Day 4



Drawing

1.       Follow the perspective drawing demonstration in class and complete the worksheet on both one and two point perspective drawing.

 

Using perspective drawing, create an image that best communicates the theme for your zine. It can be either an object or a scene that shows perspective.

 

Take a photo of this page and it will make up one of the pages of your zine.

 

2.       Your Zine

·         Your zine needs to have at least 8 separate pages.

·         Needs to communicate your zine theme.

·         Needs to contain the pages developed in class OR your own pages using each one of the following drawing \colour techniques learnt in class.

Zine typography - Select a theme for your Zine, it could be a single word or a phrase.
On a blank page write your theme down as many possible ways as you can think of until you are satisfied or the page is full. You can use collage or different mediums in this exercise.

Mark making - Devise a drawing exercise (similar to the music drawing exercise in class) to create a page for your zine. You can use any material but the marks need to be inspired by your theme. Conduct your drawing exercise and use the cropping process from class to find a pleasant composition.

Tonal drawing - Draw a shape that best depicts your zine theme. Shade and tone the shape with a medium good for achieving tonal range and with a one point light source.

Collage/ merging layers - Conduct the merging layers exercise from class again but following your own theme and using a selection of images related to that theme.

Warm Collage/ merging layers - Repeat but using a warm colour palette.

Cool Collage/ merging layers - Repeat but using a cool colour palette.

Colour theme - If you could choose one colour to represent your theme what would it be? Why? Using the medium of your choice create a page of that colour. See what textures you can achieve in your chosen colour with your chosen medium.

Perspective - If you could choose one colour to represent your theme what would it be? Why? Using the medium of your choice create a page of that colour. See what textures you can achieve in your chosen colour with your chosen medium.

 

·         You can add as many pages to this 8 as you see fit to communicate your theme.

·         The pages can be any size but will be photographed and resized and edited in Photoshop to A4 Width:21cm   Height:29.7  Res:300 ppi

·         Save out all your pages in high quality pdf format.

·         Create an ISSUU account and upload the PDF to ISSUU
