February 19

Drawing:

1. Finish your drawing of your hand from the picture plane to paper. The instructions for review are on page 36 of your drawing workbook.

2. Do one or more of the following drawings using the same steps we used in class:

    

We will share these drawings with each other in class next week. I can't wait to see your great work! 

• drawing your hand holding an object (p. 39)
• drawing a flower, leaf, or other object from nature (p. 43)
• drawing  a peeled orange (or any other fruit or vegetable with  complex parts) (p. 46)

Steps we used in class: 

1) create a format using the card stock frame in your folio 

2) set a ground using your graphite stick and paper towels 

3) draw the cross-hairs on your format 

4) draw the object on the plastic picture plane tool from your workbook 

5) transfer the drawing of the object from the plastic picture plane onto your prepared paper.

Personal Narratives:
Keep working on writing your personal narrative! Your rough draft is due in class next week, February 19.  Please make and bring 16 printed copies of your story to class next week for each of us to take home and read and comment on. We are so excited to read these!

And just as a reminder, please remember to get the book Leonardo daVinci by Diane Stanley and read it. We will have a discussion on it on February 26. Be sure to have it read by then so we can have an engaging discussion!

 

We have updated the schedule for this semester, you can refer to it below, and I will also give you a printed copy of it in class next week. The differences are highlighted in blue below. (Artist trading cards have just been moved back a couple of weeks...)
