A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. ... Lines often define the edges of a form. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin. They lead your eye around the composition and can communicate information through their character and direction.

2D Composition:
WHAT PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN AND ELEMENTS OF ART ARE EVIDENT, DEMONSTRATED, IN YOUR WORK.
2D SURFACE:
Your artwork demonstrates an understanding of design principles as applied to a 2D surface:
Unity/Variety
- Emphasis
- Contrast
DRAWING:
Your artwork addresses:
light and shade
- rendering of form
- mark-making

IDEAS:
Using different textures from nature and from your class room to create a 2D texture composition of yourself
MATERIALS:
2 Paper, 1 large stock paper, eraser, pencil, green color pencil, scissors, envelope, sharpie, pen, sketchbook, a photo of your self, ruler, and a fine thin sharpie
PROCESSES
1. Grab one paper, using the green color pencil, shade 10 different textures that is around your classroom (ex. the wall, chair, keyboard, printer, etc.) and use the other paper doing the same process, this time outside, obtain 10 textures like: a leaf, wood, concrete, etc.
2. Use a scissor to cut out each texture you shaded and label on the back of where it came from, and put the cut out textures in a envelope for later use.
3. In your sketchbook, create 20 boxes and use a sharpie to outline the box and use either a thin sharpie, pencil, or pen to recreate the textures you shaded that are from the envelope.
4. You need a picture of yourself, print it out in black and white 6x7 inch and you will create a grid using a ruler that is 1x1 inch with a total of 30 boxes with a pencil. Using the large stock paper create a grid that is 2x2 with a total of 30 perfect boxes and you will have 5 half boxes at the bottom of one side of the stock paper.
5. Looking at the picture of yourself, try to drawing a bigger version of yourself onto the stock paper using the grid as a guide. Once done, outline the drawing of yourself with a pen or thin sharpie without doing any shading.
6. Use a pencil to draw different textures into each box that is the drawing of yourself looking at references from the textures you have collected in your sketchbook. Also draw textures that is outside of the drawing of yourself as a background filling up all 30 boxes and the 5 half square boxes.
7. Go over the textures with the pen or thin sharpie, using the sharpie, pen, pencil, and/or thin sharpie to create shading and manipulation as you draw.
8. And your done ✔️
PRACTICE/EXPERIMENTATION:
Describe three things you liked about this learning activity.
Adding textures to the drawing
- Sharpie manipulation as I outline the artwork
- Looking for textures around the classroom and outside
Explain what part of this activity you would like to learn to do better.
I would like to do better on the outline of the grid when I had first started this activity
Discuss what part of this learning activity was the most difficult.
Drawing myself on paper exactly from the selected picture
Identify three new ideas, skills or information you learned.
I would leave space out to create a white outline instead of using a white ink pen or marker
- The way you would use a pen, thin sharpie, and a regular size sharpie to at dimension to the art work
- I use a pencil to make light shadows to the artwork for example, in the eyes and top to corner of the bottom lips
If you could do this activity over again state what you would do differently?
I would use different to more detail textures
