Mimicking Marks OBJECTIVE— Learn how to accurately translate information through scaling; by evaluating and reworking images. KEY TERMS— Line Quality, Scaling, Proportion, Observation, Evaluation MATERIALS— Select the medium that best represents the work you are trying to translate, keeping in mind that you want to create it like the artist created it. Step I – YOU MUST PICK 2 OF THE 3 IMAGES BELOW This assignment is about exploring different types of mark making and line qualities. The first part of this assignment requires that you are to visually scale one quadrant ¼ of each image and reproduce the artist's marks as accurately as possible in the larger blank rectangle below that image. You are to focus on an accurately translating both the image scale and the marks (kind of like a human copier). Do not cheat!...This is about practicing and developing your seeing skills. In addition, be mindful of the drawing medium that you select, as some materials are better at making certain lines...BUT you can only use one drawing tool per image, DO NOT mix pen with pencil, or pencil with charcoal, etc.! Note each of the rectangles corresponds with that image only, do not mix them up or they will be inaccurate!, You will print off these pages and cut out the opening that corresponds with each image. You will then trace it two times for each image directly onto your sketchbook page – also cut out and paste the original image on that page as well NOTE: YOU ARE TRYING MAKE THE IMAGE THE SAME WAY THE ARTIST DID…IF THERE IS A BROAD STROKE THEN YOU SHOULD BE USING A MATERIAL THAT CAN MAKE THAT KIND OF MARK IN ONE PASS…THIS IS ABOUT ANALYSIS, CONCENTRATION, AND TRANSLATION. Step II After you have completed the first attempt, you will then evaluate where you made mistakes, or errors in translation. Ask yourself the following questions and write /type the answers next to the drawing that you have already made… 1a. Did you use the best medium to draw with? 1b. Would another medium do a better job to make the marks? If so, change your drawing tool! 2a. Did you pay attention to the edges - are the lines/marks hitting the correct places along those edges? 2b. Are the objects within the section in correct proportion to the original? Where? 2c. Did you forget any information? Where? (If you are having trouble finding the errors, find a friend who is willing to be honest…sometimes as the artist we are too close to the work, and it can be difficult to give an objective evaluation) Step III

This assignment is about exploring different types of mark making and line qualities. The first part of this assignment requires that you are to visually scale one quadrant ¼ of each image and reproduce the artist's marks as accurately as possible in the larger blank rectangle below that image. You are to focus on an accurately translating both the image scale and the marks (kind of like a human copier). Do not cheat!...This is about practicing and developing your seeing skills. In addition, be mindful of the drawing medium that you select, as some materials are better at making certain lines...BUT you can only use one drawing tool per image, DO NOT mix pen with pencil, or pencil with charcoal, etc.! Note each of the rectangles corresponds with that image only, do not mix them up or they will be inaccurate!, You will print off these pages and cut out the opening that corresponds with each image. You will then trace it two times for each image directly onto your sketchbook page – also cut out and paste the original image on that page as well
N O T E : YOU ARE TRYING MAKE THE IMAGE THE SAME WAY THE ARTIST DID…IF THERE IS A BROAD STROKE THEN YOU SHOULD BE USING A MATERIAL THAT CAN MAKE THAT KIND OF MARK IN ONE PASS…THIS IS ABOUT ANALYSIS, CONCENTRATION, AND TRANSLATION. S t e p I I
After you have completed the first attempt, you will then evaluate where you made mistakes, or errors in translation. Ask yourself the following questions and write /type the answers next to the drawing that you have already made…
1a. Did you use the best medium to draw with? 1b. Would another medium do a better job to make the marks? If so, change your drawing tool! 2a. Did you pay attention to the edges - are the lines/marks hitting the correct places along those edges? 2b. Are the objects within the section in correct proportion to the original? Where? 2c. Did you forget any information? Where? (If you are having trouble finding the errors, find a friend who is willing to be honest…sometimes as the artist we are too close to the work, and it can be difficult to give an objective evaluation)

You will now redo the same section -- keeping in mind your own evaluation, and making new choices to help result in a more accurate conclusion. For example if you think the choice of drawing tool should have been a pen instead of a pencil, then you should change it for the second attempt. Please pay close attention, the second go around will be a bit easier because you are more familiar with the subject, but don’t lose focus!
