Sketchbook Assignment: Drawing Objects from Life

NEW Sketchbook Assignment!

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:

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!
