Studio Art: Illustration Friday

In our Studio Art class we dedicate each Friday of the first semester to creative drawing based on a thematic prompt which we term: Illustration Friday.  The first prompt will be reflective- the first week of school.  Create a full page drawing illustrating your experience in color.

Today in Studio Art I'll be grading the remainder of the Wyland Ocean Mural design and Sketchbook work and we'll work on the new Illustration Friday theme- SUGAR.  Above is my example, feel free to interpret the prompt in any creative way!  Next week is the end of the quarter so be sure to hand in any incomplete or late work by November 1.

In Studio Art class we are moving to a new classroom on the "other side" and leaving Artroom161 today.  We will begin by acquainting ourselves with our new surroundings and organize where things are in this room.

Then we will be closing out the quarter this week by completing the sketchbook drawings of our hands and creating an drawing for this week's Illustration Friday theme of STEAM like the example above from illustrator Gabi Toma.

Studio Art: Illustration Friday

It's our first Friday of the year in Studio Art and we'll be participating in Illustration Friday! Today's theme is old and it is an easy one to interpret because there are so many possible approaches!  You'll have 25 minutes to draw an illustration of the theme in any style ftom realism to cartooning to conceptual and it will be your first grade of the year!  These will be graded on concept as more than skill at this early point in the year but try your best to visually achieve your idea!

Here's an example I did in class that is a more realistic interpretation of my father because it's his birthday today, I'll go with a different approach next week to show you some variation!

Here's an examples of a student drawing, Luke from AP Art class, and his interpretation of the IF theme this week.
