First let's review...
SHAPE | FORM |
IMPLIED FORMS Today we will be drawing on a FLAT, 2-DIMENSIONAL piece of paper. We will be using LINES and COLOR and VALUE to make our cubs look NOT-FLAT and 3-DIMENSIONAL. These are called IMPLIED FORMS. In paintings or drawings that are flat, artists create FORMS that are IMPLIED because the artist creates an illusion of 3-DIMENSIONS when its really flat. |
Let's Get Started...
On a piece of paper or cardboard, make two dots. This will be the length of each side of your smaller hexagon. Line up these two dots with the diagonal lines you created in the previous step. Using your straightedge, connect the dots to create the sides of your hexagon. See images below.
In this step you are going to erase some lines we do not need any more. You will be erasing, 3 short diagonal lines in the smaller hexagon and 3 short diagonal lines in the outer hexagon. See images below. When you are finished, sharpie your pencil lines to make them stand out!
STEP 4: Color You can use anything you want to add some color to your cubes. In my first try, I chose to go with an ANALOGOUS or RELATED COLOR family. (RED-PURPLE-BLUE). Remember! ANALOGOUS colors are a set of three colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Each family has two primary colors and the secondary color they create when they mix. (see below) |
