The Assignment:
Complete a reference section in your sketchbook that illustrates the basic shapes and some common uses. Follow the basic step-by-step directions below to add the "Basic Shapes" section to your sketchbook
Mounting the Basic Shapes sketches into your sketchbook:
(Always save a space at the top or along the side for a page title.)
- Open your sketchbook to the next blank page.
- If necessary, paint or prepare the page for new information.
- Carefully tear or creatively cut out your best examples of the four basic shapes found in every-day items limiting the amount of negative space in each sketch (crop the drawings).
- The three basic shapes are the circle, the square, and the triangle.
- Creatively arrange your examples on the page you intend to mount them allowing some room for a caption next to each one (see expectations below).
- Glue in the samples of each basic shape making sure the samples are well glued down so that they do not become dislodged from the repeated turning of pages.
Authoring the Basic Shapes Page
- Label the pages of your sketchbook at the top or along the side neatly with the title, “Basic Shapes.”
- Using colored pencils, draw the basic shapes as you see them in your drawings and label them in the caption space below. Each drawing should be labeled according to the shape most readily apparent.
- On each page in full, complete sentences, and in a visually creative way, answer the following questions correctly:
- What do you think this sketch technique will work best for?
- How long did it take you to do the drawings on this page?
Include two additional “facts” about these drawings (ex.: where they were drawn, what time of day it was, date, etc.)
