Assignment:  In your visual journal transform the van or the antique car into something they are not…..

 

You have to use at least two parts of the original drawing in your creation.

 

It should be a dramatic transformation: van should not look like a van (or a truck, etc.)

Steps:

  1. Find a blank page in your journal and start with using a pencil to draw the outlines of your new creation.

  2. Erase the pencil lines you don’t need.

  3. Use a dark B pencil or pen/marker to go over the lines you are keeping.

  4. Color it. Make sure you use small pencil strokes, the coloring is solid, there are no "see-through" areas, colors are nicely blended and/transitioned.

  5. The final drawing should look 3-D. That means you need to change color values as you color - add lights, highlights, shadows.

  6. Take your time.  Neatness matters.

What to aim for:

 

Make sure your final drawing contains at least 2 parts of the original images (van and antique car).

 

The "transformation" should be dramatic and creative.

Follow all of the steps and procedures (light pencil drawing, erase extra lines, dark outline to match the image’s original line quality).

Use of coloring media (colored pencils):

Coloring technique – small pencil strokes, solid coloring (no see-through areas), color transitions.

Coloring supports 3-D quality – highlights, shadows, etc.

Artistic quality:

Creativity and originality.  Care is taken.
