Art II- week of October 7th

Art II students continued the development of their Value Object Composition.

Students are carefully observing each of the 3 viewpoints of their object under a strong light-source, in order to develop a full range of value. 

Value development is essential to creating the form, texture and surface quality of the object. It additionally plays an important role is creating contrast and emphasis, important elements involved in creating a strong focal point.

Art I- week of October 7th

ART I students have continued to develop skills and techniques related to observational drawing.

Viewfinders were used to find and sketch 5 different interesting areas of the object. The most effective composition was selected as the basis of the final Value Close-Up. 

A complete range of value must be observed and developed in order to create the illusion of the three-dimensional form of the object. Desk lamps were set up at each table in order to provide students with a strong light source, making the effect of light on each object more dynamic and obvious. Students were provided with feedback throughout the entire development of their work to ensure understanding and application of learning.

Art I- week of October 1st

ART I students have continued to develop skills and techniques related to observational drawing.

To draw realistically, one must be able to observe critically.

After creating 3 viewpoint sketches of their entire object, the most interesting viewpoint was selected as the basis of the final Contour line drawing.
