Craft: The teapots were our first opportunity to use the drawing tool. We were instructed to copy a teapot placed in front of us and choose a brush stroke in Adobe Illustrator to draw the teapot. We used a computerized/magnetic tool and drew onto a mouse pad tool and the sketch mark would appear on the screen. For the first two teapots I was just practicing with the tool, becoming more comfortable, and made one teapot in black and white, and another of the same teapot adding soem color with the drawing tool as well. For the next teapot, we were instructed to give our teapot an environment, and also to use the same drawing tool. I kept the same brush stroke, but added different color, and put the teapot into an environment. There was a pepsi can, a mouse, counter, and computer within the same area as the teapot. Next, I drew a teapot using the shape tools in Illustrator. Finally, I used the drawing tool again, but also used the anchor and point tool.
Concept: The concept of this assignment was to become comfortable with a new tool in illustrator by warming up using that tool, and then incorporating the use of the drawing tool into drawings where additional tools would also be used. Also, an additional concept was to show that every object is always in a larger environment.
Composition: Most of my teapot drawings do not have much composition because the teapots are alone on the page. However, they are placed primarily in the center of the page to make them standout because they are the main/only focus. In the illustration where the teapot is in an environment, I made the teapot larger than the can, mouse, and computer in order to show that the teapot is closer to us than the other objects. Also, the lines were made for the counter to show that there is a separation between all of the objects.
