Tattoo Design Project
225 pts.

For this project you are to design a tattoo, real or imagined, to be drawn twice, once on 9” X 12” drawing paper, and again scaled down to its intended size on the body using a grid (to be demonstrated in class and see link below). Your drawing should be inspired by tattoos researched in class, and you will provide 2 examples of tattoos which you used as influences. You will combine elements from each tattoo to form your new tattoo drawing. 

Criteria for assessment: 

Materials exploration sheet - 25 pts.
​
Tattoo design, colored or rendered, in the size intended for the body and 
 
Scaled tattoo design, colored or rendered, different from original size:   100 pts.
 
Artist Statement describing tattoo, your influences and process for creating it.  -   50 pts.
 
Turned in examples of two tattoos researched for inspiration.     -  50 pts.




Scaling a drawing with a Grid
Click HERE 
Begin by researching your TWO tattoo types...

Draw a LARGE version of your tattoo that takes up a majority of a 9 "x 12"  piece of paper...

After your LARGE tattoo is finished,  find a piece of tracing paper (in the drawer near the plant window) and draw on it a grid labeled 1-? on the top and A-?  on the side..

TRACE you tattoo on your grid  paper...

​Next, on a separate piece of drawing paper  draw a smaller grid...  

COPY, square by square, your original drawing  in the smaller squares... shrinking your original drawing...

TAKE YOUR TIME! The longer you take, the more precise your drawing will be!
