Portrait in Space

Hmwrk #10

Draw your evil twin.

Hmwrk #9

Make a drawing that uses warmth as it's main consideration. Take into account everything we did this week and have fun with it.

Hmwrk #8

Do four more compositional studies based on the conversation we had about the last four.

Project 1

Each student will make a large drawing from a small object. Bring your item to class so that we can discuss it and make sure that it will be a visually interesting object to draw. Also you should consider whether or not it would be interesting in regards to the assignment. Complex Tools such as a wine opener would be a good example of an interesting object. Tools are a good choice.

Each drawing should be 36” x 24”.

• 20% of your drawing should reach full refinement, including shading/ rendering.

• 15% should be the beginning basic search including your searching lines, implied or guiding lines, and gestures. Show your thought process as you begin a drawing.

• The rest of the drawing should be a finished contour drawing that is in full proportion and measurement with line weight and quality highly considered.

• These drawings should have a “see-through” aspect to them. I would like you to imagine that you can see though the tool and draw the object as if it is made of a see through material. This will help you develop structure and proportion. Think industrial or technical drawing.

These percentages may be throughout the drawing, you need to decide what needs to be done to draw in and lead the viewer through the entire picture to create an interesting well balanced composition.

This should be a measured well composed drawings using all the tools discussed in class.

Hmwrk #6

Make an observational drawing that uses expressive mark making.

Hmwrk #5

Do a self portrait/ drawing of friend and then insert a drawing of the skeleton inside. It should be 18 x 24 and drawn with charcoal.

Hmwrk #4

On an 18 x 24 sheet of paper make a drawing of a still life with a cloth or sheet. This should be in charcoal and have a strong light source to create a high range of value and good contrast. Please remember to consider the composition and movement of lights and darks throughout the picture.

Hmwrk #3

 On an 18 x 24 sheet of paper using charcoal (vine) create a balanced composition using black and white shapes. Think about positive/ negative balance.

Hmwrk #2

Do the same as the last assignment, but do it better. Think about composition and creating space using pressure variation in concert with space.

Hmwrk #1

18 x 24 drawing replicating what we did in the last class. Set up a still life with 5 objects focusing on the true, height, width, and proportions of one object in relation to another.
