Step by Step Drawing instructions

Project options- Do the one you thin you can do the best:)

Option 1- Start off the project by creating a frame around your paper about an inch wide . In the frame create a pattern that repeats all the way around. Then you will create 2 figure of your choice and a heart that has rays like you see . Then color your picture as you wish.

Option 2- Create one or two figures on your paper. The figures can be doing any pose. There are some examples above that you can pull from if you wish.Once they are drawn, you will expand the figure until you reach the edge. If your choice was to do 1 figure, color the picture in either primary colors or secondary colors( primary- red, yellow , blue secondary - purple,orange , green) If your choice was 2 figures. Color the figures with warm and cool color as see in the work. Make sure you alternate the colors as you color picture.

Option 3 -You will fold your paper into 1/4's. Draw a figures in each area. The figures can be doing any pose. There are some examples above that you can pull from. Then chose 2 sets of colors for example red/green or purple/yellow. You will color your work as you see next to the instructions.( You will switch the colors)

Week 7- How to Draw a Landscape

Many famous artist did landscapes in their own style such as Vincent Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Georgia O'Keeffe, Edward Hopper and many more. The landscapes you see below are from some of the artists. In all of the pictures you are able to see the horizon line and the different grounds. Let them inspire your own landscape.

Directions: You will be drawing a Landscape of your choice. The examples above can be used as inspiration. I want you to draw to your level. Start by setting up your composition. Where would your horizon line ( line that separates earth from sky) start? Use the info in sketching from nature.

When you've made your horizon line, focus on your space. Background, Middle, foreground. (Work in this order) Working with your background first, what do you see? Sky? Trees, hills? As your sketching your landscape, thing about sizing and overlapping. If a tree is drawn in the background and foreground, which tree would be bigger/smaller?(foreground/background)

Overlapping is also helpful when creating landscapes. Overlapping in art is the placement of objects over one another in order to create the illusion of depth.

Relax! Have fun!!! Once you've completed your sketch try adding values and textures to your landscape. Using pencil, colored pencils, pastels etc.

Below you will find step by step drawing of landscape if you are not sure where you need to start.

Please share your efforts with me :) amy.wilkins@cobbk12.org

WATCH THE VIDEO ON PABLO PICASSO 4-20-20 week5

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1BdaC_PwC0

I hope you enjoyed the video on Pablo Picasso. He was an artist that was not afraid to experiment with his artwork. Today you are going to experiment with creating our own Cubist face. This is where you will combine 2 views of a face into one, I will show you how to do it in a variety of ways. Then I want you to make a choice on what you want to do. Have fun and be creative. Work at the level you feel comfortable.

The 2 views are frontal and profile. Frontal view is when you are looking straight forward. Profile view is the side view of the face. Try and add both in your creation

PLEASE SHARE YOUR MASTERPIECES!!!!

amy.wilkins@cobbk12.org

Please watch the video on the overview of how to do the projects

Project ideas

Here are some other of Picasso's portraits

Here are some helpful ideas for your Picasso Portrait

Start with a piece of paper about 9 by 11 (construction paper, copy paper, newspaper or notebook paper) and black marker or crayon or pencil

Fold your paper about 5 to 8 time and then open the paper and lay it flat.

Take the black marker and go over the lines the folds have created.

Look at the paper in all the different directions, then decide which way will best fit your cubist face. Remember to incorporate the profile and frontal features (see examples above).

Once the face is complete add color.

Here you can follow allow along with the step by step picture. Though know you are not limited to just this shape. You can change it to a square, circle, or even a triangle. You can also do a free-form shape. You are limited to your own imagination.

Once you figure out the face shape add the line for the profile face and then add the other features. Add color to your face.

You can also do a collage. A collage is where you find different thing such as different papers, magazines, and many other things that are glued down to a paper to create an artwork.
Choose two different-colored pieces of 8" x 6" paper. Using both pieces of paper, they cut two identical
ovals. (You can change the shape)
One oval is glued into a larger piece of background paper.
The other oval is used to create a profile of a face
Students cut a profile shape out of the second oval and then glue it on top of the first oval.
Students will use scraps to create "mixed-up" eyes, noses, mouths in the style of Picasso.
Hair is added to the background paper using marker or paper.
