This project is inspired by the work of the famous artist Jasper Johns... Title: 0-9 Date created: 1961 I found these number stencils at Scrap RVA in Richmond, Virginia. Scrap RVA is an arts and craft recycle store...and it is awesome! I teach Scrappy Creatures and Japanese Stab Binding at Scrap RVA. If you are ever in the Richmond area you must add it to your do-to-list. You can buy a set of these graphic number stencils on Amazon, just click on the link below... You will also need a circle tracer as well. I got this one at Michaels with my weekly 40% off coupon. You can get it on Amazon by clicking the link below... The paper size for this project is 12x18 90# white multi use paper by Pecon. Students pick their 3 favorite numbers to trace with a pencil. The first number should be traced right-side up. The second number is placed over the first number but this time it should be traced upside down. The third number is placed over the first 2 and can be traced in any direction the student chooses...either right-side up or upside down. Any of the 3 numbers can be traced backwards as well. Using the circle tracer add 3 different size circles overlapping the numbers somewhere on the paper. Use a fine tip Sharpie to trace over all the pencil lines. Fill in the small spaces with lines using the Sharpie. Add shading in some of the corner points with a pencil. I just have the kids smooth out the pencil lines with their fingers or you can use a blending tool. You can order blending tools on Amazon by clicking the link below ... After you have finished all the corner shading start to add your color. I let my students choose between colored pencils or water colors. I use Crayola colored pencils and a mix of Prang and Crayola watercolors in my art room. Colored Pencils Watercolor Jasper Johns painted the entire canvas for his art work tilted 0-9 I only have my students paint inside the numbers and circles but you can try it either way. Let me know what you think and please share your results if you try this project in your class room. You can email me at [email protected] Check back for new projects and ideas every Thursday.

Jasper Johns After exploring several other American artists associated with Pop art who working in the 50's and 60's (Warhol, Thiebaud, Lichtenstein) we looked at the work of American artist Jasper Johns (1930) who crosses categories from Pop-art, to Neo-dada, to Abstract expressionism. The name of the game is EMPHASIS and BALANCE. For this project we focused on his letter art. We noticed that his letters are simultaneously camouflaged and revealed against a busy background. We noticed that he used stencils, which he painted over or around, or sticker letters, which he painted over and later removed, revealing the under-paint. We noticed also that he used a limited palette of mostly primary colors, allowing these occasionally to mix, creating oranges and greens, but for the most part, his middle blue, bright yellow and strong red steal the show, adding an intense visual excitement and energy to his work. Limited white is used to soften, to push back, to add contrast and to emphasize his letters. Analyzing his brushstroke, we noticed that he used quick brush strokes to lay down dabs, lines and area of color. In order to allow his colorful letters to reveal themselves against am equally colorful background, Johns added suggestion of contour lines, touches of white, or a contrasting dabs or dashes of color to push the letter into the foreground. Achieving a similar emphasis for our letters was undeniably our biggest challenge for this project. We also had to ensure that each square, each housing a unique letter, was distinct from its neighboring square. Not an easy task! Process: We began by dividing our 30x40 cm paper into 25 squares (5x6cm across, 5x8cm down). There are 26 letters, so we squished the 'I' and 'J' tightly together into one square. The kids loved this trick. Then we traced the ABC's with aluminum stencils into the center of each square with pencil. Next, we started adding dabs and dashes of color to our letters. Working with one color at a time, we moved our brush around the paper to add a bit of one color to all letters. In order to avoid a too perfect and systematic application of color, and to have a more balanced feel, we were mindful that some letters might have more yellow, for example, and some might have less. Each letter, after all, should have a totally unique color combo, and contribute to the balance and harmony of the whole piece. That means moving our colors and textures around the paper. Once all letters had dabs of all colors, we begin coloring in the background squares. We attempted to create a hard edge between squares in order to emphasis each one, but outlining them was not allowed. Instead, hard edges had to be created by dabs, dashes, and contrasting color choice. The background squares were painted in such a way that the letters both blended (color and texture) AND were emphasized. More dabbing was added and colors were adjusted to our letters to get just the right balance. The use of white was handy for this. These turned out so beautifully. Kids 7-11 Kids 7-12
