Wrapped Animal Portrait
Assigned: 1/19
BASIC PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Students will select a high interest animal portrait. After completing an accurate light line drawing, the portrait will be finished using contours lines constructed of implied wrapping using pencil and pen. The eyes will be completed in colored pencil.
STANDARDS WE WILL HIT:
STEPS – This instructs you step by step on the procedures to follow so you may successfully complete this project.
1) Select a high interest animal portrait. Snarling animals are suggested.
2) Complete a light line drawing that is accurate and uses up at least ¾’s of the paper surface.
3) After viewing the slides of this project (anchor set/best practices), begin drawing in the contour lines that will be used as guides for your wrapping. A weaving type style/pattern is required on this project. The “wrapping” should vary in length and width. This should be done to both create contrast in the weaving as well as work with the patterns of dark and light in your original image.
4) Once all the pencil work is completed, carefully go over the lines with pen and ink. Fill in the negative spaces with ink.
5) Begin shading the wrapping with your pencil. Think of how the light would work with the bottom, middle and top wrapping. Be careful to not smear your work.
