Project: Stylized Drawings
Learning goal: I can identify defining characteristics of an illustrator's style. I can draw poses of the human figure using gesture drawings.
What is a gesture drawing? From simple to more expressive
Assignment 1: Try one now: Use ONE PAGE and draw two poses using the directions below:
Gesture Drawing Pose 1: Have someone pose for you in your family and draw a quick gesture using only lines to express the pose. (1 min or less)
Gesture Drawing Pose 2: Then, have the person make another pose. Make the main stick figure to describe the motion of the model, then try adding some gestures to describe the mass of the body (circles for the hips, feet, hands, joints, etc.
Ungraded exercise 2: Look closely at this video found under the Google Classroom stream post that shows a contrast between two styles. What defining characteristics do you notice in the drawing style of Tim Burton, the artist? Record your observations in the "comments" section.
Studio Art Enrichment challenge: Ungraded Can you draw yourself in the style of the artist? These will be compiled and included in a slideshow gallery.
Visual example: Mrs. Seeholzer and family
