2/9/09 2D Design

Today's class - Today we started our study of line. We looked at slides showing the use of line through the history of art. After that, we did some exercises in contour line drawing involving shoes. We had a lunch break, then did some exercises involving negative space.

How to make this up- Details about the contour line exercise can be found here. Details about the negative space exercises can be found here. These are portfolio exercises that must be made up by the end of the semester, though to get the most benefit from the exercises, they should be done now rather than later.

Homework- The dot (stipple) drawing begun in class last week is due at our next class meeting on February 23, 2009.

Reminder- School is closed for President's Day on Feb 16th. No class.

For next class 2/23/09- Bring your completed dot drawing and the original photo. These will be critiqued. Also bring your 18"x24" drawing pad, pencil, and eraser. We will do a graded project involving line.
