3/14/13 Basic Drawing
Today's Class- Today the class did the final charcoal value drawing of the semester, which was turned in to be graded and returned next week. While that was going on, I graded the 1st Half Portfolio, all the drawings done this semester except for the two individually graded drawings.
How to make this up- You will need to set up a still life involving both mixed value drapery and mixed value objects. Draw the still life using either vine or compressed charcoal. Student examples and the full directions for how to set up the still life can be found here.
This is a graded assignment. The longer it takes to you to make it up, the more points will be deducted from the grade.
If you did not turn in the portfolio today, complete it and bring it in as soon as possible. Again, the longer the delay, the more points will be deducted.
Homework- You will need two balls used for playing sports. One large (such as a basketball, football, soccer ball, etc) and one small (such as a baseball, softball, tennis ball, etc). Place the two next to each other and light to create patterns of light and shadow. Draw on a page of your sketchbook using your softest pencil (such as a 6B or 8B), paying attention to shape, relative size, and value. Arrange the two differently and draw again on a second page in your sketchbook. Total of two drawings.
For next class 3/21/13- We will continue our study of value in drawing, but now using ink wash. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, small bottle of black waterproof drawing ink, watercolor brushes, and two containers (cups, cans, etc) that will hold water.
