Today's Class- Today we continued our look at the idea of line, exploring such things as gestural line, reductive line, and negative space, with such subjects as bamboo, a wooden chair, and bottles. These were portfolio exercises.
How to make this up- Everyone was present today, so everyone is caught up on today's exercises.
Homework- In your sketchbook, doing one drawing per page. Find four similar sized bottles (all wine bottles, or all soda bottles, or all shampoo bottles, etc) and arrange them in a group on a table top where you can see them at near eye level. Using the pencil of your choice, draw the whole group. Draw the positive shapes of the bottles, but make use of negative space as needed to find the shapes of spaces between the necks of the bottles, and the relative position on the table. Then leave the bottles in place, but move yourself to a different position, and draw it a second time. Then find two other positions to draw the still life from. (Or, set the bottles up on a tray or other flat surface, and rotate it between drawings, so that all the bottles maintain relative positions to each other, but change compared to your position.) Total of four drawings.
For next class 9/30/16- Bring your 18" x 24" pad, pencils and eraser. I'll provide the subject for the day's exercises.
