STUDENT EXAMPLES 

Art 1 

Creatively use lines, shapes and patterns to fill letters and background with varying 

HUES, TINTS, SHADES, and TONES of WARM or COOL colors. 

Advanced ART

You must use drawings to fill up your words and background. 

I will need to see at least SEVEN(7) objects drawn within the design. 

Draw things that you are interested in or  that define you.

(your favorite people, animals, foods, cartoons, places, or common objects in your life.)

If you have room left around the drawings, you can fill those up with patterns & designs. 

Leave NO WHITE! 

SHAPE LETTERS

You will need to FILL IN your name with color. 

You cannot fill in a LINE, so....

You must make it a SHAPE!

Here is how I like to teach Shape letters. I call this method 

"Trace and Erase".

Liger

Napoleon Dynamite is a fictional character 

with mad skills in numb-chucks, dancing, and drawing. 

He once drew a portrait of a girl that took hours to shade the upper lip. 

But, his favorite thing to draw is the mythical hybrid creature, 

the Liger. 

Skills in Action.... 

drawings often depict a massive hybrid cat combining features of lions and tigers, ranging from realistic, muscular sketches to stylized illustrations. Popular interpretations include artistic studies of a lion's mane on a striped, tigrine body, or the iconic "liger" from Napoleon Dynamite. Key details include a heavy build, faint stripes, and a large mane.

Over and Under Art

                    There's always more than meets the eye. There's something over and under us. 

These artist/illustrators create works that show us beyond what we see. Some of them show what is really there and some show what they imagine there. It's as if there are worlds beyond our world.

CRITERIA

-Use half your paper to show what is at your visible level. 

-Use the other half to show the UNSEEN, what is over or under your vision. 

EX: monsters under the ground, mermaid under the water...

It can be under water, under ground, or above the layer of clouds. 

-Use whatever medium you feel most comfortable with. Show effort and skill with this medium. 

  Basic Rules Apply:

-Be creative:

use your imagination and have fun with color.

-Show effort (not a race)

-Fill up space

-Use what you know: 

how to create forms and show space. 

This idea has inspired many illustrators. 

Here is my pinboard for the ideas that inspired me...
