Line+work+task

=**Still life drawing task.**= You are to create a **still life** which can be developed from a drawing or photograph.

**Here are a suggestion of possible themes you could explore:**

 * 1) Personal devices. These can include phones, Ipods, computers.
 * 2) Fast food you enjoy consuming,
 * 3) A few pieces of your favorite clothing.

**What to do:**

 * 1) You can produce a drawing, take a photo of still life items or find an image from the internet to use. //**(Remember to ensure that you do an advanced search so the file size is large enough to use)**//
 * 2) Carefully consider the compositional structure of your piece.
 * 3) Bright and vibrant colours must be used.
 * 4) The background needs to be in contrast.
 * 5) Line work must dominate this piece. This means you must use line decoratively and must ensure at least five different types of lines are used. (Thin, thick, broken, organic, straight, subtle, contour line, curved, jagged, parallel etc) You need to add line work to enhance the design.
 * 6) The line work must vary throughout the design with some lines being used more boldly to make certain areas, such as major items more dominant.
 * 7) The line work in other areas needs to be more subtle but decorative.

**Resources which can be used.**

 * 1) You can initially create a drawing which can be scanned to make a digital file.
 * 2) You can take a photo but it must be a JPEG file and should be a high resolution image.
 * 3) You can use any programs to add colour to your design. For instance: Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Gimp, Paint, Artrage.
 * 4) Line work can easily be added to your work in programs such as Artrage and Photoshop.
 * 5) You can use the Wacom tablets to make drawing the lines much easier.
