Today's Class- Today we began our study of line. I showed a few dozen slides of historical art, from cave paintings through the 20th century, discussing how artists used line and the effect it had in the art. After that, the class did a series of contour line exercises, working from shoes.
How to make this up- Use your 18" x 24" pad and the pencil(s) of your choice. Choose a shoe, one that is enclosed works best (avoid sandals, flip flops, etc). You may put multiple shoe drawings on each page (as in the example above), and even use the backs of the pages if you want. Full details of the exercises can be found here.
These are portfolio exercises, which must be made up by the first half portfolio collection.
Homework- In your sketchbook you will do a series of drawings of shoes using pencil line. You may use the same shoe for all drawings, or a variety of shoes. Draw one shoe per page in your sketchbook, drawing them large enough so that they mostly fill the page. Do the following sketches:
8 exterior contour line only
1 cross contour shoe drawing
1 full detail line drawing
For next class 2/7/13- We will continue working with line. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencils and eraser, and your sketchbook homework. I'll provide the subjects for the drawing exercises.
