For the second best continuous line contour drawing you have some options. Option #1: Scribble!!Adding MANY more continuous line overlapping areas to add values and movement. For some examples of this style, check out these artworks by the artist, Vince Low. He has created artwork that some people call: Scribble Portraits. Option #2: Background OptionsCarefully trace over your continuous line with sharpie just like the first portrait, but now add something in the background to make the white and black portrait stand out. Below are examples of students who have used newspaper in the background. But you could use any of the example backgrounds below:
Magazine Collage Options: Focus on Words or Text: Fill the background will various colors of text from magazines. Be sure to unify it by the way you lay them out or the size of the words/letters you use.
Magazine Collage + Gesso + Watercolor = unified magic! Take your magazine collage a step further by putting a layer of Gesso overtop. This will be translucent and have enough of a tooth that you can do a watercolor wash overtop to unify your color scheme.  Paper Quilling: Create a 3D textured effect with design or pattern using colored paper strips and paper quilling techniques in the background.
Do you have another technique you'd like to try out!? Discuss it with Mrs. Denison to see if it can be the option you go with!
Today, we will be picking your best continuous line contour and you will carefully trace over each part of your line with sharpie. Then you will pick 1-2 areas to add MINIMAL watercolor to add emphasis to the piece. See some of the fabulous examples below:
Hello Students!

If you have time after you create you weebly blog, I have designed an assignment to familiarize you with the free online editing software, Pixlr. We will be looking at the photographs of Annie Leibovitz and colorizing them with our own color schemes. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the word document below in order to colorize your own Annie Leibovitz photograph. Make sure you re-save the work using your name so you can keep the work you have done. Please note, Pixlr doesn't work with google chrome.

(remember, each 2-page spread can/should include visual journaling techniques AND be focused around a theme that you are developing for your book. spread #1: Collage Papers & visual journaling techniquesWe started off the semester by collaging different materials and textured papers and then drawing or painting on top in the style of your theme. Spread #2: Include a Quote & visual journaling techniquesFor this 2 page spread, you need to include a quote, stick with your theme and add some mixed media layers with visual journaling techniques. Spread #3: famous painting/ artwork & Visual Journaling techniquesFor this 2 page spread, you need to include your take on a famous artist painting or masterwork. Try to ensure that it goes with your theme of your overall book. Spread #4: Pocket & Visual Journaling techniquesFor this 2-page spread, you will continue to stick with your theme, but include some sort of pocket (and something to put inside the pocket!). Also, include visual journaling techniques. Spread #5: add a boarder & visual journal layering techniquesCreate a two page spread that goes with your overall theme, but this time, include a boarder that matches the overall theme of the book.
