ASSIGNMENT
Project 3
Part 1
Search through the 4 art movements (page 5) for inspiration and
design ideas for a new final compositional drawing. Choose
three images from those specific art movements that
inspire you in terms of design mechanics and design
content.

Part 2
Write a one paragraph assessment on why those
particular design mechanics and design content inspired
you. Be specific in naming the key compositional principals that
that are embedded in those ideas or mechanics.

Part 3
Take the design mechanics and design content that you wrote
about and come up with an original idea for a final composition.
Write a one page statement of what the idea is and what
compositional foundational principals you will use.

Project 4
Students will work individually to create a Goal Pyramid in order
to organize the foundational principals of composition for their
final composition. The information will be modeled Through the 4
complete stages of the visual art compositional process (the Goal
Pyramid). The Goal Pyramid will reflect the design aesthetics,
ideas and goals that were written about in parts 2 and 3.

Project 5
Students will work with their Goal Pyramid to create a new batch
of Thumbnails (10) and Poster Studies (4) for the completion of
the Final Composition (1) (Stage 3)
GOAL PYRAMID STEPS
Step 1 is the beginning stages of compositional design this
stage focuses on Thumbnail sketches using as many
foundational principals of visuals composition that are needed
(vocabulary List) Complete 5 to 10 thumbnails in order to give
yourself options
Step 2 is the intermediate stage at this point the thumbnails
sketches have been narrowed down to one design to take to the

ne more complex sketches or Poster Studies will be completed

focusing in color value shape and form
Step 3 is the Final Composition at this stage the design
principals of the poster studies will be combined into one
compositional drawing and this will be the final design that the
finished art will be based on
STEP 4 Final Art is part of Unit 2 Lesson

GOAL PYRAMID SCORING GUIDE

There are 5 main categories with 10 sub categories directly beneath them.
Each of the 10 subcategories are worth 10 points apiece.
Students will have 3 days to complete an 8.5 by 11 inch Goal pyramid. The
Goal Pyramid can be completed in a traditional or digital format.
