A useful tool to have in your skill set is the Blend tool. It has so many uses to help you create versatile and detailed designs. Before we create a design piece, we will start by downloading the Blend Tool Worksheet.AI file on the right. Using the skills you were shown in class, you will look at the examples on the worksheet and create your own version. Use the tutorial to help you with the technique again while you are working. Once you have completed this, you can start sketching your design created using the Blend tool.

For this activity, we will work with lines...and only lines. How can you create a dynamic piece of art using only line work? You will need to have a theme that when you view the design, your audience should be able to immediately be able to tell what the design is. Start by watching the 2 videos on the right. The first one demonstrates the Blend tool (W) and helps you create your line work easier and faster. The second video shows one artist's process of who creates a piece of line art. The size of your artboard will be based upon your needs for your piece of art. You will be required to include the following in your piece:

• minimum of 200 individual lines

• minimum of 3 different types of line

• minimum of 6 colors

• minimum of 1 gradient

​

​Be creative and push yourselves to create something with no shapes at all!

Save your completed graphic as a AI (Illustrator file) and then export as a PNG file. Label it as last name + first name + period + Line Art and save in your graphics folder. Submit the AI and the PNG files in a folder to your teacher.
