ADVANCED ART - DRAWING:
Students will have advanced assignments to guide creative challenges.
Advanced drawing encourages growth in techniques in a variety of approaches.
Advanced art students will grow in creative applications.
Some additional work may need to be completed outside of class.

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.

 

 

Drawing: Unit 5
Experiment with using water to produce a wash:
Suggest the principle shapes and masses; then, add the wash. Clean water on a brush produces a nice gradual blend of tone to complete the modeling of objects.

Washes work very well as quick sketch techniques as well as more finished drawing methods.

We are trying a new dry-wet medium this year. Begin with a dry charcoal type drawing pencil to form the basic shapes and outlines and to suggest some tonal areas;
with the addition of water from a brush the dry line turns into a wash effect.

Choose your own image as a subject. Use a full body pose. Standing or seated. Begin with a photo that can be projected with an opaque image projector.
