Week3:

Lecture Slides on Chiaroscuro

The theme of the third week is light and shadow, so the teacher in class taught us to use the relationship between light and dark to divide a pear. You need to use the pen tool in AI to divide the pears into light and dark colors according to the relationship between light and dark, and fill them with color.

Based on the video content and the methods described in it, I learned methods such as copying and rotating, and finally produced the following content.
