For this Analysis YOU will choose a piece of art that YOU like!  It can be a piece of traditional art that could be found in an Art Gallery OR it can be –

 

the cover from your favourite CD,

Vinyl Album Cover,

Video Game,

Movie Poster,

 

Art in your House,

or something I haven’t thought of!

In order to complete this assignment, you will need to answer the following questions after you have chosen your art piece:

1. What is the art from and why did you choose it? (Include the name of the piece, date, name of the game, album, movie, so I can find it to have a look.)

2. How did you discover this art? (By chance? Did you search it out? Favourite movie, music, game?)

3. What is it about this artwork that appeals to you?  (BE SPECIFIC! Explain what it is in detail why this works for you.)

Please use full and complete sentences and provide LOTS of information! The more you can describe and why, the better picture I will get!

The Miramichi is known the world over for many things... Timber, world class Salmon fishing (and now Stripped Bass), and for it's ties to Ireland.  Your task for this week is to try your hand at drawing Celtic Knots.  

Watch the video on basic knot drawing and practice a few until you have it.  Then try some of the more complicated ones found in the Web Links tab above.

 Video #1 - Beginner Celtic Knots

Video #2 - Linked Hearts

Video #3 - Celtic Cross

You can find more Videos by Searching for "Celtic Design David Nicholls" on YouTube.

Take your time and remember to draw lightly until you are happy with your lines. Then you can darken them up.

You will be able to do several attempts on a sheet of paper.  Once you have the technique down, try to make more and more complicated designs. Feel Free to add colour to your designs.  The only limit is your imagination!

The process is pretty much the same for all email programs:

  • Open a new email message window, usually by clicking the "New Message" or "Compose Email" icon or the CTRL + N keyboard shortcut.
  • Click on the menu item with a paperclip icon that says "Attach a file" or something similar (e.g., "Attach Files")
  • Browse through your computer's folders and click to select the files/folders you want to attach. In most cases, you can select multiple files by holding down the CTRL key while clicking on each file.
  • Click the "Open" or "Choose File" or another similar button to attach the file to your email.
  • Then continue composing your email (put the email address of the person you want to send the attachment to in the To: field, add a subject and message in the body, and hit Send).
