Written Component: In the essay describe your concept, process, choices, materials and how it all relates to the module readings.
Drawing Component: Before you begin your selected illustration, write a short brief and then present it along with your final two projects.
Family Portrait
For my family portrait I was going to do all eight of my primary family including myself, however I realized that it was far too many people with far too much detail. I am a bit out of practice, but I am going to create a cartoon-like portrait of my three-year-old boys Gabriel and Nathaniel. Below are pictures of them, followed by a hand-drawn example of my out-of-practice sketching. This drawing is just a draft without personality gestures.
Poster
Illustrate a small poster advertising an upcoming event in your community or neighborhood.
Procedure: Knowing where the printed illustration is to appear, at what size, will it be in black and white or in color, there should be basic aspects to the brief. Remember that posters are to be seen quickly, so keep your images simple and eye catching. First, write a short brief. Second, practice some figure drawing. Next, do several small thumbnail sketches using pen or pencil in your sketchbooks for your project. Be very free and creative while sketching in your sketchbook. Do not limit your ideas or possibilities, be free to write on or collage any ideas onto your pages. Work with the independent created elements and visuals from the sketch stage, to build up a range of test compositions. Cropping is a helpful tool, simply draw a rectangle line around your image and that can suggest the page edge. This can create a more dynamic focus.
