UNIT 3: SHADING IN PENCIL AND COLOR 1. DUE 12.22.10 (2010-11 SCHOOL YEAR). NOTE: This assignment was done in full color using oil pastel during first semester of 2010-11 school year. Color could be exaggerated for dramatic effect and should be layered to achieve variation in values. Black should not be used. To create a dark value use the rule of complements or use a dark color mixed with the local color or by itself.

2. Not done in 2010-11: = MARBLES IN OIL PASTEL = Assignment: Complete a pencil shaded study of a marble from observation, large on the page, making sure to include the pattern on the marble and average light, half tone, form shadow, relfected light, high light and cast shadow. (2 classes) Next: On square or rectangular white paper create an oil pastel compostion of two or more marbles from observation. (3 classes) Use heightened color (but based on the actual colors of the marbles) and use the juxtaposition of warm and cool colors to create the illusion of form. (Study examples with this in mind) Background or negative space: treat entire page. This means you will need to choose a color or colors for the background. Do not leave any white of the paper. Optional: create an imagined setting for example: in water, on a golf course, on a marble tiled floor, on/in the clouds etc.
