Essential Questions? Questions to think about while working on this assignment: What do Illuminated Manuscripts tell us about human beings and the idea of communication? How can imagery enhance the communicative value of a text? What should we take into consideration when designing imagery for a text? How are Illuminated Manuscripts , picture books, comic books, web pages, magazines, etc. related?

Project Requirements Detailed Border/Ruled Lines Decorated Lettering style Recognizable Letter Centered Letter First letter of first or last name Illusion of Depth - Dimension A Detailed object/symbolism/etc. Space must be filled Must be traced with sharpie No pencil lines showing Gold highlights

Does the letter have to be straight on compositionally? Does the border have to contain the letter/background?\ Think of contrast….. Size- big/small Colors – color theory Shapes – organic/geometric Value Texture/pattern Unity Think outside the box

How can you make one you ask? what you’ll need:: - A piece of drawing paper - A pencil and eraser - A ruler - An idea of what letter you want to create, perhaps your initial. - A theme you are going to base your letter around, for example a mythological creature, or a variety of plants. - A black fine tip sharpie marker - Colored pencils, crayon, paint for color and gold glue for gold leaf

How can you make one you ask? STEPS TO FOLLOW: CREATE YOUR BOARDER MAKE YOUR LETTER WITHIN THE BORDER ADD YOUR DETAILS AROUND YOUR LETTER AND BORDER ONCE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH YOUR DESIGN, TRACE EVERYTHING IN SHARPIE ERASE YOUR PENCIL LINES TRACE YOUR LETTER WITH THE GOLD GLUE ADD COLOR RETRACE YOUR SHARPIE LINES.
