Chalk Monsters
Project Description: Students will create a (newly invented) monster using chalk as the primary medium. Students will show an understanding of color blending, creativity, use of space, and overall understanding of chalk materials. Approach this as if you are creating an illustration for a book or movie.
***Since you are inventing a new character you will need to be extra careful not to copy other artists creations. With this assignment you will need to pull ideas from at least 3 references and use a piece from each reference in your design.

First you need to know color basics and chalk techniques to create different effects in your monster design.
Follow along with these videos to create both the color wheel and the techniques practice.
Practice #1: Create a Color Wheel with Chalk
Practice #2: Chalk Techniques:
Step #3: Gather at least 3 resources to pull ideas from. Put those resources on a google doc and share it with me to print.
Step #4: Start drawing your monster on a LARGE 18" x 24" piece of paper.
Goals/Objectives/Learning Targets:
-Interesting composition. (try not to just place your work in the center of your paper and consider what to do with your background)
-Color blending present and chalk techniques used within drawing.
-Monster design inspired by at least 3 different resources (unique/never seen before)
***You can continue to use charcoal within your chalk drawing for areas that need to be very dark or to help with values.
