Summary

• Description:

  The PDF document comprises Grade 10 Fine Arts Strand 1: Picture Making Techniques (2D Art) Notes. The MS Word version (editable) is also available upon your request.

  It covers the following topics:

  • Sub-Strand 1.1: Drawing
    • Elements and Principles of 2D Art: Break down the "ingredients" of art (Line, Shape, Texture, Value, Colour) and the "recipe" or rules for organizing them (Balance, Dominance/Focal Point, Proportion, Rhythm and Movement, Harmony/Unity).
    • Linear Perspective: Explains the mathematical system used to create the illusion of depth on a flat surface; defines key terms like Horizon Line and Vanishing Point; distinguishes between One-Point Perspective (flat front view) and Two-Point Perspective (angular view).
    • Still Life Drawing: Details the disciplined process of drawing arrangements of inanimate objects; covers steps from composition and sketching to refining and shading; identifies the five areas of light and shadow (Highlight, Mid-tone, Core Shadow, Reflected Light, Cast Shadow).
    • Portfolio Management: Guides on constructing a professional portfolio using recyclable materials and organizing artworks chronologically to track growth.
  • Sub-Strand 1.2: Painting
    • Wash Techniques: Describes fundamental watercolour methods for covering large areas, specifically Flat Wash (even layer) and Graded Wash (gradient transition from dark to light).
    • Painting Sceneries (Landscapes/Seascapes): Focuses on capturing natural environments; explains the use of a Viewfinder for composition and the creation of depth through Atmospheric Perspective (dividing the scene into Foreground, Middleground, and Background).
    • Brush-Spraying and Stenciling: Introduces texturing techniques; covers Stencil Making (positive vs. negative stencils) and the Brush-Spraying (Spatter) technique using toothbrushes to create grainy textures like sand or stars.
  • Sub-Strand 1.3: Collage
    • Analyzing the Concept: Defines collage as an assemblage of forms; highlights visual effects such as Texture, 3D layering, Painterly effects, Juxtaposition, and Superimposition.
    • Types of Collage: Distinguishes between Single-Media Collage (using one material type, e.g., paper) and Mixed-Media Collage (combining diverse materials like fabric, nature, and plastic).
    • The Creation Process: Outlines the step-by-step execution including Theme Selection (e.g., environmental conservation), Preparation/Scavenging, Techniques (Cutting vs. Tearing), Adhesion (glue strategies), and Finishing (trimming and mounting).
