Another assignment passed down from the art teacher before me.
The emphasis for students in this assignment is COLOR, value, texture, and shape. They select a colorful background/backdrop/environment from an animated (preferred) television show or movie they like (minimal characters/figures unless they want a challenge) and replicate it using pointillism in the medium of oil pastels. Concept Art is also very acceptable.
In my experience, unless there's proper preparation (in IB education, we call them Formatives), this is a very frustrating assignment for students. Especially if they are impatient or are not good with menial tasks. It's a lesson in patience and finding one's zen. Below, you'll find examples of past students' work as well as the training/pre-work that I recommend in order to have a successful result.
