Learning Targets: 

• Students will illustrate the planes of a form

• Students will understand the direction that a form moves through space

Directions:
1. Watch the video provided on planar analysis 

2. Create two drawings- one of a simple apple or sphere. The other of a more complex form found on the still life wall 

2. Illustrate the planes of the form using straight lines and flat shapes 

Learning Target: 

• Students will be able to inversely apply value 

• Students will be able to build up value through hatching 

Directions: 

1. Choose a reference photo with dramatic contrast of lighting 

2. Transfer the edges of the Image onto black paper using carbon transfer paper

3. Build up the highlights with a white pencil 

Requirements: 

Your assignment is to create a reduction print portrait 

You will need to include a minimum of 2 colors + white in your design

You will need to create a directional mark pattern that considers the planes of the face

You should create 4+ copies. 

Learning Targets: 

• Student will create a plan for their final reduction print portrait 

Directions: 

1. Complete the planning assignment provided

2. Create a planar analysis map of your portrait to determine the patterns and directional mark making 

3. Create a color map to delineate colors and values 

4. Determine background design 

Directions: 

1. Print and trace outlines of the face

2. Draw in planar analysis of the face 

3. Hatch in directional mark making and desired pattern 

Directions: 

1. Use your directional mark making map and colored markers. Pick out which colors you plan on using in the design. 

2. Color block in areas of the portrait with marker

3. Use directional marks

4. Layer colors if you want to create in between values

5. Color background

Learning Objectives: 

• Students will use the safety measures to cut linoleum safely. 

• Students will carve out their plate in layers, understanding not to carve a color until AFTER it has already been printed

• Students will understand the process of reduction printing and relief carving

Directions: 

1. Warm printing plate using an iron, microwave (10-15 seconds), or a hair dryer

2. Using bench hook and linoleum carving tool, remove areas of white from the printing plate. 

3. Careful not to go too deep
