For this Assignment, you will need Adobe Illustrator!!!
Assignment Overview
What: Every artist through history has tackled the “Still Life” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Still_life). This week I’ll show you how to create a stylized version of a still life using the vector object, path, and point tools in Adobe Illustrator.
I want you (ideally before class so you can start on your assignment with me) to download a “Still Life” image of your choice (https://www.pexels.com/search/still%20life/) from Pexels.com.
I’ll show you how to import your image of choice into Illustrator. From there we’ll trace the photograph, and I’ll show you tools and techniques for working with color, light, shadow, and arranging objects to make a vector version of the still life. From there, your assignment is to complete your image.
To complete this assignment, please upload your Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file. This will help me see how you organized your file.
Why:
The assignment is designed to help you get to grips with Adobe Illustrator, particularly by working with the basic shape tools, alignment, and the concept of moving objects “backward” and “forward”.
