CARS

Everyone has an appreciation for the automobile. from the excited 16 year old to the playful toddler to the millionaire playboy. Cars have been works of art for as long as designers and engineers started debating over weather or not they should have seat belts. Designers thought seat belts got in the way while engineers knew that safety was paramount. No matter what your favorite car is late 60 American muscle or luxurious high end exotic European racers, cars fulfill a part of design that cannot be paralleled.

students are each asked to find an image online of their favorite car- the image must be taken by a professional, reasons are as follows: this is a color matching project, professional images. Certain color changes and specifics take place.

Foreshortening is the illusion that an image has less length than width when in fact the reality would say otherwise.
Also as the angle of an image increases the eccentricity of a circle decreases creating an ellipse.

The drawing of the car is completed using a GRID to take full advantage of proportion and sizing issues that can arise the drawing will be the first grade where students will be graded on accuracy and use of line for break up of color.

The second Grade is the color matching using cut paper from magazines. Again Students will be graded on accuracy and use of materials. We use Gloss medium for "glue" the glosse medium is an accrilyc based medium that will dry as a clear coat over the cut paper leaving a sealed finish.
