THE STUDY OF INSECTS
A Project based on Composition and Drawing Techniques
This assignment is a comprehensive study and drawing of insects. Find one insect that interests you. Use magazines, books or the Internet to find your imagery. You may like a particular bug because you think it’s beautiful or maybe you dislike the insect because it’s creepy, or can harm you. No matter what, choose one and start sketching. Consider why you’ve chosen the bug you have. Go on-line and research several interesting facts about your creature. Your job is to educate those who view your drawing. For example: Why do fireflies glow? Why do grasshoppers make sound? Why are some people allergic to bees? Is your insect camouflaged or bright in color? Does it crawl or fly? I would like you to stay away from butterflies and spiders. Please follow the guidelines below for specific instructions.
