Make sure you are bringing your iPad daily so that you can work in class. If you don't you will have A LOT of homework.
If you were a late addition to class make sure to catch up by watching videos like these to catch up and get up to date on how to use the app we will use to draw in class.
We will be using the handout here to shade shapes with Procreate.
We will be building a still life in class (or you can make it at home). Then we will draw the still life using simple shapes and simplified color palettes in Procreate.

We will be making a color wheel in your sketchbooks and on procreate.
Then we will be making palettes of colors in specific color schemes
Then coloring images with these palettes
Finish the Still Life Project
Zine Project- You will have choose an artist. I have made a list to help you with this choice. All of you must choose a different artist from anyone else in the class. If your artist is not on the list you must get it approved through Ms Barr first. Please click on this link to sign up for the artist you chose: SIGN UP HERE
Please make sure you send the PDF of your Zine to Canvas so that it will be printed
Worksheets found below will be done in class on Procreate. If you are out this week, please work on the three worksheets on your own in Procreate.
You can turn in work until Week 9 of class but you may loose a fraction of a percent for it being really late
I am gone on Friday and next Tuesday so you will get your instructions on here. You will need to turn in work even without me being present.
TUESDAY
You will work on a page in your sketchbook or on the ipad completely dedicated to typography. Please make sure you fill the entire page with drawings and notes for this assignment.
WEDNESDAY
You will be creating several designs that bring type to life. We will make illustrative, visual text that makes a single word look like its becoming its definition.
THURSDAY//FRIDAY
You will explore and find a quote or lyric you would like to illustrate. We will be working on this all this week and some of next.
Everything you do is surrounded by type. It can change the way that you read, write, travel, play, and work. For this week you will research fonts/type. You will take one page of visual notes (sketchnotes) on how type changes the way we think about things. I have given you some things to watch/look at below to help you on this journey.
"Smokin' Darts and Breakin' Hearts"
"Do You Realize? We're Floating in Space"
"Don't Be Nice to ICE"
"Give Yourself Some Wiggle Room"
