Task 3: Thumbnail Sketches & Experiments
Now create your own A3 page of drawings to arrive at your final intention. These are your 'thumbnail' sketches.
You may use any media / materials to create any meaning / mood.
If you trying out new media (in Grade 11), create another A3 page showing your tuition and experiments. Make your mistakes here and reflect on them.
Develop a certain set of skills that will happen you achieve the ideas laid out in your thumbnails.
Present your skills acquired as part of your A3 experiments page.
some thoughts about designing with Thumbnail Sketches
"Don't fret over details. Use thumbnails to establish approximate locations for major elements. (the examples described above may actually be "too perfect" — don't worry about making "pretty" pictures.)
Try for an approximately proportional page size (if doing sketches for a full page layout) but don't get out the ruler. You're aiming for a general idea of how the piece might look." Jacci Howard Bear (http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/basic/a/thumbnails.htm)
