Graphic Letters

Picture
Students will be creating a cut paper collage using similar techniques to Matisse and employing a graphic sense of the alphabet.  

Students will create a practice sketch in which they will "blow up" and distort their initials and overlap them. They will then create a black and white pattern where the letters overlap. Students will then transfer this to their black and white papers, they will use scissors, glue and exacto knives to create a black and white collage.  

They will then create an "inverted image" where the blacks become white and the whites become black. 

Learning Intention: Students will be exploring the techniques of cut paper collage using their initials in a black and white palette while  focusing on precision and craftsmanship .

Success Criteria: I am successful when:
  • Created at least 2 practice sketches with different arrangements
  • "Blown up" and distorted my initials and overlapped them
  • Sketched out which parts of the letters will be black and which will be white
  • Transfer one sketch to the final black and white papers
  • Focus on using scissors and exacto knives to create precise, clean cuts
  • Glued the letters onto the final paper
  • Created two overlapping sets: one standard and one that is inverted (where the blacks become white and the whites become black)
  • Focus on craftsmanship (clean cuts, clean glue application)
  • Personal Engagement
  • Both pieces are mirror images of one another with alternating black/white sections
