Ideal Day collaqe project

Create a collage of your ideal life. From this collage you will draw your ideal day too. There should be at least seven images of the wonderful life you would like to live.

Also, I would like you to develop a color scheme for your drawing too. It is OK with me if you use a black and white color scheme as long as you add at least one color.

The point of this collage is to let your imagination to run wild -- nothing should be out of your thinking. Do not limit your ideas and most of all do have fun.

•When painting with water, move from lighter areas to darker areas. The brush will carry the darker colors into the light areas if you do not do this.

•  Don't add pencil to wet areas; it creates a darker colour that won't change.

• Shade lightly and evenly, deep marks may remain or groove the paper in places where you don't want them.

•Test unexpected color combinations on a side sheet of watercolor paper or a multi media sketchbook. Try mixing complementary colors like orange and blue or yellow and violet. See whether mixing two dark colors like Indigo and Dark Brown may make a richer black than the black pencil. Sometimes layering the very bright colors in the right order and the right combination can give richer browns and grays than using the brown and gray pencils

 •If you plan to add a background, you should do that first

 •Your pencil marks and brush strokes should go with the contours of your subject

 •If you notice an area is too dark before adding water, use a kneaded eraser to lighten it. Squeeze the eraser and press it flat against the area to be lightened. Peel it off, stretch and roll it, repeat till it's lightened. This is gentle enough that it won't damage the paper surface the way rubbing with other types of erasers will.

New Yorker Cover Design

The New Yorker is known for their very interesting and creative cover illustrations. Your new assignment will be to design a project using water colored pencils to produce a design suitable for such a publication.

Normally the designs are comments on social issues like the changing seasons, holidays, political issues, and the like. As apposed to some drawing assignments, this one will require extra research and for you to come up with a "concept" or "original idea" and then draw it to fit within the confines of the format of the magazine.

You may go to the DeAnza library or the Internet for your research and find out the proper dimensions of the magazine. The other aid to your project would be to develop several thumbnail sketches of your intended design before you even begin to design your cover.

Also the mask-head of the cover should be the same size as that of the magazine.

This project will be due next Tuesday.
