This is your opportunity to show what you have learned this year in terms of COMPOSITION (size, view, and placement). Using any material and theme we have explored this year complete an artwork that includes at least one shoe as part of the composition. It should be completed using an entire 18” X 24” paper, it does not have to remain as one piece. You must complete 2 thumbnail drawings first on the back.

Choose one STYLE (perceptual, expressive, non-objective) and one ART CONCEPT (pos./neg. space, proportion, narrative, gesture, etc.) to use in completing your shoe artwork. Portfolio: cut paper cropping & zooming positive/negative space Shape & Value: conté, charcoal, tempera, paper drawing without using line, only value
