paint the apple!

10/24/2013

On small white paper do a painting of these apples with tempera paint. Make sure your paint is opaque enough not to curl the paper.

Note - Do NOT squish your brush - don't use it like a pencil or pen - pushing harder WILL NOT make more paint come out - it will just ruin the brush! When using a brush, first load it with paint from the paint source, next lay the paint on the paper with light pressure - as the paint flows out of the brush stop - GET MORE paint.

Cleaning your brush - one, rinse the brush under the faucet, next - put some soap in your hand and gently shampoo the brush - remember it's like your hair - next rinse and re shape the brush.
always lay it flat or put it in a container head up so as not to squish the bristles.

drawing edges and surfaces that turn - dark, medium and light values - new assignment for A&D - also using value and contour lines!

10/21/2013

When drawing surfaces and edges remember to use three main values (tones) dark for behind the edge, light for the edge, and medium for when the surface slants away from the edge.

Art and Design - start your small to huge drawing - in charcoal - you will be using the same principle of dark, medium and Light click here for link to assignment only please work in charcoal! remember the ideas is to create drawings that enlarged common objects so that they filled the entire paper and changed the character of the objects.

I can do a contour drawing of my shoe

10/18/2013

Assignment - using pencil and white paper I can draw a picture of my shoe resting on a piece of practice paper.
I can use a wide variety of line styles, but not smudging, including contour lines, cross hatching, stippling and textured lines with an entire range of values.

I can fill up the entire page so there is more figure/motif than negative/background space.

I can create the illusion of three dimensions by using relative size, overlap and value changes. Things in front will will be larger, darker.

I can indicate the plane the shoe is resting on by drawing a shadow where the lines describe the plane of the table.

I can draw with my hand lifted and un-anchored from the table and using my entire arm to help create lines that seem to curve by changing value as they curve.

I can finish my drawing on time.
