3/9/09 2D Design

Today's Class- Today we started by looking at slides of art from Ancient Greece through the present, discussing how value (light and dark) was used to show form, volume, location, space, and time. We then did two portfolio exercises involving charcoal. We also visited the Student Art Show in the Howe Gallery on the 1st floor.

How to make this up- We did two drawings from a still life set up, one with vine charcoal and one with compressed charcoal. Details as to how to make up these exercises can be found here.

Homework- None, unless you still owe me one of the back projects- dots or line drawing still life.

SPRING BREAK MARCH 15TH TO 21ST NO CLASS NEXT WEEK

For next class 3/23/09- We will do one more charcoal drawing, this time as a graded project. Bring your 18"x24" pad, charcoal of preference (vine or compressed), kneaded eraser, and spray fixative.
