Our next piece will take what we have been learning and develop those skills. Before we begin the assignment you will need to gather three different photo refernces. (again, not drawings or paintings of any kind) The three items should be associated with the season, fall. Make sure none of the items have text on them. They could be associated with events that happen in the fall like Halloween or leaves that are changing color, bare trees etc...
Make sure you save these three references on your chrome books so you do not lose them. You can email yourself links, or save them in a document, whatever works best for you.
Once you have your three photo refernces we are going to create at least three different thumbnail sketches that include all three items you found reference of.
The goal is to create the illusion of depth by creating three planes of depth:
Foreground- the element closest to the viewer and so close it should not be entirely visible.
Middleground- an element that should be entirely visible but approximately 10 yardsfrom the viewer as an example.
Background- An element that is a great distance from the viewer. Most likely you will not be able to distinguish details.
It is helpful to have one element overlap another so that it makes the relationship of the elements clear to the viewer.
Try to find a way to make the most interesting composition possible when working on your thumbnail sketches.
When you are done with sketches, look at them w Mr. Purcell do decide on which one to draw as your finished piece.
Draw the same composition on your 9 x 12 paper. Start w basic shapes as always and then develop into a finished drawing. Do not smudge or fill in dark areas.
When the drawing is complete we will finish it in pen and ink with micron pens after watching a demonstration.
Thumbnail sketches- preliminary sketch that is small but proportionate to the size of the finished piece.
Composition- The arrangement of elements in an image.
READ THE BLOG below for the sketchbook assignment which is as always, due by Friday and has been on the blog since Monday morning. If you need clarification, see me during the day on Thursday anytime.
