3/6/15 Basic Drawing

Snow Update

For one more day, Ocean County College has decided to stay closed and clean up from yesterday's winter storm, which will require us to make a slight change to our planned semester schedule.  What we would have done today (more charcoal drawing, week 7 on our syllabus) will simply be pushed to next week.  The things planned for next week, the graded Full Value Still Life and the grading of the Midterm Portfolio will now be done the week after we return from spring break, and everything else on the schedule will correspondingly be pushed back a week, with one exception.  Looks like we have to drop the original plans for week 11, a portfolio exercise where you would play around with the monotype process.  It's messy, though most find it fun and interesting, but we have lost a meeting and this one week drawing related project is the easiest thing to lift out.  Therefore you will not need to purchase the black oil paint or monotype printing plate.  

Homework-  what I had assigned on 2/27/15.  If you've missed any this semester, this week is a good opportunity to catch up.

For next class 3/13/15- We will continue with value drawing using charcoal. Bring your 18" x 24" pad, both vine and compressed charcoal, a kneaded eraser, and spray fixative.
