TO NEXT PROJECT: SELF PORTRAIT DRAWING WITH A WASH

1. All completed work must be "compositions" rather than "studies."

A composition recognizes the whole space. Compositions include drawing of more than a single form in the whole space.

In a composition; objects are seen in an environment.

Studies are practice drawings which which are done for skill building or to help develope part of an idea. Studies are not always whole compositions.

2. If more than a single work is assigned; your grade will reflect doing less than the assigned amount. Grades will reflect both quality and completeness:
One grade for the completeness and a grade for the quality of the work.

Scratch board

Drawing Week 3
SCRATCH
BOARD
DRAWING

Make sketches of a subject that can be interpreted
with fine details. You may find subjects from photo sources as long as you make significant alterations.


Final drawing will feature a scratch board technique.
9x12 scratch board. In this technique, a special black surface is scratched with a fine point to reveal a white line.
The more detail you can generate with the scratch technique the more effective the art result.

You need a good idea for your composition and the patience to scratch out a hundreds of descriptive marks to bring out the detail.

For every scratch of the pointed 'scribing tip' black coating is scraped away to reveal a glimpse of the white color under the coating.
