Activity #2: Abstract Shoe Drawing Project
Project Objective: Students will use drawing observational skills to accurately draw a shoe large onto a sheet of paper. The will transform it into an abstract piece by applying diagonal lines over the top of the drawing, then color with alternating drawing pencils and colored pencils.
Instructions:
- Draw your shoe accurately & LARGE on your paper.
- Draw 5-7 diagonal lines across the drawing with a ruler.
- Moving from left to right, alternate between B/W and color each time you come to a new section. It is okay to have 2 B/W or 2 Color spaces that are crisscross from each other. Shade the color sections with many colors so it is FUN!
- Determine your light source before you begin and keep you values consistent with the direction of the light source. Make sure to have a FULL range of values from black to white. The shoe should be fully shaded! Also add value and different colors to the background as per the medium you are supposed to use in the section you are rendering.
