我所带的七年级美术班刚刚完成了这一以“通过色彩对比实现强调”为主题的精彩课程。对学生而言有一定挑战性,但突破常规能力正是成长的契机!唯有接受挑战,我们才能进步!
教学目标:
- 学生将观察并探究历史上以动物为题材的艺术作品,了解动物如何激发艺术家的创作灵感;
- 学习美术设计原理之一——“强调”,并探索其实现方式。强调是指在一幅艺术作品中,使某一部分比其他部分更受关注的设计原理;
- 学习使用绘图铅笔组表现毛发与羽毛的方法;
- 学习艺术家如何运用强调手法确立视觉中心;
- 与圣经内容融合:
- 在观察动物的过程中,我们成为上帝造物的学生。人类艺术家直面造物主原始而精妙的设计智慧;
- 概述圣经中两种动物所象征的意义。
所需材料: 9×12英寸白色绘图纸、绘图铅笔组、辉柏嘉彩铅(PrismaColor)



授课内容:强调与动物眼睛
- 动物形象贯穿于人类艺术史始终。
- 一些最早有记载的艺术——远古洞穴壁画——描绘了包括恐龙与鹿在内的多种动物;
- 古埃及部分符号及古代陶器上也出现了动物形象;
- 当代艺术家如米歇尔·凯克(Michel Keck,https://www.michel-keck.com/dog-art-collage)。
- 动物在不同文化中长期被用作象征符号。
- 象征符号 是一种图像,代表、提示或指涉其他事物。
- 与圣经内容融合: 在观察动物的过程中,我们成为上帝造物的学生。人类艺术家直面造物主原始而精妙的设计智慧。
- 圣经中的动物: 圣经中提到了哪些动物?它们是否具有特殊含义?若有,是什么含义?
- 鸽子被形容为“从天而降的优雅之物”。在多部福音书中,上帝之灵于耶稣受洗时降临其身;《路加福音》更明确指出,圣灵“形状仿佛鸽子”。
- 耶稣被喻为“待宰之羔羊”。当时羔羊常被用作献祭;耶稣亦自称为牧人,而他的子民则如需指引与方向的羊群。
- 什么是强调?——强调是美术原理之一,指在一幅艺术作品中,使某一部分比其他部分更受关注。当某一美术元素在整个作品中占据主导地位,其余元素则相对退居次要位置时,即发生强调。
- 强调亦可称为营造“视觉中心”。艺术家为何要营造视觉中心?为引导观者视线聚焦于特定区域,以传达某种观点,或呈现其认为最具表现力的部分……
在艺术作品中营造强调的三种方式:
- 对比: 指某一元素在整体中格外突出。
- 色彩对比: 鲜艳色彩在灰暗色彩中脱颖而出;彩色在黑白背景中尤为醒目;
- 尺寸对比: 大形体在小形体中更显突出;
- 形状对比: 圆形在棱角分明的形状中更易引人注目。
- 孤立: 指某一物体单独置于画面中,远离其他物体。观者视线自然被孤立的形体吸引。(展示示例)
- 位置: 指人眼天生倾向于关注画面中心区域。因此,位于画面中心附近的任何元素都会最先被注意到。但需提醒学生:切勿将主体置于纸面正中央——这会使构图缺乏趣味性。
- 展示黑白素描作品,并在其中一处局部施以彩色,体现强调效果。

在速写本上练习绘制毛发与羽毛。
关于绘制毛发的参考资料:

项目:以强调手法表现动物眼睛——彩铅与铅笔素描
课时安排(共8节,每节45分钟)
作业要求: 运用色彩对比营造强调效果,绘制一幅动物特写,须包含至少一只眼睛及约四分之三的面部。使用绘图铅笔完整表现动物面部的质感与明暗关系,唯独眼睛部分除外;眼睛部分则使用彩铅着色。
操作步骤:
- 自选一种眼睛色彩鲜明的动物;
- 运用选择性裁切法,为该动物面部设计一个富有趣味性的构图;
- 将裁切后的构图绘制于一张9×12英寸纸上;
- 使用绘图铅笔对动物面部进行完整明暗与质感表现,眼睛部分暂不绘制!!! 提示: 务必沿毛发或羽毛的生长方向运笔!!!
- 使用彩铅为眼睛添加定点着色,并采用打磨技法(burnishing) 使眼部色彩更加饱满鲜亮。

My 7th grade art class just finished up this great project on emphasis through color contrast. It was challenging for them, but it is good to push beyond our normal skills! We don’t grow unless we are challenged!
Objectives:
- Students will observe & explore artworks with animals throughout history to see how animals have inspired artists.
- They will also learn about the principle of art called emphasis & explore ways to create it. Emphasis is the principle of design that stresses one area in an artwork over another area.
- Learn methods of creating fur and feathers with drawing pencil sets.
- Learn ways artists use emphasis to create a focal point.
- Biblical Integration:
- As we observe animals we become students of God’s creations. The human artist is confronted by the original design genius of the Creator.
- Summarize the symbolism behind two animals in the Bible.
Materials Needed: 9×12” white drawing paper, drawing pencil set, PrismaColor Color Pencils





Delivery: Emphasis & Animal Eyes
- Animals have appeared in art throughout history.
- Some of the earliest recorded art, ancient cave paintings, illustrate various animals including dinosaurs and deer.
- Some ancient Egyptian symbols include animals as well as ancient pottery.
- Contemporary artist such as Michel Keck (https://www.michel-keck.com/dog-art-collage
- Animals have been used as symbols throughout history in various cultures.
- A symbol is an image that stands for or reminds us of or represents something else.
- Biblical Integration: As we observe animals we become students of God’s creations. The human artist is confronted by the original design genius of the Creator.
- Animals in the Bible: What are some animals mentioned in the bible? Do they have any special meaning? If so, what?
- The dove is described as like something graceful coming from heaven. In several of the Gospels, the Spirit of God descends upon Jesus at the point of His baptism. In Luke, the Spirit is actually described as looking like a dove.
- Jesus is described as being like a lamb for slaughter. Lambs were slaughtered for sacrifice in that era. Jesus spoke of being a shepherd and his people as being like sheep who need guidance and direction in life.
- What is Emphasis– Emphasis is the principle of art that stresses one area in an artwork over another area. Emphasis of an art element occurs when one art element dominates the entire work, and the other elements become less important.
- Emphasis can also be called creating a “focal point”. Why would an artist want to create a focal point? To bring the viewer’s attention to a certain area to express a point, show what he thinks is the most interest part…
3 Ways to create Emphasis in an artwork:
- Contrast: occurs when one element stands out from the rest of the work.
- Contrasting Color: A bright color stands out from a dull color. Color stands out against black and white
- Contrasting Size: Large shapes stand out against small ones.
- Contrasting Shape: Circular shapes stand out against angular shapes.
- Isolation: occurs when an object is place alone and away from the other objects in an artwork. The viewer is drawn to the isolated shapes. (show examples)
- Location: occurs when the eyes are naturally drawn toward the center of an artwork. Anything placed near the center of the work will be noticed first. That being said, discourage the students from placing the main subject in the center of the paper-it makes for a less interesting composition.
- Show examples of black & white drawings with one area of emphasis of color.

Project: Animal Eyes with Emphasis Colored Pencil and Graphite Drawing
Duration (8-45 min classes)
Assignment: Create emphasis through contrast in color by drawing a close-up view of an animal, showing at least one eye & about ¾ of the face. Render the animals face with full texture and shading using your drawing pencils- except the eyes. Use colored pencil to color the eyes.
Instructions:
- Pick an animal of your choice that has colorful eyes.
- Use selective cropping to compose an interesting composition of your animals face.
- Draw the cropped composition onto a 9×12” sheet of paper.
- Render the animals face with full shading using your drawing pencils, except for the eyes!! TIP: Follow the direction of the fur or feathers!!!
- Add spot color using colored pencil to color the eyes. Use the burnishing technique to give vibrant color to the eye.
