my example
would be an excellent way to enhance an American History lesson,
thus providing for a "cross-curriculum" activity.
Implications
for future: I will be teaching the Digital Graphics/Animation
course for the first time in 2003-2004. I will use this lesson as
well as some of the other lessons submitted by my TATC classmates,
with their permission. I am grateful that this assignment was given
because of the invaluable classroom resource it will provide.
Reviewers
Comments: You did an excellent job on this unit.... I especially
liked the way you broke down your lesson plan into days. Also, your
descriptions on the Lesson Sample made me really understand what
you did to get to the final product. I tested all of your links
and there are a few that did not work for me. On your Lesson Sample
Page, I could not get any of the links for the pictures to work.
I also noticed that you had the list of global links on all of your
pages except for the instructions page. Then, in your lesson plan,
on Day One, you stated to use the following links, but there were
no links listed.
I also really like the dark background with the light text. It makes
everything really easy to read!

Title:
Wedding Collage
Course:
N/A
Date Created:
November 15, 2002
Source:
Personal captured and scanned photographs
Media:
Adobe Photoshop
Description:
This is a collage of photographs taken at a wedding in Hawaii. My
daughter was the maid of honor and I helped her create this collage
just for fun. At the time this collage was created, she was enrolled
in a graphics course in college. We were able to share many frustrating
moments through that semester.
Rationale:
I include this artifact because students would enjoy putting something
like this together for an end of year activity in a Digital Graphics
class. This artifact is created from scanned photographs. That provides
a lesson in scanning photos at an appropriate resolution in order
for one to be able to work with them more easily. Regardless of
the method used to capture images, this could be an end of year
activity to create a visual recap of the year for classes or organizations.
Implications
for future: Scrapbooking is a popular activity. To do it electronically
would be a way to preserve treasured photos for the life of the
medium on which it is created. Students love to collect photos of
themselves and their friends.
Reviewers
Comments: (I posted this collage as an addition
to the first discussion of the Desktop Publishing course. I did
it just to let my classmates see how far I had come since my first
attempt at creating one in the Digital Graphics/Animation course.
The following is one comment I received.) WOW!!! I wish
I could have been at THAT wedding!!! You did an awesome job on the
collage!
