#1: Contour line interior/exterior!
|
In preparation for our Contour Line Drawing project, use line to render an interior or exterior space. Focus on composition and detail.
|
#2: Observational leaf drawing
This sketchbook exercise is a warm-up to thinking about sculpture for our next unit project.
Draw three DIFFERENT angles (views) of a fairly complex 3D object. Examples of fairly complex 3D objects are chairs, lamps, soap dispensers, eye glasses, shoes etc. Different angles or views means that the images are not similar to draw (example: two profile views of a chair would be the same image). Render shadows. |
