This project will give you the chance to develop your graphite (pencil) shading technique and create depth through value. While the finished project looks complex, just follow the steps to create your drawing. Remember that you can change the shapes to fit your own personal expressive style, but they must meet the requirements.
Distance Learning MODIFICATIONS
You may do this on a piece of drawing paper in your supply packet or a full sketchbook page.
We will not be doing the reflection.
REFLECTION
TAKE IT FURTHER - If you would like to take this project further, consider using a theme.
Pick a theme that interests you
Brainstorm 5-10 things about that theme that are easily recognizeable
Do image searches and copy them to a Google Doc. When picking them consider how well they will work as a template to trace as well as how well they support your theme.
Pick 3 and re-size them so that they can be traced using a lightbox for your project.
