Today's Class- Today we concluded our study of line with a graded line drawing of a complex still life. I set up a collection of objects, some we've seen before and some we hadn't, and asked the class to select a view and draw it. Below is an example from a previous semester.
How to make this up- The whole class was present today and so everyone completed the project. They will be returned graded next week.
Homework- Set up another still life. Place a box on a table and drape with some kind of cloth. Select four dissimilar objects of about the same size and place in the still life- one on top of the draped box and three around it. Draw the still life on a full page in your small sketchbook using pencil line only. Then, leaving the set up in place, move to a new position where you can still see all four objects and draw it again. Total of two pages of drawings.
For next class 10/10/14- We will start our study of value, the use of light and dark to imply form and space in two dimensional art. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, compressed and vine charcoal, kneaded eraser, and spray fixative. Something to aid in blending the charcoal is optional.
