2/23/11 Basic Drawing

Today's Class- Today we did the final line drawing of the semester. I set up a still life with a variety of objects, some we've drawn before, some we haven't.

How to make this up- You will need to gather a particular group of objects and set up a still life of your own, as in the student example above. The list of objects and the other particulars of the assignment can be found here. This is a graded project, and must be made up to receive partial credit.

Homework- Set up a still life. Put a small box on a table, drape with a sheet or towel, and then arrange any 4 dissimilar objects of approximate size- one on the box and three around it. Draw the set up on a page of your sketchbook using pencil line only. Leaving everything exactly where it is, move yourself to a different position and draw it again on a new page using pencil line only. Total of two sketchbook drawings.

For next class 3/1/12- We will start our study of value. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, both vine and compressed charcoal, kneaded eraser, and spray fixative.
