Happy Thursday!
TODAY - Finish your Hippo and post it to your blog.
THEN go to THIS PAGE and select a nursery rhyme to illustrate. Before you begin your illustration, create 3 idea sketches to discuss with a small group of students to determine your best composition.
Your illustration must include:
-at least 1 character, with the level of detail involved in the Hippo or other cartoon tutorials. If you have more than one character, they must all be this caliber - no sloppy figures, no stick figures.
-A background, similar in detail to the Landscape tutorial. Just one flat color will not cut it. You should be using the pen tool, gradients, creating brushes, and showing me the level of skill you have accomplished in this class.
-The text of your nursery rhyme.
Think of this like it is a page in a book of nursery rhymes for children. Consider your target audience in your design.

I will be checking in with each of you on your progress today, so you will need to work independently for a large portion of the class period. Please stay on task and help one another!
