Design- Tattoo Design
DESIGN- TATTOO DESIGN
Please read the following along with the links and assignment at the bottom of page.
Early Jesuit settlers document widespread tattooing among the Native American Indian. Among many of the tribes unique tattoo designs were used to mark outstanding warriors and a sign of arrival to manhood.
The Ontario Iroquoians used elaborate designs to identify those very high in social status and in many North-West American Tribes the women were tattooed on their chins as a sign of marriage or commitment.
The first permanent tattoo shop was established in New York City in 1846 by Martin Hildebrandt who began his craft by traveling to both side of the civil war tattooing the names of soldiers and sailors sweethearts as it was seen as a sign of good luck. Hildebrandt spent the next 20 years training artist in his craft. The 2nd shop opened in the United States also provided probably the most significant invention on the tattoo industry.
Samuel O'Reilly was the founder of this shop and in 1891 invented the first electric tattooing machine. Prior to his invention the needles were dipped in ink and the artist would manually puncture the skin only two or three times a second. The electric machine allowed an artist to draw directly on the customer skin.
The 1900's were an emerging time for tattoos in the United States. Prior to this period it was mostly an unknown art and moved into an age where advertising became more prominent.
Today the Tattoo art form continues stronger than ever gaining more social acceptance on a broader scale. Once looked at as something reserved from criminals, low life's and biker gangs. Tattoos can been found in every economic and social scale in the United States. Prominent celebrities proudly display their artwork on network television broadcasts. Musicians from every genre can be seen blazing tattoo designs from a single small tattoo to more elaborate and extensive full body art.

Comment by finding and including examples of tattoos/black and white illustrations and identifying:
BROKEN LINE
CONTINUOUS LINE
HATCHING/CROSSHATCHING
STIPPLING
SPATTERING
Your assignment will be to create a tattoo design that incorporates the five different elements above as well as a variety of line weights. You must have a minumum of three distinctive and deliberate line weights that serve the intention of the work. Think about the illusion you are trying to create and consider light source, texture and depth.
We will begin with a pencil drawing on bristol board and use brush, crow quill and any other instruments to create your image. Minimum size is 6 inches by 6 inches.
Color is optional.
Comment is due by Friday evening March 10th.

Ceramics 2 Mesopotamia (meza-Po-tania)
Mesopotamia, the "land between" the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which would now be in the region of Syria, is the focus for the second project. Red clay was abundant in this area and students will use red clay to create three structures. In approximately 6000 BC, pottery known as Halaf pottery was known for it’s smooth surface and often used a very limited palette of both red and black pigments. (distinctive blues were used as this period of art evolved)
Students will, again, follow links provided on the blog and research this period in time and look at the traits of this work including not only the smooth surfaces but the the use of animals as a theme for both utilitarian work as well as aesthetic creations. References of three different animals will be gathered and students will create three different pieces. The wheel will be an option for students to utilize in the creation of these pieces. Artwork may be produced in any form from sculpture to a bowl or plate. Each piece must be 6x6 inches or larger.
Alternate assignment will be to investigate and create a foot tall free-standing Lamassu, which were known to be mythical guardians in animal form with human heads. Students will investigate the treasures of Ur which will provide many examples of animal subjects, color pallets and designs.
Please read assigned links above and leave a comment with initial thoughts for how you want to proceed with the project you have chosen. (comment will not automatically appear so please send only once) Yes, the comment is required.

Ceramics 2
Ceramics 2 Paleolithic Age 35,000-7,000 BC
The era of 35,000- 7,000 BC was known for it’s variety of man’s attempts to embody abstract and intangible concepts. The first project will focus students of the concept of Goddess. These are commonly referred to as Venus and often are constructed with exaggerated shapes. Students will follow the Frontier Visual Art Blog and follow the link to begin researching this era and the various incarnations that exist. Students will begin sketching concepts which they will ultimately build and glaze. Each piece should demonstrate at least two different textures. This first project reiterates basic drawing techniques which will be used in every project throughout this class. Students will be asked to follow the same process of documentation for each project as they did in Ceramics I. Students will create three different Goddesses and begin each piece by creating a sketch of their initial concept beginning with basic shapes and “sculpting” the details from that foundation. When this drawing is complete, they begin the construction of their work with white clay.

Drawing and Painting- 8 Techniques
Spattering- Using a tool like a toothbrush to flick paint in a controlled manner at the image surface.
Impasto- Building up the surface of the paint so it becomes 3-D
Drybrushing- Removing excess paint from the brush and scrubbing it against the surface to create a scumbling effect.
Knife painting- Using a pallette knife to apply paint to the surface
Rubbing/imprint- Using a three dimensional item of surface to create a texture
Mix with another element- add items like sand or sawdust to the paint which creates a textured surface.
Stencil/masking- Covering an area to keep it from being effected by a treatment on other portions of a painting.
Sgraffito- (pronounced zgra-FI-tow) Scratching into an existing wet layer of paint with a palette knife, revealing the layer below.
