8a Kate Moross - Photo and illustration

Objective
To introduce you to the work of Kate Moross
To improve your drawing skills
To introduce you to integrating with both Photoshop and drawing

Steps
1 Choose an image from the web of a famous musician, pop star, film star or Youtuber. If you are feeling literary, choose a poet or author. Print it off, A4 size.
2 Find some text that relates to the person. This could be lyrics, quotes or lines from a book.
3. Using tracing paper or a light box and printer paper, draw the text in, around and over the portrait or figure you have chosen. Attempt to make it look like the figure and text are integrated.
4. Include extra graphic elements. Remember, you are attempting to emulate the work of Kate Moross
5.When you are happy with your design, fine liner it or trace it in Photoshop with a tablet and pen - either way, the end result should be a clean line.
6. Scan this line into Photoshop, place it over the photograph and add colour.

Design Principles

Adobe Illustrator Pattern

Objective

To introduce Adobe Illustrator as a potential design tool.

To complete another page in your personal book.

To create a repeating pattern.

Task

To get to this stage you first need to draw 10 of your favourite things.
This could be: animals, cats, makeup, bikes, footballers  etc

Use any medium (pencil, fine liner, ink) and work small. Fill your page line drawings - try not to become disheartened if you think they look bad - just keep going and fill your page.
Drawings should be smallish... no bigger than your fist.

Done?

Scan in your page and open Adobe Illustrator and follow the tutorial above.

James Gulliver Hancock - buildings

I will create a tutorial for this task in the near future. Until then, you can use your incredible Photoshop skills.
Download my version HERE and look at how it has been constructed. Turn the layers on and off. (Root around it - you can't break it as it is a copy.)
Some students might find this as helpful at a tutorial.
Bricks are HERE 

Objective
To introduce you to the work of James Gulliver Hancock.
To increase your understanding of hand drawing and colouring in Photoshop.
To learn how to include textures into flat colours

Task
Either using a camera or Google Street View, collect together a selection (6 or more) of buildings that mean something to you. 
This could be a grandparent's house, a friend's, the bus stop, Chico's, Kings hardware in Wem, the Church. The only stipulation is that you must include your own house.
You are then to draw one in pencil, emulating the style of James Gulliver Hancock. That means no rulers! 
Have a piece of work by Hancock open for reference.

What you will need
At least 6 images of buildings - including your house
Light pencil drawing  - that has been traced with fine liner
Painted, rough-edged textures (either your own or in my textures folder)
Photoshop and scanner

What to do...

Scan in drawing > threshold > take away white.
Use the freehand marquee tool or paintbrush to colour on a new layer
Use paintbrush textures to add edge texture - don't be too neat!

Thank you Taylor :)

Deadline - Monday the 23rd Jan

There is a hand in deadline, for all of your current work this Monday. For those of you who have been keeping up to date with your presentations and making sure that your sketchbooks have everything stuck in and presented in a creative fashion, this will be no problem. For those who have busy lives, I'm giving you a weeks notice.

Deadline is Monday the 23rd at 3:15. If you think you might forget your sketchbook on that day, hand it in on the Thursday lesson.

A summary of your marks and progress will be texted home to your parents or carers.

What do you need to show?
