Project 2: Vocabulary, Analysis, Creatures sketches and Landscape Thumbnails

                                   I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 

                                  Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. 

                                  I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate...

Well, we don't have class on Monday, January 18, MLK Day, so we'll be doubling down on this week's project.  For Monday, January 25...

1. Working with your silhouettes, create 25 sketches of the creatures of Trittonia and put them onto a clean sheet. Black and white/gray scale. These do not have to be 25 separate characters, but develop at least 5 characters (5 characters x 5 different poses/actions/views each = 25 sketches).

2. Create 25 environment thumbnail sketches. These should be SMALL. Put 'em on a clean sheet.

3. Create 20 original images of visual research. These must be original images and may be photos or drawings based on observation.

4. Create another sheet of found visual research images. Yup!

5. Analyze 3 images formally using your new-found power of... vocabulary. Write a short one paragraph analysis for each image.

All of this is due to your blog on Monday, January 25.
