Week Three: Patterns, Texture, Proportion

Last Friday everyone learned about patterns and texture. It was nice to have Emily and Nick back in class! :-) We had a lot of breakthroughs in students taking their skills to the next level, including Miranda's sketches showing accurate proportions! Scroll down to see your drawings.

Getting Abstract!


eXpReSsiOn sEsSiOn Drawings by Matt (above left) and Arianna

Last week's drawing challenge was to make a map of the location of your house from memory. Then, using the lines and shapes from the map you created an abstract drawing. To view your absolutely cool abstract drawings go to eXpReSsiOn sEsSiOn.

And now...

This week's drawing challenge:
School Mascot Character Design



Your job (if you have time this week) as a character concept artist is to create a mascot for your school. Use model sheets from professional artists as ideas to help you sketch body proportions, costumes, and facial expressions of your school mascot character. Use your imagination, your mascot can be any kind of fun creature that would represent the name of your school. You can do as many sketches and poses as you like. One pose is all that's needed for your final sketch.
