Blizzard Bag Assignment: Creative Character Vector

The blizzard bag assignments are meant to replace the work of TWO snow days. You must complete the assignment below by JUNE 1st and turn into the Google Drive hand in folder titled "Blizzard Bags Assignment". The assignment should take you about 90 minutes to complete from start to finish. If you do not complete the assignment, you will be marked two days absent. If you have any questions during the assignment, please see me in class or email me. Seniors are exempt from the blizzard bag assignment because they are not restricted to the 180 day school year from the DESE.

Project Description:
Your assignment is to create a cute or humorous character using Inkpad, a free app on the app store. The app works very much like Illustrator and is very easy to use. 

Steps:

1. Research vector characters. Look at professional designers. Check out: Pixar, Burnt Toast Creative, 
2. Write a 1 page description of the character including its name, location, backstory, and any other info.
3. Download Inkpad.
4. Draw your character using the pen tool.
5. Save to camera roll.
6. Upload the image AND the character description into the Drive folder titled: Blizzard Bag Assignment.

Objectives:

• Study digital art by professional designers
• Apply your drawing skills to create a fun vector
• Use 3-dimensionality to create a more professional and realistic looking character

Things to consider:

• You can use images of animals or people to use as reference -- just upload them into the Inkpad gallery.
• What is your character's personality? How can you show it on its face?
• An active pose is better than a passive pose.
• Don't forget the background!
