sHATTERED FRUIT!
project 1 #FALLBOX
To start your still life about fruit, you will practice dividing your space with a line. The first practice sheet in your box will help you through this activity. This exercise will help you understand how you will create new shapes within your space by filling it with a simple overlapping line.
It is important to draw a line with large shapes. If you draw too much detail, it will create hard areas for you to color later.
Materials: Practice sheet, pencil, crayons/marker
practice:
1. Find the Shattered Fruit practice sheet, use a pencil first.
2. Trace the dotted line slowly.
3. Add more of the loopy line throughout the space to create new shapes.
4. Draw slowly and create clear, large shapes.
5. Try to use crayons here and save the oil pastels for your project.
6. select different hues of red. Find a dark red, orange red, violet red, and pinks.
7. Draw a "fence" for each shape and color inside it carefully.
8. Fill each area inside your apple with different reds.
9. Alternate and use reds again in different places.
10. Once the apple is filled, then select a background color.
11. Find many hues of that new color: yellows, greens, blues, etc.
12. Fill each shape with a different version of that new color.
This is practice, so take your time and gain confidence.
When you are ready, move onto the project steps. :)
