Today's Class- Today we started our study of line. We began by looking at slides from the history of art, seeing how artists have used line for various purposes. Then the class did a series of portfolio exercises related to contour lines and negative space.
How to make this up- The class did the following exercises. These should all be done in your 18"x 24" pad using the pencil of your choice. You may put multiple shoes on a page, as in the examples shown here.
Contour Line
The morning was spent drawing from shoes as a way of exploring different aspects of contour lines. The full details of the assignment and student examples can be found here.
