Found Object Drawings

For this assignment students will work on their creativity and their imaginations to transform regular every day items into whimsical drawings.

Objective:

Students will find a small object
Place that object on top of your sketchbook or a regular sheet of paper
Students will use that object as inspiration for a drawing that incorporates that object as a component
Students will draw on their sketchbooks or sheet of paper around the object to make it seem as if the object is a part of the artwork.
The objects must interact with the drawing or be an essential part of the drawing
Once the drawing is complete, upload your picture to the google classroom.
Make sure you answer the following questions with your artwork submission:

1. What is the title of your work?(Give it a title that fits the new image)

2. What object(s) did you use? (For example: fork, pencils, spoons, etc)

3. What is being depicted ( for example: A cowboy with two pencils instead of guns in its holster)

4. What medium did you use (art materials: for example graphite pencil, gel pen, marker, etc)

5. Describe the elements of art that you used (for example: I used thin, repeating wavy lines to create the texture of the owl's fur, I used small dashed lines to create the texture of the tree.)

Language Objectives: Use the words line, shape and texture to describe your artwork.
