The Illusion of Weaving

This project expands our use of value in art to create depth and perspective.  We will use value changes to show the layering of objects in a drawing.  

If one object goes behind another object in a picture, artists can add shadow to show this arrangement.  We will practice this as we create the illusion of weaving.  Study these images:

 In these two examples, I have used this technique to "weave"  

                                                                 branches and pipes.  

Ms. Ammons's Sample #1

Ms. Ammons's Sample #2

You will be creating a drawing of your own that uses optical weaving.  Watch the video for instruction, or read the directions in the link.  Focus on these four goals:

         VALUE

          BLENDING COLORS

          EVEN COLORING

          CREATIVITY
