Task 1: Color Pencil Blending Practice
Task 1: Color Pencil Blending Practice
Copy the handout to the right into your sketchbook and complete the blending exercises.
Use the circles at the bottom to create spheres.
OPTIONAL: Value Scales in Color
OPTIONAL: Value Scales in Color
Choose 3 colors and create value scales that show a range in value from 1-10
OPTIONAL: Practice Value and Blending
OPTIONAL: Practice Value and Blending
Apply what you have learned to a choice drawing. Options include:
Draw a series of skittles or gummy bears
Jasper John's inspired color compositions (watch this video for an example)
Drawing of your choice to practice color blending and value (Ideas: Eyes, Flowers, Landscape)

Task 1: Planning Brainstorm
Write the inquiry question for this project at the top of your sketchbook page.
2 sketches showing ABOVE ground perspective
2 sketches showing BELOW ground interiors
All sketches incorporate at least 3 openings of different sizes
All sketches incorporate shading
All sketches incorporate additional objects (stairs, windows, organic items etc.)
Task 2: Final Plan
Task 2: Final Plan
Final Rough Draft sketch
What's included in the final work:
Create at least 7 openings in perspective
Use a full range of value to create depth in the composition - will you incorporate color?
The world you create should have details that engage the viewer
What do I need to do for my Final Drawing?
Using parallel diagonal lines, create at least 7-10 openings or areas of structure of various sizes (no two openings the same shape or the same size).
Transform the openings into your own original Enchanted Environment (either interior or exterior or both).
It’s okay to use online reference to create your designs, spaces, textures, etc. M.C. Escher, Matthew Borrett for examples
Rules that you must follow for this to work visually and complete the project requirements
All diagonal lines travelling in the same direction to create the openings must be parallel to each other.
All vertical lines used to create the inside environments must be parallel to the sides of the paper.
All additional lines that create the top and bottom of windows, doorways, additional cubes must be parallel to the diagonal lines travelling in the same direction.
All openings must be enhanced with linework, shading, additional objects (stairs, windows, doors, organic items, etc. No blank openings.
