Today's Class- Today we started our study of line. I showed a few dozen slides of art from prehistoric to the 20th century, talking about the many ways line was used and what functions it had in each work. After that the class did a series of portfolio exercises dealing with aspects of contour line, using shoes as a simple subject.
How to make this up- Everyone on the roster was present today, so everyone is caught up. However, if anyone feels like reliving the experience, the exercises and examples can be found here.
Homework- More shoe drawings. Use your small sketchbook and you will do 10 shoe drawings, one per page in the sketchbook using the pencil of your choice. Draw them at a scale that fills the page. You may use the same shoe as the subject for all 10, or a variety of shoes if you like. Do the following drawings, similar to ones done in class:
8 exterior contour line only
1 cross contour
1 full detail line drawing
For next class 9/19/14- We will continue our study of line, with a focus on gesture and negative space. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencils, and pink eraser. I'll provide the subject material.
