Unit 1- Drawing What You See

Current Project: Value Study Still Life

Objectives: Create a finished still life drawing in pencil with the following:

• A composition with cropped objects that creates visual movement
• Creates perspective between objects by using sight lines and measurement
• Uses values (0-9) to create form
• Uses shadow to create the outline of the forms instead of hard outlines

• Monday: HOLIDAY!
• Tuesday: Begin value sphere and value cylinder.
• Wednesday: Contour Washes Project is due! Complete value sphere and cylinder. Begin thumbnails of still life.
• Thursday: Begin drawing the shapes of the still life and sketching in the values.
• Friday: VVJ - Activating Rhythm (last day to work on this page in class.)

VVJ assignment: "Activate" the background of a two-page bleed through gray tempera paint and masked areas. Glue down a portion of a famous print. Use elements of the famous print sample and create your own design. Remember to create a sense of rhythm through repeating lines and values. Write your definition of rhythm and reflect on how to create it. Due Tuesday, September 15.
