UNIT+I.+Abstraction

=
Task: Create an abstraction of an animal in a series of five images. Each image should progressively become more simplified by emphasizing geometric shapes and lines. You should try to create an interesting and dynamic composition as you abstract the form. The first 4 images will be executed in black ink. The final image must use color. =====

Steps:

Determine your subject matter and conduct visual research using your netbooks.

Collect images and paste them in your sketchbook.

Begin with a realistic sketch of your animal.

Create drawing #2 by beginning to emphasize the geometric shapes and lines in the form.

Image #3 should continue this process.

Image #4 may begin to introduce color.

Image #5 must be a complete abstraction derived from the original sketch and must utilize color.

YOU MUST CREATE SKETCHES OF EACH STEP IN YOUR SKETCHBOOK BEFORE EXECUTING THE FINAL PIECES.
