Week 8 Sketchbook Assignment - due Friday, October 23, 2015
 
For this assignment we will be using a pencil to draw the outline of one large object on our paper and fracture the background.
  • Draw a 1/2-inch border around the paper.
  • Draw the outline only (contour) of one object.  No details.  This should be a fairly large object but must not reach the border.
  • Draw curved or straight lines that begin at the edges of the object and continue off the paper.
  • Add two full length horizontal lines me two full length vertical lines.  Use your own aesthetic (according to your personal sense of beauty and design) judgment when placing these lines.
  • Draw a small, five-block gray scale in some area of this artwork.
  • Shade in each fractured area with a soft pencil, being sure all five values of the pencil used in the grayscale are represented.

Take several photos of your partner in active poses.  No need to do Photoshop Lesson I on these; however, you will need to resize the image, making the largest size 10 inches and resolution 180.

Use the quick selection tool (4th) in toolbox) to select the figure. Choose the paintbrush tool (8th) to color over the figure that now has marching ants around it, turning it black.


Picture
CTRL+c to copy the figure.
File>new>8.5 x 11 inch document.
Add a new layer by clicking layer>new in the options line at the top of the work space.
CTRL+v to paste in the black figure.
Switch the foreground to a color of your choice.  Select the background layer in the layers palette. Choose the paint bucket tool (12th) to fill the white space with your selected color.  Voila!  
Two more to go, and upload these to your OneDrive account.


See me, Rachel B. (7th period), Michael B., or Dana K. (1st period) if you need assistance.
