Today's Class- Today we began our study of drawing with the line. I showed a few dozen examples of historical artworks that featured line, and discussed how line was used in each. Then the class did a series of portfolio exercises involving contour lines, lines that surround a space and separate positive space from negative space. Exercises involved exterior contour lines, cross contour lines, blind contour lines, and then one last drawing involving full detail. Everyone was present today, so everyone is caught up.
Homework- In your small sketchbook, you will do 10 pages of sketches, each page featuring a shoe drawing. Use the pencil of your choice, drawing with lines only. Do 8 featuring exterior contour only (the silhouette ones we did today), 1 using cross contour lines, and one with full detail like the last one from today. You may use the same shoe for each, or a variety of shoes for the subjects.
For next class 9/23/16- Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencils and eraser. I'll provide the subjects for our continued study of line.
