Today's class- Today we looked at slides that made use of value, ranging from Roman fresco to contemporary art. Then the students did a charcoal drawing from a still life set up.
How to make this up- Find a white or light colored sheet, drape it over a box, and arrange at least 4 white or light colored objects on and in front of the box. Shine a direct light on it to create areas of light and shadow. You may draw the basic composition in pencil first, then use the charcoal to do the shading. Try to match the level of dark and light that you see on the objects and the sheet.
