Assignment 1 : Translation
Materials: Work directly on 8.5” x 11” sheets of paper.
Instructions: The overall goal is to create 3 drawings. First, create an observational line drawing (no tone/gray values) of an actual hand held object of your choice. The size of this object should not exceed that of a shoebox. You may use any fine-line drawing medium such as a graphite pencil, ballpoint pen, felt-tip pen, etc. Second, translate your line drawing into two additional drawings— a drawing using a variety pencil weights (HB, B, 2B) to create tone/gray values and a composite image using flat shapes cut out of black construction paper and assembled with adhesive/glue.
