Project 4: Creative Illustration


Theme: Nouns and Adjectives

In this project, you will create an illustration inspired by a noun and


adjective using colored pencils. Your drawing should showcase:

Creative Imagery
Repetition
Dynamic Composition
Asymmetrical Balance
Emphasis
Proper Colored Pencil Techniques
High Quality Craftsmanship

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Draw a Noun and Adjective


First, write a unique noun and a unique adjective. Think past the obvious on these so your fellow artists have to
really think. I will collect these and you will draw one of each. Remember, these are for you to use as
inspiration. You should work past the obvious. Challenge yourself its good to do so. :)

Step 2: Plan Your Compositions


Sketch out 4 different options for your composition. Conference with me before beginning. Questions I will ask:
What is the theme of your artwork? Is your composition balanced asymmetrically? Where is your focal
point? Where do you plan to include texture and/or pattern?

Step 3: Sketch Your Final Composition


After receiving your paper, lightly sketch your composition. Remember, this should be a contour sketch without
value.

Step 4: Begin Adding Colored Pencil


Use your knowledge of colored pencil techniques to add color to your composition.

Step 5: Turn-In Your Project


Turn-in your project on the appropriate due date by submitting the link to your digital portfolio in the proper unit
folder on Schoology. You should have included a clear picture and artist statement in your slides.
