Sketchbook Assignment Due 4/15

Art 1 Free Content: Now is the time you get to decide what you're going to draw and what elements of art you're going to use (color, line, value, etc.). You get to decide the subject matter, so for those of you who are into Anime and cartoons, now is your chance to create your own or put a fun twist on an existing character. Here is a drawing I found done completely in line and more specifically, in words. Look close to see how the value of the chair, walls, & doors are defined.

Concept: the idea behind the artwork. For this sketchbook assignment, you're going to create your own concept. Your use of elements of art and principles of design are up to you.

Your drawing must be a 2 page spread and either full color or value.

Here's an example with a neutral color palette but strong value differences that place emphasis on the sun in the middle. Because the sun is centered and the left side is mirror image of the right, it has symmetrical balance.

This one right here is a fun surrealistic piece. The cartoon man is in full value, whie the hand is in color. This creates contrast between what is supposed to look like drawing and what is supposed to look real within the drawing itself.

Have fun with this sketchbook assignment!
