PROJECT 03: Grayscale

Description
Create 2 non-representational (abstract) compositions that show a wide rage of gray values using only pencil. You cannot use gradients within each shape. They must be continuous values of gray.
Apply more pressure to obtain darker grays and less pressure for lighter gray values. pay attention to detail and craft. Remember no smudging to get the gray.

Materials
• pencil (2H, HB, 2B, 4B,6B)
• 9x6in paper (2)

Process
• First practice your grayscale in your sketchbooks. there should be up to ten scales of gray from black
   gray to very light gray and all the values in-between.

• Once you adapt to using your pencil and it's various pressures, start doing thumbnails in your
   sketchbook, at least 3 for each composition (total 6 thumbnails on sketchbook.)

• Consult with your teacher; select the best pieces. Choose 2 final designs.

• Re-create them with pencil in your final format.
