Grade 11 and 12 Concept Drawings

Please note that these drawings can be A4 or A3. Obviously your choice of meduim will influence the scale...for example charcoal and pastel would be better on A3 and pencil and pencil crayon is better suited to A4.

Make sure that you create an illusion of space and form.
see the following links for help

Also make sure that your content is original and links with your theme.

Your inspiration could be drawing from life (i.e an observation drawing of a protea) or  from you own photograph or a collage of images.  Make sure that your composition is interesting (i.e analyse your work according to the elements and principles of art).

Need help with composition? see ppt for some ideas

Some drawing notes:
- As senior art students you should be able to select content that is formally (the composition should reflect the elements and principles of art) and conceptually interesting.  Try drawing from still lifes or good photos.  Make sure your content reflects your topic and is original.
- thumbnails are a good way of experimenting with various compositions and form an integral part of your sourcebook.
-you can work in any drawing meduim (pen and ink/ colour pencil/ watercolour and pen..)
