Designing for the Web

In this lesson you will add a shape and then text to your color portraits. Pay attention to the negative space in your work to find a place where you can add these elements.   We are trying to create depth and interest in our piece. The "f/x" tool will help you design and personalize your text.  See the full description of the lesson below.

Self-Reflection and Assessment

Intro to Drawing and Painting

This WEDNESDAY (Sept. 12th) your first self-assessment is due.  You will be reflecting upon your gesture and contour drawing sketchbook assignments and the way you embellished your sketchbook cover.  Please make sure you view the rubrics and let me know what grade you feel you achieved.  There is always some "wiggle"  room when it comes to grading, so if you feel like you accomplished some goals, but not others  and are not clear about what grade you have earned please speak to me about it.  There is also a comment area to clarify why you gave yourself a particular grade. 

Remember always focus and apply yourself. If you feel your artwork isn't at the level you want it to be, remember that EFFORT and ATTITUDE is valued more than the ability to draw a "perfect" contour line.
