Yesterday the class made drawings using white pencils on black paper. When using toned paper it is beneficial to take advantage of the papers value. With black paper, the shadows are already present. Therefore, the artist works from dark light. This requires thinking in reverse to working with dark materials on white paper.

| Crystal |
Crystal has created a very stable composition by engaging the top and bottom edges of the paper. The large scale of the objects fills the composition activating the negative areas and establishing rhythmic value patterns.
 |
| Jose |
Jose has very keenly observed the subtle tonal variations within the transparent objects. The values are bold and striking. The centered composition allows him to address the still life in its entirety.

| Laura |
Laura has also employed "cropping" to great effect with her composition. This Cubist inspired drawing is composed of many positive and negative shapes interlocked together. Observe how she uses brighter values in the negative areas and switches to diffused values with the transparent, positive areas.
