Assignment #1: Mark Making


You are to choose on interesting object; no smaller than an apple, no larger than a toaster. Then, in vine charcoal on a single side of an 18x24 sheet of sketch paper from your new pad, you are to make three (3) observational line drawings of that same object.  You are to draw each version of the object once in the following three ways:
1) continuous line: the entire object must be drawn in one unbroken, controlled, single width line, as if you were to take an extremely long piece of spaghetti an arrange it in the shape of the object
2)colligraphic line: a colligraphic line is a line that goes from thin to thick or thick to thin by either twisting your drawing tool or changing its pressure.  It is NOT a constant width along its length.  You may use as many lines as neccessary in this drawing.
3)angry line: an angry line tends to be a fast and aggressive line. It also tends to use a lot of pressure in its execution, making it fairly dark. 
The Rules
         Each version of the object must be at least life sized, and they must all be the same size
         You are to arrange the three renditions of the object on the paper so that the entire composition is balanced.
         You may not crop any of the three objects.
         The three versions of you object must more or less fill the page
         You may arrange your paper in the most appropriate format for you objects, either vertically or horizontally.  Whatever your decision, you must defend it in critique
         When finished, spray fix your drawing (outside and away from cars) so that it will not smudge.
