Creative Drawing task

In this task you will be consolidating a lot of the skills you have been developing this year.

Part 1

Start with the initial lines
select an A3 sheet of paper in portrait
Draw a horizon line in the middle third
Draw seven [7] vertical lines perpendicular to the top and bottom of the page. These can be placed anywhere on the page and vary in length.

you will turn the 7 lines into an imaginary fantasy construction which could be a formation of geometric shapes or a futuristic space building.

Begin with one of the lines and turn it into a block
Start to work out from this block adding extra lines and orthogonal lines as you go. Develop cutouts and additional shapes like circles/spheres etc. Think about how each shape will interlock with the other. If it’s a building- you could add windows doors etc. Look at the range of examples as to what you could produce.
Erase lines as you go and tidy up edge lines ready for adding value and colour in the next step.

Select your lightsource and use graphite pencil to add value to your structure to provide depth and form.
