COMBINED VIEWPOINTS

Yesterday the class continued working on the combined viewpoints drawings. We will critique these on Monday followed by a discussion on Head Construction before moving on to the Self-portrait Project.

THE LIST CRITIQUE AND COMBINED VIEWPOINT SKETCHES

Yesterday we critiqued the "List" drawings and made six contour sketches of a single object. Each sketch addresses the object from a different angle or distance. We will use these sketches tomorrow.

THE LIST

Laura (work in progress)

Last Wednesday the class continued working on the "List" project. Laura's drawing above is progressing very well. Notice the scale of the objects and the attention and balance of the positive and negative areas. These drawings are due when we return from Spring Break.

THE LIST

Today the class began work on "The List" project. Students are to compose an image using at least 15 of the items from the list compiled on the first day of class. Above is Jeff's initial composition in his sketch book. We will continue working on these drawings Wednesday followed by a critique on the Monday we return from Spring Break.

EYE LEVEL AND BASELINES

The class completed the Eye Level and Baselines project today. On Monday, we will start work on the list project. Check Canvas for a preview of the slide lecture and the instructions. Jesse's drawings below skillfully illustrate the three different eye levels. In addition, the complementary color scheme of red and green enhance the dramatic lighting and extreme views.
