more basic tools...

Transparency

Smooth & erase pencil

Scissors & knife

Gradients

Mesh tool

Swatches, patterns & symbols

Warp tools

In-class assignment:

1. Launch Adobe Illustrator

2. Review the terms & tools we covered in class

3. Run outside and collect 5 items – 2 that are inorganic and 3 that are organic

4. Create an interesting still life on your desk and use the basic tools to draw your arrangement

5. Be mindful that this could be wicked boring, so exploit color, line and composition in order to make a compelling image

Homework:

Complete this still life for next class, consulting your Unity checklist along the way. Pay special attention to continuation & proximity, so you avoid a boring pile of stuff.

Next week we’ll work on a 3 panel drawing (a triptych) based on how you were taught. Consider who told you what, what you believed or didn’t, and how that affects who you are now. Come prepared to start work on this topic – any sketches or plans will help you immensely.
