Ken that also is a very cool lesson plan-can't wait to see your new
images. The one I am thinking of had a student work that used a Ford
logo in it. I believe that it was encircled and was in color while the
background (related images) were in grayscale. Was that your also?

Subject: RE: Missing Lesson Plan
That could have been mine. I just finished that assignment last week
and I will be posting the results shortly. I did it in Art 1 with
tempera paint. Multiple contour studies on newsprint of music
instruments, guitars violin, trumpets horns etc. and even bicycle parts
and views from areas of the bike. the different sketches are used with
tracing paper to overlap each other producing an abstraction. A value
scale is introduced and the kids make a monochromatic or black and white
scale. They transfer the composition onto a thin white railroad board
and paint with the different values to produce a directional movement
and balance of values. They seemed to like it. You can see last years
work on my website and I will be having this years work up soon. Go to
www.room3art.com click on 2003/4, art 1, value abstracts, and press go.
