Hmmm,  SOOOOOOOO much to consider!

 

Steps:

  • Draw 10 different simple line drawings in the shapes you think might make interesting mugs.
  • From the 10 pick your favorites 5.
    • if need be, use silhouette, to help draw 5 new versions of your mug with better symmetry

  • Now pick your FAVORATE  and on a new page copy the shape 5 times.
  • Now add different textures/designs/patterns (SEE BELOW) to each version.
  • Choose your favorite… this will be the mug you make!
  • Once chosen I want you to make a Draft- a good copy drawing with all your intended detail. Your draft should contain both a front and a side view.  (use a single page of paper, putting both views on it… remember your NAME.
  • PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO UP LOAD EVERYTHING TO TEAMS.

 

What are designs and textures you ask???
