3/27/15 Basic Drawing




Today's Class- Two important things today.  First, I graded the first half of the semester portfolio, all of the pencil and charcoal work that had not been individually graded.  Those were returned to the students during class.  Second, the class did the second individually graded drawing of the semester, the final charcoal drawing, which could use vine and/or compressed charcoal.  Those were collected at the end of class and will be returned graded next week.

How to make this up-  Everyone was there and everyone turned one in.  Nothing to be made up.  

Homework- Find two flowers, either living or artificial.  Draw them on a page in your sketchbook using the pencil of your choice.  Match the shapes and values.  Include any leaves or stems that are within view.  Rearrange the set up or take a different viewpoint and draw them again, a total of two pages.

For next class 4/3/15- You can put away the charcoal for now, because we are moving on to our next medium, drawing ink.  We'll be using it to create washes- ink diluted with water to create a wide range of value.  Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencil and eraser, small bottle of black waterproof ink (or india ink), brushes suitable for watercolor, and a couple of cups or cans to serve as water containers.
