Found Object Drawing

Students will:
 Use the creative process by drawing found objects
 Distinguish three areas of the drawing with color schemes-analogous, complementary, and split-
complementary
 Learn to apply elements of art with good craftsmanship

SUPPLIES:
Colored pencil sets Found objects
Drawing paper Rulers

WHAT TO DO:
 Step One: Collect at least three found objects
 Step Two: Draw the objects using contour lines, on the paper. Overlap, but do
not overlap so much that it looks too busy.
 Step Three: Use a ruler to create three “visually” equal sections on the paper.
 Step Four: Designate the three sections-analogous, complementary, and split
complementary
 Step Five: Use the colored pencil to fill in the sections. (Hint: you may want to
choose the pencils you will need for the section you are working on and keep
them separate from the other pencils. This way you will not be tempted to use
other colors.)
 Step Six: Make sure you are using tones and values to give the drawing depth
and interest.
 Step Seven: When you have completed your drawing, have two peers from your
class critique your work.
 Step Eight: Write your name neatly on the back of the drawing and turn it in to
Mrs. Quinn.
