Drop Card Project
On a piece of 12x16 paper, you will create a project by dropping a playing card
into various placements.
Holding the playing card a few inches above your paper, you will drop it and
where it falls you will draw an outline.
You will do this 12 times, overlapping and stretching across the entire paper.
After you draw the outline of the card shapes very lightly with a regular #2 pencil,
you will then draw various lines inside your cards, changing every time the card
touches (overlaps) another card. Use your black pen that is in your toolbox. You
do not need to draw your designs first with your #2 pencil, but IF you choose to,
your lines must be very light so they can be erased.
Vary your LINES zig zag, wavy, thick, thin, cross-hatching, ect.
Vary your designs do not repeat
Repeat the pattern inside the card shape
Leave the background white
***Make the Last Card in COLOR use a design, draw a
picture, ect.
Have Fun and BE CREATIVE!
