Draw your FEET! They carry us EVERYWHERE we go! We hide them all
winter & set them free in the summer. Draw your summer feet… in water,
covered in sand, in your favorite flip-flops, or sandals, resting on your recliner,
feet in the air… you think hands are difficult!? Try drawing those lovely little
piggies down there! Love your toes : )
Patterned & draped fabrics drawing or painting. The fabrics you use for this
should include patterns, lines, grids or designs. The patterns on the fabrics
become distorted as you drape the fabric over objects. Use different colors &
values to create an interesting contrast! Fill your page and create a close-up
composition of the changes in lighting and distortion of the fabric & patterns!
Personal Still-life/Remembrance. Collect personal objects that hold
significance or importance to you. They may have been a gift, or represent an
important time or event. It could be a family heirloom… your grandmother’s hand
painted pottery, etc… Arrange the items in a few different compositions… think
about how to convey their importance. You can incorporate photos, awards,
medals. This is strictly an observational drawing! Draw from LIFE!
Draw emotional portrait: Complete a portrait of yourself or somebody else.)
Facial expression is vital! How can you change expressions to convey an
emotion? What does your face do when you are tired or bored? How do you
look when you are angry or sad, happy or glad? Faces you make to a child are
pretty entertaining. Make an interesting facial expression.

AP STUDIO SUMMER ASSIGNMENT OPTIONS
Complete minimum of FIVE (5) completed art projects over the summer!
AP critique of summer assignments will be FIRST WEEK BACK, bring your
completed work to me on our first day back to school! Also, as part of your
assessment of summer work, keep a sketchbook. Sketchbooks will count
as a grade.
SUMMER ASSIGNMENT OPTIONS:
Reflective still-life. Use only highly reflective or shiny objects such as: glass,
mirror, metal, liquid or plastics. Arrange your items in an interesting manner or
grouping to showcase reflection, image distortion, color reflection. Have fun with
this one… distortion through glass
Unusual Interior Space Drawing or Painting. What is unusual you ask?
Maybe the inside of your junk drawer, closet, medicine cabinet, refrigerator, a
sock drawer, a jewelry box, a kitchen cupboard, the china cabinet, a music box,
your handbag, a suitcase, your attic, your “mind”… there is no wrong answer!
Always look around because what seems mundane could be fabulous!

o Why you chose this drawing to copy. What attracted you to
it? Be specific and don’t just say “Because I liked it.”
What did you hope to learn from it?
o Line: What kind of line or lines does the artist use (gesture,
organizational, contour, exquisite, a combination or hybrid).
Why do you think the artist chose this kind of linework for
this drawing? What does it achieve?
o Composition: Identify the dominant and secondary
Compositional System (refer to your handout from class) and
explain what these do for the drawing both visually and
contextually.
o Positive/Negative Spatial Relationship: Discuss if and how
the artist integrates the figure/ground relationship in the
drawing. Does the drawing have a background? If so, how
does this contribute to the composition and meaning of the
piece? If not, why did the artist choose not to put a
background in?
o Value: How does the artist work with value in the drawing?
Identify the light source. Is the subject lit with form light, rim
light, diffused light, etc? Is value used for depth of field
(atmospheric perspective), emphasis and focal point, etc?
o Perspective: Identify and discuss the various ways that the
artist achieves depth of field in the drawing: 1) Overlapping
shapes 2) Diminishing sizes (objects get smaller as they
recede). 3) Value and color contrasts: darker values push
forward, lighter values recede (atmospheric or aerial
perspective). Warm colors push forward, cooler colors
recede. 4) Details and Edges: Details and sharper edges
push forward, including on single objects. 5) Linear
Perspective: 1, 2 and 3 point linear perspective, which
depends on establishing a horizon line (your eye level) and
converging lines to vanishing points. Foreshortening. OR,
does the artist purposefully discard depth of field intentions
and makes the picture plane flat? Why? What does this do
for the drawing?
o Texture: Describe how the artists render the surface character
of things. Artists describe textures with a variety of marks,
including hatching and cross-hatching, and individual ways
that can become a signature style (think of Van Gogh).

o Texture: Describe how the artists render the surface character
of things. Artists describe textures with a variety of marks,
including hatching and cross-hatching, and individual ways
that can become a signature style (think of Van Gogh).
Texture can also be achieved through the use of varying art
materials. The use of a texture and mark making gives
energy and dimension to an otherwise uniform drawing
surface. Describe if the surface of objects/subjects in the
drawing look smooth, rough, etc. and how the artist achieved
this.
o Color: If you are copying a pastel: name the dominant color
harmony and, if there is one, the secondary harmony. There
is a separate handout posted under this assignment to help
you identify color harmonies. If you don’t own a color wheel,
download one from the net. (Color harmonies are diagramed
on color wheels)
o Conclusion: Tell me what you learned about this master
drawing and your own drawing skills/knowledge by
writing the analysis.
