The carefully considered placement of a single word within a sensitive line drawing can conjure up a memory, feeling, mood. The various associations of word to image will result in multiple interpretations, as in poetry. This assignment was inspired by spare but resonant poems such as the haiku.
Procedure:
Review Contour drawing – Blind and modified (“partial peak”)
Create one or more detailed modified contour drawings of a plant or flower using permanent marker (fine and extra fine).
Make sure that the scale of the drawing is suitable to the size of the
paper: 12” x 18”. Fill the page.
When drawing is complete think of a word that is indirectly related to the image.
Decide on placement of word in relation to the lines of the drawing.
The word must be as carefully constructed and designed as the drawing. Use stencils, tracing or collage to create the word. Do not just write the word with no regard to style, scale, spacing etc.
For balance and rhythm, you may fill in some areas of drawing or add some texture or color
Assessment:
Submit one finished drawing with word on white 12” x 18” drawing paper.
Media: Sharpies, collage(optional), also optional colored markers or colored pencils
Two grades will be given:
For drawing technique – Continuous and varied line, detailed that shows close sustained observation
For Design – Drawing and word command the space of the page, word and drawing are integrated in the whole design, design is balanced but is not static

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.
