Today's Class- Tonight we opened with a quick critique of the stipple drawings, which were graded and returned. Most of the class was spent working on what is our second graded project of the semester, a line drawing of a potted plant and its holder.
How to make this up- You will need a large potted leafy plant, either living or artificial. The plant should be on some kind of stand, or if you lack one, put it on desk or kitchen chair. Draw it using pencil line only at 100% scale using a full sheet of your 18" x 24" paper. Include the plant, its pot, and whatever of its stand will fit on the page. Above is a student example from a previous semester. Further details about the project, as well as additional student examples, can be found here.
This is a graded project that must be turned in as soon as possible to receive partial credit.
Homework- Nothing new this week, though anyone who owes the plant drawing or stipple drawing should get them done for next week.
For next class 10/3/13- We will do a value drawing portfolio exercise from a still life set up as the conclusion to the drawing part of the semester. You may use your choice of charcoal or black conte crayon. Bring that, your 18" x 24" pad, appropriate eraser for your material, blending tools if desired, and spray fixative.
