EL PORTAFOLIO DEL ALUMNO

ARTES Y TECNOLOGÍA PARA EDUCAR

Tema 5. El Portafolio

Vincent Van Gogh. 8th grade

Chambre- Arles
Este es el trabajo que he hecho con los alumnos de octavo grado durante el primer trimestre del curso escolar a partir de un proyecto en torno a Vincent Van Gogh, partiendo del color y la perspectiva.

El texto está en inglés pues dicto mi asignatura en esta lengua.





 

THE STUDENT PORTFOLIO


The last step in our project is to organize your own portfolio with a personal reflection about your creative process and learning. Art is a form of communication; the main goal of the portfolio is to find personal connections to your art piece; to share and learn from your own process and your peers work.



 
You have researched and learnt basic information about perspective.

You have worked with different points of view

You have chosen your favorite place, and taken several photos.

You have already traced all the contours of main features of photo with pencil. 

You have learnt about Van Gogh’s life and technique.
 
 
 
 
 
There are some steps to follow:
  • Observe Van Gogh's colors. The impressionists inspired him to lighten his palette
  • Use Van Gogh's strokes: thin and short
  • Give movement and direction to your brush.
  • Use color to give depth and perspective to your work
  • Have your own folder labeled to keep your work clean and neat with the whole process. Print the photos from your project.



 

Write your personal reflection:

This is a guide to write about your learning process:
  • Basic Skills: I know how to follow directions and understand the class dynamics.
  • Kraftmanship: My work is clean and neat
  • Creativity & Discoveries: My learnings through color and the watercolor technique
  • Principles/ elements of Design: (line, texture and shape) How did I use them in my work?
  • Work Habits. I'm helpful distributing materials and cleaning up at the end of class.
  • Attitude. What did I learn from mistakes?
  • What part of the project did I enjoy the best? Why?

You should include in your portfolio:

  • The Artist research
  • Three perspectives with different points of view and your analysis
  • At least six sketches with Van Gogh's strokes
  • Three photographs from your favorite place
  • A pencil drawing from one of your photos
  • The final project
  • Your personal reflection
