5/1/15 Basic Drawing


Today's Class-  Today was the Final Drawing of the semester.  I set up a still life of typical objects and students had the whole class period to do a full value drawing of it on their 18" x 24" paper, using their choice of charcoal, ink wash, or conte crayon.  As it turned out, the class was evenly divided between those options in what they chose.  Once finished, they could turn in their drawing and leave.




How to make this up-  Yet another day of perfect attendance.  Everyone did it, everyone turned one in.

Homework-  No homework this week.  If you think you may not have done all the previous homework sketches, take this opportunity to go back through this blog (archive function in the right hand column) and compare what's listed to your sketchbook.

2nd half Portfolio-  Everything done in class since the the first half Portfolio that wasn't individually graded.  If you missed no classes (and most of you didn't) you have it all done.  Here's what I'll be looking for, and the date the assignments can be found on this blog:

4/3/15-  Ink Wash  Drape plus one object.
                              Drape plus two objects.

4/17/15- Conte Crayon  Still life with black crayon
                                      Still life with red crayon

4/24/15- Conte Crayon  Mannequin w/ red & black
                        Assorted body parts w/ red & black

total of 6 drawings

For next class 5/8/15-  Our final meeting of the semester.  We will open with a group critique of the drawings from today, after which I will temporarily dismiss the class while I grade the 2nd half Portfolio and the semester sketchbook.  Students will be able to return later during the scheduled period to pick up those items and learn the grades received.  Bring your 2nd half Portfolio and homework sketchbook.
