SB#5 is called Silhouetting. Open you SB open to a new page and draw the first 20 objects that come to your mind. When drawing them vary the size of each and fill the entire page. Only draw the outline of each object. Once the outlines are complete you must use your ebony pencil to shade each object in by using each of the following methods. Hatching, Crosshatching, value scale and solid. Take a look at this example of the birds so that you understand that all of the page must be filled. The background should be shading in with a #4 value from your value scale. So the only white on your page should be in the objects of hatching and crosshatching and the value scale. I will grade this much harder that the previous 4 assignments. Make sure to make it creative and use your imagination.
