How to create it; 

Glue sky paper down on top of white big paper. Only glue edges. Decorate top with winter details. 

Drawing the fox. 

Or other style

Making the cast shadow....

Staple corner of fox to a blue paper (blue should be the same size and underneath)

Cut out fox from orange and blue simultaneously. 

Laying down the cast shadow...

Glue shadow down up side flipped over, like a mirror image. Ears should be listed

Painting same way, but fox flipped. 

Laying down fox. 

Glue fox down slightly overlapping shadow by 1/4 inch. 

I added paw prints leading from horizon to fox. They should get bigger as they get closer (perspective law).

CONTRAST-

In design, the definition of Contrast is:

Definition: refers to the arrangement of opposite elements (light vs. dark colors, rough vs. smooth textures, large vs. small shapes, etc.) in a piece so as to create visual interest, excitement and drama.

 

Dark against light. Dark colors make light colors appear brighter.

Cool against warm.

Cool colors make warm colors seem brighter!

 

Subject: Light is only made bright by darkness

Here it is: light is only made bright by darkness. This means, essentially, that in order to have anything, you must have the opposite.

 

Examples:

-to make a color stand out, put it next to it's opposite

-to make a drawing look bright, put in shadow

 

 

Why the SUN AND MOON?

Many people use the design of the sun and moon to show balance in life. In order to appreciate the sunny times, you have to know the dark times.

-to know pleasure, you know pain.

 

This project focuses on design using the contrast of cool & warm colors. 

Using a compass, draw a large circle in the center of the page.

Draw a curved line in center to divide the circle into sun and moon. The smaller side will be the moon. Draw a sleepy face on moon side and a happy face on sun side. They will share a mouth. 

Draw line patterns on each side of circle, having the sun & moon designs being different.
