Objective 1: Create a multi-colored, mixed media artwork incorporating observational contour lines & a variety of patterns.
Objective 2: Render the object you drew using contour lines with correct Scale, Proportion, Texture, Contrast and Value.

Vocabulary:
Line--connection of points that defines a space; varies in width, length, gesture, direction.
Contour Line-- a line that follows the surface and/ or perimeter of an object.
Cross Contour Line-- intersecting lines that "map" the surface of an object (e.g. a globe).
Repetition--an element that occurs over and over again in a composition (can be a pattern)
Pattern--a predictable, repeated design, image or shape
Value--lightness and darkness
Contrast--differences between elements in a composition (created through size, shape, value)
Positive Space--the object(s) in an image.
Negative Space--the empty space(s) around an object and any openings within an object.

Process
- Begin with contour line drawings of your objects. Make the lines create volume by following the surface of your objects. Fill the page.
- Add watercolor to the negative space in the background. Remember where your light source is coming from. Your page should be brighter in the direction of your light source & darker underneath your objects.
- LIGHTLY draw patterns inside your contour lines that follow the surface of your objects.
- Use watercolor & markers to fill in the patterns. You should have more intense, brighter colors with fewer patterns where the light is brightest and more patterns with darker colors where there is little light. Achieve a full range of dark to light tones.
Requirements:
• The entire surface must be covered with contour lines.
• Use of positive/negative space
• Work must focus on the use of line,shape,value,color,repetition,composition,texture,scale,proportion & contrast
•Self assessment
•Class critique
Materials:
Paper, tape, pencil, watercolor, colored & black markers
