德穆斯《5》：作为艺术形式的文字设计

查尔斯·德穆斯《5》启发的字体设计、字体样式与文字设计课（第二课）

本课是字体设计与文字基础系列项目的第二课。 请参阅第一课：字体设计入门——文字设计基础教案（第一课）。本美术项目面向初中与高中美术课程（亦可调整用于高年级小学），是教授设计与构图的优质课程。

第二课

学习目标（IO）：

• 学生将了解艺术家查尔斯·德穆斯及精确主义艺术流派；
• 学生将掌握精确主义的艺术特征，并理解其如何受到立体主义与未来主义的影响；
• 学生将运用设计技能，以字体与文字样式创作一幅原创构图。

教学过程：

1. 复习文字设计术语，辨识字母各部分结构（见第一课）；
2. 艺术家研究：查尔斯·德穆斯
3. 查尔斯·德穆斯（1883年11月8日－1935年10月23日）是美国水彩画家（晚年转向油画），开创了名为“精确主义”的绘画风格；
4. 精确主义是受立体主义与未来主义影响的美国艺术流派。
   1. 分别欣赏上述各流派的代表作品；
   2. 讨论异同：立体主义旨在以基本几何形体表现形象；未来主义则拥抱现代科技（人类对自然的技术性胜利），推崇速度、科技、青春、暴力、汽车、飞机与工业城市；
5. 精确主义的核心主题为工业化与美国地貌的现代化，其描绘的建筑与结构均以精准、轮廓锐利的几何形态呈现；
6. 德穆斯终生居住于宾夕法尼亚州，曾赴巴黎求学并生活，融入先锋派艺术圈；他因糖尿病并发症于51岁逝世；

7. 在大都会艺术博物馆网站上观赏德穆斯作品《我看见金色的数字五》：

   

   6. 阅读文章《现代艺术周一特辑：我看见金色的数字五》（见下方方框），了解德穆斯创作《我看见金色的数字五》的灵感来源。

   现代艺术周一特辑：我看见金色的数字五……

   1924至1929年间，查尔斯·德穆斯完成了八幅抽象肖像画，致敬当代美国艺术家、作家与表演者。尽管并非真实肖像，德穆斯仍以此作描绘其友人威廉……

课堂活动： 德穆斯《5》启发的字体设计——文字设计绘画

项目目标： 运用全部四种文字样式（罗马体、海报体、手写体及带衬线/无衬线的特殊字体），在视觉富有趣味性的构图中创作一幅原创设计；通过大小变化与色彩对比营造视觉中心；变化字母或数字的尺寸与角度；背景采用黑白设计。

材料： 12×18英寸卡纸、直尺、字体字母范例、彩铅、记号笔（马克笔可选）

以下为部分学生进行中的作品：

操作步骤：

1. 选择 5–7 个字母、数字或符号 进行绘制。
2. 使用 Word 或 Pages 软件在电脑上完成设计：
   1. 用 Microsoft Word 或 Mac Pages 程序创建基础构图。
   2. 单独插入“艺术字”（仅轮廓样式），共 5–7 个字母、数字或符号。
   3. 使字母相互重叠、扭转（旋转），并让部分字母延伸出画面边缘，以增强构图趣味性。
   4. 将文档保存至桌面，命名为“你的姓名 ART”。
3. 在素描本中至少绘制 2 幅缩略草图，推敲构图。从中选定一个字母作为视觉焦点（强调区域），通过其风格、大小、色彩与明暗对比来突出它。
4. 必须对不同字母或数字分别运用全部 4 种字体风格（因你选用的字母/数字总数为 5–7 个，故至少有一种字体风格会重复使用）。
5. 设计小贴士：
6. 变换字母/数字的尺寸与角度。
7. 让部分字母/数字相互重叠。
8. 让部分图形延伸出画面边界。
9. 借助电脑辅助完成构图设计。
10. 在一张 12×18 英寸的白纸上，用铅笔绘制 3 英寸见方的网格。（或绘制随意的斜线——我下次课将采用此法！）
11. 用铅笔在纸上绘制你的设计稿。
12. 字母、数字与符号： 须以 彩色 表现。使用彩铅或记号笔为字母/数字着色。确保你的视觉焦点为彩色，并在整个画面中均衡分布其他色彩。
13. 背景： 背景须为黑白效果——在作品中营造正负形反转的图案。用勾线笔（Sharpie）绘制背景。通过设计多种图案，呈现丰富的明度变化。

Demuth 5 Lettering as an ArtformCharles Demuth “5” Inspired Typography, Font Styles & Lettering Design Lesson (Lesson 2)

This is the second lesson in a project on typography and lettering basics. See Lesson 1: Intro to Typography – Lettering Basics Lesson Plan (Lesson 1) This art project is geared toward middle school and high school art (but could be adapted to upper elementary) and is a great lesson to teach design and composition.

DAY 2

IO:

• Students will learn about the artist Charles Demuth and the Precisionism art movement.
• They will learn characteristics of Precisionism and understand how it was influenced by Cubism and Futurism.
• Students will use design skills to create an original composition using typography and lettering styles.

Delivery:

1. Review lettering vocabulary, Identify the Parts of a Letter (from lesson 1)
2. Artist Study: Charles Demuth
3. Charles Demuth (November 8, 1883 – October 23, 1935) was an American watercolor artist (turned to oils late in his career) who developed a style of painting known as Precisionism.
4. Precisionism was an American art movement that was influenced by Cubism and Futurism.
   1. View artwork from each of these movements.
   2. Discuss differences and similarities. Cubism’s goal was to represent an image in its basic geometric forms. Futurism embraced modern technology (the technical triumph of man over nature). The Futurists admired speed, technology, youth and violence, the car, the airplane and the industrial city.
5. Precisionism main themes were industrialization and the modernization of the American landscape. The structures of which were depicted in precise, sharply defined geometrical forms.
6. Demuth was a lifelong resident of Pennsylvania. He studied and lived some in Paris where he became a part of the Avant Garde art scene. He died at the age 51 of complications from diabetes.

7. View “I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold“ by Charles Demuth on the Metropolitian Museum of Art Website:

   

   6. Read article “Modern Art Monday Presents: I Saw the Figure Five in Gold” (see below in box) to understand how Demuth was inspired to create his piece “I Saw the Figure Five in Gold”.

   Modern Art Monday Presents: I Saw The Figure Five in Gold …

   Between 1924 and 1929 Charles Demuth completed eight abstract portraits as tributes to modern American artists, writer, and performers. Though not a physical likeness, Demuth created this portrait of his friend, William …

Activity: Demuth “5” Inspired Typography – Lettering Design Drawing

Project Objective: Create an original design using each of the 4 types of lettering styles (roman, poster, script & unusual-in Serif & non-serif font types) in a visually interesting composition. Create a focal point using size variation and color contrast. Vary the size and angle of the letters or numbers. Use black and white design in the background.

Materials: 12×18” Tagboard, rulers, examples of font alphabets, colored pencils, sharpies (markers optional)

Here is some “in-progress” student artwork:

Instructions:

1. Choose 5-7 Letters, Numbers & Characters to draw.
2. Create the Design on the computer using Word or Pages:
   1. Use Microsoft Word or Mac Pages Program to create your basic composition.
   2. Insert “word art”-the outline only style- individually of 5-7 Letters, Numbers & Characters.
   3. Overlap, twist (rotate), and have the letters go partially off the page to make the composition more interesting.
   4. Save the document to the desktop as “Your Name ART”.
3. Create AT LEAST 2 thumbnail sketches to work out your composition in your sketchbook. Choose one letter to be your focal point (area of emphasis) through style, size, color and contrast.
4. Must use each 4 styles of lettering for a different letter or number (there will be 1+ repeated styles depending on how many letters you put in your design).
5. Tips for design:
6. Vary the sizes and angles of the letters/numbers.
7. Overlap some of the letters/numbers.
8. Have some designs go off the page
9. Go onto a computer to work out the design.
10. On a 12×18” sheet of white paper, in pencil draw a 3” square grid. (Or create random diagonal lines- I’m going to do this next time!)
11. Draw your design in pencil.
12. LETTERS, Numbers & Characters:  will be rendered in color. Use colored pencils/markers for the letters/numbers. Make sure you choose your focal point to be in color and balance the other colors throughout the piece.
13. BACKGROUND: background will be in black & white-create a positive & negative space reversal patterns in your art. Use Sharpies for the background. Create various patterns in the background to change the values.
