You do not have to include yourself or a human of any kind if you don't want to.
Our studio this week is to depict your own idea of What the Future Holds hundreds of years from now, the sky’s the limit. We are going to start out with an idea worksheet to organize our thoughts. Questions to ponder are: How do you think technology will advance and what will be created? What will happen to our environment, to the trees and wildlife? Will natural devastations continue to occur and change how we live? Where will we live: under the sea, in the sky like the Jetsons or will we resort back to living in trees due to natural devastations?
Our next step is to draw some thumbnail sketches of what we imagine the future will look like hundreds of years from now. As a refresher, what is a thumbnail sketch and what is its purpose? That is right, it’s really rough and helps us set up our composition. And a composition a fancy term for our picture right? I want you to create at least two thumbnail sketches within your sketchbooks. Within our drawings, we are going to be including both organic and geometric shapes. A square, triangle, circle, etc. are considered geometric shapes. Squiggly, jagged, and other irregular lines are considered organic. We are going to be overlapping these different shapes and using value to give our work a sense of perspective and depth. Value refers to dark and light shading or colors.
To create our final work we are going to draw our futuristic landscape on a 8.5x11 piece of paper with pencil and color our pieces using fabric crayons so we can iron our pictures on white t-shirts I picked up for all of you. I want you to fill most of the page, however if you want to keep some spaces white that is fine. When using your pencils make sure you press down lightly. However, the fabric crayons we want to press down hard to make sure our design transfers well when we iron them on our t-shirts. Make sure to brush off any flaking. Have an adult iron your drawing on your t-shirt. Look at the back back of the Crayola fabric crayons for tips. To intensify your coloring upon your t-shirt go back into, further color your drawing upon the t-shirt with fabric crayon. Once your done with the crayon place a blank piece of paper on top of your design and use the iron again. You may also wish to use fabric marker to intensify color as well.
Reframe from using letters and numbers. However, if you really wish to use letters or numbers write them backwards so when you iron your design on the t-shirt they will come out right. Ask an adult for help to make sure you have the words right.
