12/10/10 Basic Drawing

Today's Class- Today the class did the final drawing of the semester. A typical still life was set up, and each student chose from among charcoal, ink, or conte crayon to draw it. Other than a few minutes spent filling out the end of the semester evaluation forms, students were given the entire period to complete the drawings, which were collected at the end of the class period.

How to make this up- Everyone still in the class showed up today, so no one needs to make it up.

Homework- No new homework this week. If you're caught up with all the sketchbook assignments you can relax. If not, you have a week to make them up. Look back through this blog for week by week assignments.

*******Second Half Portfolio********

The 2nd Half Portfolio will be graded next week during the class period. Complete portfolios should include the following 6 drawings:

Nov 5 Ink Wash from still life (2)

Nov 19 Conte Crayon still life (one black, one red)

Dec 3 Conte Crayon mannequins (2 red and black)

For next class 12/17/10- Final grading day. We will start with a group critique of today's drawings, and I'll be grading the 2nd half portfolios and sketchbooks, with all to be returned by the end of the class. Make sure you bring all the portfolio drawings and your sketchbooks, or you won't receive a grade for them.
