Botanical Study in Color.
Find a plant or tree that you can study.
Because the study will be done in color, you may want to select an
object that appeals to you because of its color. Draw the formation of the stems, leaves, buds
etc. carefully and accurately. Add color
and shading to define the shape/forms of the individual parts and to indicate
where your light shines on the plant.
This should be like a scientific study and needs no background. Media possibilities – colored
pencil, tempera paint, water color, pastel---- stay away from markers, they are
too flat to allow shading. Let me know
if you need supplies!!!

Theme - Elements of Design/Unusual Combinations
1. Due by
Wednesday May 6, 2015.
Pattern - The Pfautz family is sitting for a portrait. They are unfortunately artistically
challenged. The pattern of the wallpaper clashes with the pattern of
the couch. The carpet design has no relation to either
pattern. And you should see how the parent(s) and three children are dressed.
Do your best to capture this clashing family in their living room. You may use any color media you wish. You
may also draw the people in a cartoon style if you wish.
Selected subject - visual

Composition, interesting negative
spaces/use of full page 30 points

2. Due by Wednesday May
13, 2015
Lines - In this assignment pick some objects to arrange or
some objects that are already grouped together.
Carefully draw their outlines lightly.
Use the entire page so that your objects are not lost in the middle of the
composition. Now fill each object with a
different kind of line, wavy, zig zag, curving, straight, dotted, etc. Fill in your background as well. The objects should be seen because of the
lines inside them - not because of their outlines. You may use colored pencil, gel tip pens or
markers

spaces/use of full page 30 points
Use of media, neatness 30 points

Color - The color combinations that bother your eye the most
are the complementary colors. They are
located across from each other on the color wheel. (red and green --- orange
and blue --- yellow and purple). Draw a
scene from nature or indoors. Color the
drawing with one pair of two
complementary colors. Suggestion -
use one color for highlights and one for shadows, or use a similar strategy for
dividing up the space. You may use tints
and shades of these two colors. Use
paint, markers or colored pencils.
