I am enjoying watching all of you develop different types of patterns in class, but while you are using your creativity, I don't want you to stop developing the drawing-from-observation skills you have developed the past few weeks. Below is the new sketchbook assignment that will strengthen those skills:
Art 1

Assigned: (Tuesday) 9/24/2013)
Due: (Tuesday) 10/1/2013
Sketchbook Assignment: Drawing
Objects from Life
We are currently exploring
the concept of value (the lightness or darkness of a color) in class. Continue
developing your ability to draw from observation by doing 2 full-page drawings
in your sketchbook of an object or an arrangement of objects. Shade them using
a full range of values (that means light, medium, and very dark values).
Things to remember while
drawing:
1.
Draw a ½ inch
border around the edges of your page before beginning
2.
Draw by
looking at an actual 3D object.
a.
DO NOT draw
from a photograph or your imagination.
b.
I will know.
3.
Shade objects
fully with lights, mediums, and darks. I should believe I could shrink myself
and go walk around in your drawing.
4.
Do not neglect
proportions. Use the citing technique to figure out size relationships.
Happy Sketchbooking!
