This document provides instructions for Assignment No. 1 in an architectural design course. Students are asked to take a digital photo of themselves, print it in grayscale, and use stippling technique to copy the tones and shades with small dots on tracing paper. The goal is to practice developing tonal values through stippling. Students must scan and email their completed stippled self-portrait to the professor by the next class for a graphic roster.

Purpose: To observe and develop tonal value using a technique known as stippling
or Dots.......................!
Task: Phase One: Take a color or black and white digital picture of yourself.
In other words a Face, head and neck shot - a portrait or passport photo.
Phase Two: Make a non-color (sepia or grey tone) print of your Passport type
portrait (head only) and Print it 5” x7” .
Phase Three: Place a sheet of mylar or tracing paper over the print and copy/
imitate the various grey tones with varying densities of very small dots (.01mm).
The final should look kinds like the Wall Street Journal examples I showed you
in class. Recognizable but not too detailed!

so that I can have a graphic roster. This assignment is due by the beginning of
the next class.
