<\/a><\/p>\nFill half the paper with marks similar to those shown above. Include following variations:<\/p>\n
- \n
- use the tip and then the side of of the pencil lead<\/li>\n
- vary the pressure<\/li>\n
- try soft curves and hard angles<\/li>\n
- create deliberate shapes and random, organic lines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Now hold the pencil as shown in B and fill the other half of the paper.<\/p>\n

- depth<\/strong> : converge lines to give the illusion of depth<\/li>\n
- scale<\/strong> : vary thickness to vary size<\/li>\n
- overlap<\/strong> : draw overlapping forms to create depth<\/li>\n
- form<\/strong> : add straight, curved and angled lines to define an object’s form<\/li>\n
- movement<\/strong> : use curving lines to direction or movement<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThis assignment will challenge you to recreate an image from art history using only the brush tool in Adobe Illustrator. There will be several images to choose from at the bottom of this assignment page. Each image uses contour line to illustrate a subject. Using only the brush tool, you will redraw two of the drawings. Consider how line changes direction, curves, ends abruptly, or creates angles. Pay attention to the detail present in the image you selected and trace as much of it as you can. Use only black line on white ground.<\/p>\n
- \n
- click on image bellow and get full-screen version before dragging to your desktop<\/li>\n
- create a new file in illustrator<\/li>\n
- place the image on the page; scale it to fit full page<\/li>\n
- redraw the image<\/li>\n
- save<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
To complete your work, hide your source image and then save as drawingYourName.pdf<\/strong> file for submission on canvas.<\/p>\n
