Ink Action Hero — Grade 5
Make a drawing on paper of black-and-white original action figure using energetic line, texture, and contrast for a chosen audience, with ethical inspiration notes, iterations, and an artist statement. Practice texture using drawing marks only. Choose your own details and arrangement.
Study the example for possibilities, then close or cover it. Your work should make different choices.
