Do Exercise 11: A Drawing of your hand holding an object.

Read the packet. You will need your plastic viewfinder and a marker. * the marker washes off by using rubbing alchohol or other cleaning solvent. This should be an ELEGANT LINE drawing of your hand. Observe the contours and interior qualities of the hand carefully. Remember to vary the thickness of your line, let it disappear in some areas. Add toning using your 4B pencil. Make sure you light your hand so you have shadows. The object you should should be something interesting to draw, nothing too simple with a good amount of detail or a beautiful shape.

Homework for Advanced Art Due Monday Sept. 17th

Ideas for your homeproject. Drawings based on a theme.

I want to see pages of ideas for your homeproject at least ten different possibilities. These can be small thumbnails: three to a page.
Think: composition (arrangement) size of paper ? Will it be abstract or realistic?
What materials: drawing, are you interested in using.

NO MORE TEAR OUTS!!

Okay, no more tear outs from the sketchbook. I will no longer accept a drawing on single piece of paper acceptable for homework for the following reasons: 1. You need to bring your sketchbook to class every class day ( part of your class participation grade) 2. Tear outs are too easy to misplace, be destroyed, get tossed by accident.
3. You are in an upper level art class, so get serious and get a sketchbook.. Nuf said.
