You are an avid art lover.
You want to improve your skills, but you’re not really sure where to turn.
You’ve watched a lot of youtube videos, and read a lot of art and drawing books, but you feel like there is still something missing.
AP Drawing and AP 2D Design are just what you’re looking for. They give you the tools to push your work forward, by helping you to develop you own person voice, learn more about ideation, and allowing you to get feedback from both your classmates and art teacher.
So you think that sounds great, but you’re not sure if you’re ready. Maybe you think that you’re too young, or are unsure if your work is strong enough. I’ve put together a mini lesson for you + you can submit what you create to me, and I’ll give you feedback for FREE.
Lesson:
- Watch both of the videos below. Feel free to sketch and or jot notes as you listen.
What is composition and how do artist use it to tell a visual story?
What are the elements and principles?
In AP classes, it’s rare that I’ll tell you exactly what to create, because a big part of this class is helping you to develop your own personal voice. So I want you to be sure that you’re comfortable with coming up with ideas on your own. The assignment below will guide you.
Assignment: Open your favorite book to page 13, read the 5th sentence on the page. Use that sentence as your prompt to create a piece. Basically read the sentence and then think about how you can interpret that sentence visually.
Size: size is your choice
medium: ( medium is what you use to create, like paint, pencil, digital) work in your favorite medium. This can also be done in your sketchbook if you wish
Time: spend no more than 3 hours on the piece ( take this into consideration when you’re selecting the size)
Feedback: Take a photo or scan the work, and email to amberkane1314@hotmail.com . Include the sentence that you used as a prompt.
