[ OBSERVATION ] = The subject must be real. NO photos, computer images, etc. You must be looking at the subject in front of you, and trying your best to render it realistically. The subject must be rendered in a black and white medium (pencil, charcoal, or graphite).

[ IMAGINATION ] = The subject is created completely from the artist’s mind. It may reference objects that are real, but it is not based on any observed object. The subject can be rendered with color, if desired.

[ PHOTO ] = The subject is based on an image. This can include a digital photo or found photo taken by the artist, or by someone else. Printed media and the internet are the best sources for photos. If the sketch is labeled only with this notation, the subject must be drawn realistically and only with pencil, including the use of colored pencils. If it accompanies IMAGINATION then photos can be used as “building blocks” to create an imagination work.

• Assignments in “_” are fully interpretable. Be creative!!!
*As this is a line drawing, no shading is required.

INTRO-Texture Dragons

We will explore the world of texture by creating a world of dragons with the use of our imaginations.
-The texture dragons are made by creating 16 different textures on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper folded 4 times. After the textures are created draw an imaginary dragon on another sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper in pencil. "Color" in the dragon by using all 16 textures within your dragon and background.
-Pick up a 9 1/2 x 12 inch sheet of metal, some steel wool and place it over a sheet of newspaper and "scuff" the metal on both sides, taking away the shine.
-Tape your drawing to one side of the metal. Place a stack of newspapers underneath the metal so there is room for the metal to depress.
-Use a ball point pen to trace your original drawing and indent the metal.
-Once completed, use the ink/soap mixture and paint a thin coat of wide strokes across the metal on whichever side you choose.(Must only be one side)
-Let ink mixture dry overnight.
-Pick up a blank frame and create an interesting design using bright, bold colors around the frame. This will be a nice contrast to the metal dragon.
-Tape the completed dragon piece on the back of the frame and place it one the display wall.
