Week of April 20th

Texture Rubbings

Materials needed:
drawing paper
pencil
black crayon

What is texture? It is the way an object looks or feels. Looking around the room, find three objects that look as if they have a distinct texture. 
Fold your paper into 6 sections.  In one section, draw one of the objects you see from your seat. Now, go over to the object, place the paper over it, and rub with the side of a crayon or pencil to pick up the object's actual texture.  Use the space next to your drawing for the texture rubbing.
Repeat these steps for all three objects.

Week of April 27th

Textured Landscape

Materials needed:
crayons
drawing paper

Draw a simple landscape with a distinct background, middle ground, and fore ground. Use large, open shapes in your drawing, as you will be doing crayon rubbings to fill the spaces. Look around the room to find textures to use in your landscape. For example, the sole of a shoe might suggest the rough side of a rocky mountain. Once you have identified actual textures you can use, place your drawing over the item so the textured surface is under the appropriate area of the drawing. Rub gently over the surface of the paper with the crayon to transfer the texture to the paper.  Repeat for the other areas in your landscape.

Materials:
Drawing Paper
Pencil
Pen

How many different values can you get from a pencil? Create a 1 inch square or circle on the paper. Continue creating 1 inch squares or circles, each one lighter than the one before it, until you have created what you feel is the lightest value you can create.  Try to create5-8 different values.

Now repeat the above assignment using a pen.
