So, you made it through Drawing Bootcamp...Now what? You are challenged to put your new observation and drawing skills to the test AND to add some new skills to the mix. Use the Project Planning document (download below) to help guide your artistic process:
- Using CONTOUR LINES, draw at least 3, three-dimensional objects from life (the SUBJECT). The objects can be from the art room or from home but you must draw from life because drawing from a photo is a completely different thing!
- Make sure to consider the ACCURACY of your drawing - are you REALLY LOOKING at the objects as you draw? Are you REALLY drawing ONLY WHAT YOU SEE? DO NOT use memorized symbols or make up information that is not there!
- Consider also, LINE QUALITY (weight). It is essential and WILL affect the accuracy and visual impact of your drawing.
- Carefully cut out your best drawings (you will likely have to draw many more than 3 in order to get the best drawings) and begin to arrange them on the picture plane that you have been given (paper). Remember what we talked about re: COMPOSITION and the Elements of Art and Principles of Design. Arrange and re-arrange your drawings until you find a STRONG COMPOSITION that supports the CONTENT of your work.
- Think also about additional ways that you can support the CONTENT of your work? ...What else will you add to complete the work? More drawings? Collage materials? Other mixed media?
- When you are SURE that you have the COMPOSITION the way you want it, carefully glue all the pieces down. Craftsmanship is essential here - be neat!
- Mount your artwork for display using the ATG; make a label, which includes a thoughtful title that supports the content of your work.
- Complete the assessment rubric; reflect on and rate your work.
