10/3/16 2D Design

Today's Class- We opened with a quick critique of the stipple drawings, which were graded during class and returned.  Then we moved on to the second graded project of the semester, a pencil line still life of a complex composition.  Students had the rest of the class period to work on it, and I collected the results.  Those will be returned next week.


How to make this up-  You will need to assemble a group of items and set up a still life.  Examples from a previous semester and specific requirements can be found here.

This is a graded project and must be made up as quickly as possible.


Homework- Nothing new, but if you owe me either the stipple drawing or today's still life, get it done soon.  The longer it takes to get them in, the fewer points they will be worth.


For next class 10/10/16- Our study of 2D continues with value, using light and dark in a composition for various purposes.  We touched on this with the dot drawings, but now we will move to a more traditional medium- charcoal.  Bring your 18" x 24" pad, both vine and compressed charcoal, kneaded eraser, and spray fixative.  We will be doing portfolio exercises, and I will return the student work I have from today.
