What Makes a Successful Project?
What Makes a Successful Project?
Full Range of Value
Your artwork includes a wide range from light to dark, with smooth transitions between values. Use both soft blends and sharp edges where appropriate to create a three-dimensional effect.
Smooth Colored Pencil Application
Color is applied cleanly and evenly. Avoid harsh lines or visible strokes unless they are intentional. The surface should look blended, not messy or streaky.
Richness of Color
You’ve layered multiple colors to create depth and interest. Instead of flat or basic color, your work shows complexity and effort in color mixing.
Use of Cool Darks
Instead of relying only on black, use cool dark colors (like deep blues, purples, or dark greens) to build shadows and darker areas for a more dynamic look.
Accurate Tints and Tones
Tints (lighter areas) and tones (muted or darker areas) are used purposefully and with control. You show a clear understanding of how to adjust a color's value.
While some of you are working on your gummy bear practice drawing, I’ll be calling students over one at a time to the photo space. There, you’ll arrange, organize, and take your final reference photo for the candy still life project.
Be ready when it’s your turn, and use your work time wisely!
