Super Size Me

Sketchbook #2: Super-Size Me

For your next sketchbook assignment, I'd like you to think big, but start with something small. Find a small object (should fit inside your hand) and do a close up drawing of it.

-Your drawing should be zoomed in to capture the object at least 5 times larger than it actually is.
-Create an interesting composition by experimenting with the size, angle, and placement of your object on your page.
-Your drawing should go off/touch at least two edges of the page.
-Your drawing should show a full range of values (shading) to illustrate the light and shadows you see.


**For a challenge: Capture reflections and shadows. Consider using more than one of your object or an object that is more complex or unique!

Edible Artwork

Select a food that will make an interesting drawing. Consider a fruit, candy or snack. Make 3 or more drawings of the food you select on the same page showing the food being eaten. The first drawing should be food before you eat it. The second and the third drawing should show the food after you have partially eaten it. Show the food at interesting angles. Fill the page with an interesting composition. Add shading & shadows to give your food realistic form.


* For a challenge: show more than 3 stages, draw yourself eating the food, or consider setting up a light source for interesting shadows.


You will be graded on:

- Composition: Fill the page (no tiny drawings!) & interesting angles

-Accurate observation (draw what you see) & scale

-Good craftsmanship (keep it neat & invest some time)

- Adding values & shadows (shading)
