Week 7 Homework: Due THURSDAY, March 2nd

Week 7: Due THURSDAY, March 2nd (there is no school for students Friday)

Create a negative space drawing of something outside.  The more objects you include the better!  Trees, power lines, fences, gates, etc. usually make great additions!

Week 6 Homework: Due Friday, February 24th

Week 6: Due Friday, February 24th

Let's try this again:

Free Draw Week- create a drawing of any OBJECT(s).  You still must LOOK at an object to draw from real life (no cell phones and it must be a 3d Object that you can set in front of you while drawing).  You may choose to draw in black and white or in color but MUST add shading (drawings that are not FULLY shaded with a full range of value will NOT receive full credit).  The more detail you include, the more points you will receive. 

Value Project #2: Scratch Art

Observational Drawing: Scratch Art

1.     Choose a subject for your Scratch Art drawing.

·        Must have a wide range of value

·        Do NOT choose a simple image, the more details, the better the project

·        Subjects with texture work well for this project

2.     Copy and paste picture into a PowerPoint document

·        If it won’t copy and paste, save the image to the desktop and insert it that way

3.     Double click image and use the top menu bar to adjust the color to greyscale

4.     Ask yourself:

·        Does my image have a FULL range of value?

·        Does my image have enough detail?

Critique Questions from 2/15

If you were absent on Wednesday, 2/15 please answer the following questions on the back of your project:

Homework 5: Due Friday, February 17th

Week 5: Due Friday, February 17th

Free Draw Week- create a drawing of any OBJECT(s) you would like.  You still must LOOK at an object to draw from real life.  You may choose to draw in black and white or in color but MUST add shading.  The more detail you include, the more points you will receive.  

2.6.17: Value Viewpoints Project

To begin our first value project, students will choose an object and draw it from 12 different angles in their sketchpads.  These sketches do not need to be shaded or very detailed.  Students will choose the best 9 sketches to use for their final project.

Next, students will create a 9"x 9" box in their sketchpads.  Students will then break that box into 9 even square (3"x 3").  

Students will draw one object from 9 different angles and viewpoints.  Be creative with the viewpoints you use for your project.  The viewer should understand what the object would look like from all sides.  You also may play around with how closely you draw the object.

Homework 4: Due Friday, February 10th

Week 4: Due Friday, February 10th

Draw the photograph below in black and white.  Use any of the value techniques learned this week and include as much value and detail as possible.  Use at least 2 of the techniques learned last week.  Your drawing should include a full range of value, think of what the image would look like if you were to print it in black and white.  What shade of greys represent the different values of orange fur?

Always follow the rubric below for homework assignments:

1. Composition: Does the subject fill up at least 3/4 of the page? 1      0
2. Line & Value: Is the object drawn accurately; does it display a full range of value? 1      0
3. Details: Is the object detailed? Are the details sharp and clear?  1      0
4. Observation: Was the object drawn from real life observation?  1      0
5. Craftsmanship: Paper is not smudged, ripped, or wrinkled.  Proof of care.  1      0

2/3/17: Value In-Class Assignment

After completing 4 value scales using different shading techniques, use those techniques to draw 3D eggs. One egg should use smooth shading, one should use stippling, and the last can incorporate a combination of hatching and cross hatching. 

*Make sure to include the shadows beneath the eggs to give the illusion of them sitting on a surface.

In-Class Assignment 3

Introduction to Value- 2/2

Unit 2: ValueValue is the lightness and darkness of a color.  For this unit we will focus on Achromatic value (value without color=black and white)In-Class Assignment: Create each of the 4 value scales in your sketchbook

1/30-2/3

Cross Contour Hand Project

Cross contour lines show the dimension of an object.  While drawing cross contour lines, imagine you are showing how the line would travel across the surface of the object you are drawing.  Rounded objects would be depicted using curved lines, but flat objects would be shown with straight lines. 

The Week of January 30th- February 3rd focuses on finishing the line unit.
