2 hour lesson plan

2 hour setup Ortega

Sponge activity:  i want to start people with something like this

 Pass out a box of colored pencils or colored crayons, where each student may take only one. Then give your students a theme, say, transportation, Thanksgiving, or sports. They may not say a word the entire duration of the exercise, so there is no communication. One student (you can start a different paper in each row if you are worried about maintaining a quiet classroom while the paper makes its rounds) starts with a piece of paper, and has only 5 seconds to start a design. He or she may have something entirely different in mind for the picture than the next student, so it’s always interesting to see how it turns out. Give your finished picture a title, and put it on display.

• Introduction: What is most important in communicating a concept artistically?
• Breakdown: The question im trying to answer in terms of this is that, what feature out of a concept gives out the best sense of what you are trying to tell you target audience, also as in what feature of the drawing tells the best story
• Reason for choice: Concept art is something always something that i have loved but i just never knew what it was, when i would always read game magazines and see posters with new games that are coming soon theres is always an art section that gives a sense of feel of how the game is going to be, its what catches the most attention for me and art is something that i continoulsy do even when i dont want to

Foundation:  The core of the presentation will be going throught the same process that i took under my service learning teacher which was learning what is needed how to portray it in a story flow and how it all comes together, i will be teaching techniques of hoe to do certain task and i will also be talking about how each one relates to the industry in a certain way

Body:

Answer 1: sketching/client communciation  

-----Activity 1:  i will have people pair up in groups of four two clients and two artist , the cleints will have a couple of minutes to work together to make upp something they want for a character based off of a short story that i will give them, after that the artist is goingt o interview him/her and see if they can get the detaisl out of what they want for the character, this after that the artist will draw out a sketch of the characters that the cleints described(will be covers) and then the cleint will determine whether or not the cahracter met their specs.

Answer 2: Storyboarding

-----Activity 2:  Now that the cleints gave the idea for a story of the character they will be given story boards and the new clients will be given them and idea of what they want for a quick intro to show off what the character does in this world and how they are affetced by it

Answer 3: detail through compostion

-----Activity 3: i will hand out a paper with a theme on it the group will have 10- 15 minutes while i talk more about concept art the original client must help the artist come up with a sketch that shows off the character performing that theme on there drawings

Conclusion

• What is your best answer and why?--Detaill through composition, When it comes to showing off a concept art there is always something thing that me and my service learning teacher notice and that is the amount of detail color and placement in a concept that gives off a story to the character, wheter it be the time of day, the clothing that he wears and even the posing placement of the character
• 
  
• What is your 3 most important sources and why?--Service learning teacher and interviewee Noe camarena, The book how to creat fantasy art for videogames and the video series of The art of the game, the reason why all theses sources are important are because my service learning gives a hand on experience to my conecept art, the second is a book from an actual videogame company, sony and other labels and shows all the work and process that goes into making concept art for games, and finally is actual video interviews asking concept artist about how their jobs run and the environment affectss their work
• What is your product and why?----When i apply this into real life it gave me a better view on how hard this industry can really be and see that even some professional artist have troubles finding the work. it shows me that if i ever want to take a career in art i better be prepared to have a back-up career in mind
