Assignment
Use the techniques reinforced in class over the past few weeks to create a new hand illustrated, scanned, composited, and colored composition.
- Compositions must be 5" x 5" and printed on 8.5" x 11" paper.
- Subject matter is "Tiny town"
- You should use a range of colors in this illustration. Do not stay monochromatic, add a complementary color or use a larger part of the color spectrum.
- Should be a composite image, multiple colored drawing parts from paper or iPad assembled into one psd illustration
And Then:
- Your task is to also bring two printed copies of your composition.
- Find our use a high-quality printing paper (Epson, Ilford, Red River, Moab, etc...).
- Each print should be centered on 8.5" x 11" sheets of paper.
- Each print should have written notation on the front or back:
- Paper Manufacturer / Paper Type
- Printer Manufacturer / Model
- Print settings if possible
- This is the ideal week to experiment with print settings, write em down!
- Try different papers (matte, glossy, luster, bright, natural, warm, cool, and so on).
- Try different printers
- One print should be your best attempt at a perfect exhibition print.
- The other can be more exploratory, must be two different types of paper.
- Both prints must have the printer's marks from the photoshop file linked below.
Note:
- No prints on cheap/standard printer paper.
- No prints on paper smaller than 8.5" x 11".
- No prints without the printer marks and color bars below.
We created a Photoshop file containing square printers marks and color bars. In Photoshop you can place your art in the center and print your files with the crop and color bars. https://assets.choppingblock.com.s3.amazonaws.com/files/5x5_RGB_W_Bleed_Printing_Frame.zip
Bring with you to class next week and upload to Google Drive: svaMFAI_20211115-tiny-town-print-Illustration

Linework created as digital or analog, it's up to you.
