Where are you hoping to run away to with your work?

Drawing: DRAW some NESTS!

 

2.1Ac: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form.

What is your sense of OBSERVATION regarding the Bird’s nests? What is a quality of the nest that you could see as becoming an aspect of your drawing that would be worth your while to focus on during the next week or so? 3 – 5 thumbnails today – very focused – Look at your neighbors artwork as you move along.

WHAT TO DO? Pencil and observation. Drawing techniques and mark making. We are going to look specifically at LINE and VALUE / CONTRAST in these drawings. Whites / Blacks / Greys are the focus. Use of CHARCOAL will be coming up – mark making and removal of marks with erasers. Explore the use of the variety of Pencils that we have and how they can be used. Explore the different marks and erasing that we can do with the materials. Look at the different papers that are available. Really look at the idea of THE ELEMENTS and compositions that can be used.
