F block Due Sept 7th drawing of a pair of shoes
Draw a modified contour drawing of a pair of shoes. Choose an interesting pair. Think about the relationship of one shoe to another. Contour line drawing requires that you keep your eye on the object, not on the paper. Imagine that the pencil is touching the shoe instead of the paper. Then slowly move your eye across the contours of the shoes and allow your eye to pull your pencil along with it. Full page
B Block: Draw 300 Contour drawing of bicycle Due: Wed. 9/7
Homework is a contour drawing of your bicycle-- aka continuous line drawing in ink: Some of these are from Laurie Stevens an art educator and her student work
The bike needs to include both wheels or you can do a detail version but it needs to be intricate. It should be drawn from observation, not a photosource, so it shouldn't be perfect!

400 Level: Chiaroscuro light and dark
400 level: The photo above is an excellent example of the kind of lighting needed to make a good drawing for chiaroscuro! Next Wednesday,9/7 you need to have three to five examples of what kind of image you want to draw. You should have your image and three sketches of how you would compose that image.
Sketches will be evaluated as follows:
A: Student has five different examples of composition; has source images ready at the BEGINNING OF CLASS, printed out NOT ON IPHONE. Concept is original and student sketched out 5 thumbnail versions of drawing. ( different angles, views, etc.)
B: STudent has three different examples of composition; has source images ready at the BEGINNING OF CLASS, printed out NOT ON IPHONE. Concept is original and student sketched out 3 thumbnail versions of drawing. ( different angles, views, etc.)
C: Student has one image shows up with it on iphone, has one sketch
if you don’t have strong source material you will receive zero credit! for the day!

B Block: 300 level drawing
Based on the assessments, I can see that we all could use a bit of review on our knowledge of perspective
What is due Monday Aug. 29th
A review of one point perspective concepts with the challenge of drawing a cup ( your personal cup or waterbottle in accurate perspective) ~ thus giving your practice at drawing ellipses.
here is what I want you to do: STEP ONE: This should be on one page
Go to the link below and READ the text, next at the bottom of the text is a good explanation of how to draw an ellipse from a circle... Copy that image ( don't trace it, copy it free hand, you may use a ruler for this part)
STEP 2: Step your cup or bottle on a table so you can see both the bottom and top edge of the cup or water bottle. Do your drawing exactly as you would do a one point perspective drawing... in other words , set up your horizon line, vanishing point, and draw your top ellipse first or bottom which ever is easier. This might take a few trys.
http://howtodraweasy.com/203/single-point-perspective-drawing/
What am I looking for: an observed drawing, not from a photograph.
Fits on the page, isn't too small or too large ( check your proportions)
Shows that you read the article and that you followed instructions of this blog post
and yes, I am looking for accuracy, so it will take a few trys. The drawing doesn't have to have shading, but do erase some of the lines to create an effect drawing and not to confuse yourselves.
