Art Folder 19 and 20
Some classes are further along than others, so here are two art folder assignments:

19: You have just been hired by a record company to design the CD cover of your favorite band! Your assignment is to create a CD cover that promotes this group. Remember to include the name of the group, title of the CD, and any other important information the consumer might need. Please use color! ***note this is a school assignment so please make sure the band/singer you choose is appropriate for school.

20: Create five different textures. Texture is the way something feels or appears to feel in an artwork. Texture refers to the surface quality --how smooth or rough, flat or bumpy. In the world there are all kinds of texture. Actual texture in art is associated with sculpture, architecture, and other crafts. Actual texture is the texture you can touch and feel with your hands. Visual texture is creating the illusion of texture. For example, in a painting a bowl of apples on a wooden table...the artist would creat a smooth apple and fruit and illustrat the grooves in the wooden table.
