START HERE Artists!

Open your Sketchbook! Use a ruler (or not) and demonstrate your understanding of using a VANISHING POINT, HORIZON LINE, and SHAPES to create a sense of SPACE by drawing a CUBE on a horizon line… below or above – however you need to demonstrate what you know. Ok? Ok. Now – GO!

After a 10 minute SELF DRIVEN run through the ideas of perspective… Watch this video and PAUSE as you need. This is a HUGE Skill that you need to learn and become MASTERFUL with.

What are the challenges you have with drawing in perspective?

Black and White – Transparency and Layering… Janet Fish: http://www.utdallas.edu/~melacy/pages/2D_Design/value_DesignBasics/images/Fish_grayscale.jpg

Turn to the second set of pages in your rubric packet and get together with a friend – consider this a mid critique (sort of) and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the work you have in front of you. In the space provided in the RUBRIC write out your thoughts about the good, the bad, and the ugly WITH EXPLANATION. Are you STRONG, GOOD, BASIC, WEAK, or POOR – WHY? Execution, Composition, and Character – all 3. Janet Fish:

Studio Art 360: Continuous Line Contour Drawings

2.1P: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.

Sketchbook Assignment Line: Continuous Line Contour Drawings: We are going to use a single line to create observation based drawings of objects that we make use of and really think we understand. Let’s begin with a BLIND continuous line contour drawing. Volunteers anyone? From there… your hands, shoe, and maybe a face if you are REALLY brave.

AT LEAST 5 drawings – all new pages in your sketchbook – 3 hands – 2 shoes – one face (at the very least). Let’s take 5 minutes for each drawing… Draw for as long as I have given you. If you have 5 minutes, draw for 5 minutes. If you think you are drawing too slow, draw SLOWER. There will be no time left at the end of the hour. BETWEEN EACH DRAWING – Walk around and look at all your classmates drawings.
