9/9/16 Basic Drawing

Today's Class- Today was our first meeting of the semester.  I distributed the syllabus and reviewed it with the class.  Then I had the students fill out a survey about their artistic backgrounds and interests, and we reviewed this as a class to learn more about each other.  Then I used the same form to share my artistic background and experiences with the class.  

Homework-  Nothing today, but that will come next week.

Next Class- Next week will we begin our semester by studying the idea of line.  We will look at the history of line in art and then do a series of portfolio exercises related to contour line.  The subject will be shoes.  I will try to bring some to work with, but you should be prepared to bring your own.  Style is up to you, but closed shoes work better- stay away from sandals, flip-flops, etc.  You should have your 18" x 24" pad of drawing paper, pencils, and a pencil (pink) eraser.
