Step 3: Sketch it out (practice)
Let's go onto google image search and type in: Photographs of Sushi
Sketch 2 different sushi rolls from the following (you will have a total of 6 sketches on your page):
Top
Side
3/4 tilt
Consider the following: Shape, Line, and Texture
Step 2: Digitize it (practice)
Step 2: Digitize it (practice)
Build in illustrator the sketches from above on 3 different art boards.
One Artboard size 5x5 with the top view
One Artboard size 5x5 with the side view
One Artboard size 5x5 with the 3/4 tilt view
Consider the following: Shape, Line, Color, and Texture
Step 3: Sketch the 2 plated scenes (color optional)(practice)
Step 3: Sketch the 2 plated scenes (color optional)(practice)
Pay attention to how the sushi lays on the plate. Also how composition is working (Do we have a whole plate view? Is it zoomed into the sushi roll? is half the plate showing? Get creative)
Sketch 2 sketches of views, keep in mind what else goes on the plate -- Wasabi, Ginger, miso soup? What do you want on there.
Turn Sketches into TEAMS
Compositional Unity: Balance, Unity, Line, Shape, Texture, and Color
Step 4: Digitize your plated meal (evidence)
Step 4: Digitize your plated meal (evidence)
Choose one of your plated meal sketches and make that plated meal on an Artboard Size 10x10.
AGAIN PAY ATTENTION TO:
Balance, Unity, Line, Shape, Texture, and Color
What is on the plate? Wasabi? Ginger? Chopsticks? Miso soup? Etc,.

Learning Target:
Learning Target:
Students will design a stylized sushi plate scene in Adobe Illustrator by building custom shapes, applying texture techniques, and composing a visually appealing layout that demonstrates attention to form, detail, and overall presentation.
Learning Intentions:
Learning Intentions:
I will create original sushi-inspired shapes using Illustrator’s shape tools, Pen Tool, and Shape Builder Tool.
I will add texture to my artwork using techniques like gradients, brushes, pattern fills, and opacity masks to simulate surface details (e.g., rice, seaweed, fish).
I will study real food forms to simplify and stylize them into clean vector shapes while keeping them recognizable.
I will compose a plated food scene that feels balanced and complete, considering arrangement, scale, and negative space.
I will use layering and shadows to build a sense of depth and realism in my illustration.
I will choose a color palette that enhances the mood and visual appeal of the food and plating.
I will apply Illustrator skills with precision, maintaining clean edges, smart grouping, and organized layers.
