2/21/13 Basic Drawing


Today's Class- Today was our final line drawing of the semester, a graded project.  A still life with a variety of objects (some we've drawn before, some we haven't) was set up at the start of class, and students were given the full class to do a drawing of it.  The drawings were collected and will be returned graded next class.

How to make this up- You will need to set up a still life similar to the one above.  The list of objects to use in the still life and the other particulars of the assignment can be found here.  This is a graded assignment and must be made up as soon as possible.  

Homework- Set up a small still life.  Place a box on a table and drape with a sheet or towel.  Select three dissimilar objects of approximate size.  Place on one top of the box and the other two on the table around it.  Draw the still life in your sketchbook using the whole page, pencil line only, about the same level of detail as the class drawings from today.  Then without changing anything in the still life, move yourself to a new viewing position and draw it again in your sketchbook.  A total of two pages.

For next class 2/28/13- We will start our study of value, using charcoal.  Bring your 18" x 24" pad, both vine and compressed charcoal, kneaded eraser, and spray fixative.
