Name Within a Circle

Goal:
         
The student will place their name into a circular shape and color it in as described below.

Materials:
         
Paper               Pencil

Steps:

  1. Draw a circle about an inch and one half to two inches tall.  Use these directions for all 3 parts of the assignment.

  2. The first part is to do your first name only. Color in the letters with your pencil neatly.  This is the positive image.   Note: For each of the three parts you are to use as much of the circle's area as possible.

                  

          the name                  the name as a positive image      the name as a negative image

  1. When done with coloring in the letters you are to do the exact same design but you are to now color in the background only.  This is the negative image.

  2. Now you are to do your last name as in steps 1-3 above.

                    

              the name                  the name as a positive image      the name as a negative image
     

  3. Now you are to do you first and last name as in steps 1-3 above, and as what flanks the header above.

     Note that in the combined name that flanks the header the "S" does not appear to fit with the last name very well.  The top of the M, Y, E, and R are aligned whereas the top of the S is out of alignment.  Maybe the image below is "better".  That brings up the valid issue of "When is a design truly finished?".  Often you will need to "finish" a design many times before you are really "done".  Writers do this with their stories and poems, musicians do this with songs and so artists do this with their works.  Go ahead and become "professional" in your heart  and attitude now, don't wait until later!
