9/11/15 Basic Drawing

Today's Class-  Today was the first meeting of our Basic Drawing class.  We reviewed the syllabus, and then I had students fill out a brief survey of their artistic interests and experiences.  We reviewed this as a group activity, including me using the same form to provide my background and interests.  

How to make this up-  Those who missed today's class can get the syllabus from me next week, or download it from the Ocean Connect class page, and I can have them fill out the survey next week in class.

Homework-  No homework this week, but you will have it from here on out.

For next class 9/18/15- We will start out by studying the most basic part of drawing, the line.  I will show examples of how artists have used line throughout history, then the class will do a series of exercises using various types of contour line.  Bring your 18" x 24" pad of drawing paper, pencils, and eraser.  Shoes will be our subject.  I will try to bring some from home, but I don't have enough if everyone shows up, so you will be responsible for having one of your own.  Any type is fine, but I would suggest a closed shoe- sandals and flip flops don't provide enough to draw.  You can bring one with you, or take it off your foot.
