Today we'll start working on our final still life. Tips: 1. Start with bottom of the object closest to you. 2. your outlines should be light, because they shouldn't show when the still life is finished. 3. Remember to compare heights/widths of different objects to create accurate proportion. 4. Look at WHAT you are drawing 2 x as much as you look at your paper. 5. If you're feeling stressed about time, you could use your cell phone to take a picture of the still life from your point of view and work on it outside of class. 6. Don't finish one object at a time. Finish the outline first. Then maybe you would shade in all of the darkest values... Work on the entire still life to make it stronger as an entire piece of art work.
Grading:
1. Presentation: complete erasures, smooth blending, signature, paper is clean and smooth with no smudges or mystery marks.
2. Effort, use of class time and attitude.
3. Use of all 10 values.
4. Cast shadows, midtones, reflection, and high lights are accurately represented.
5. Drawing is proportional and uses the entire 11 x 14 sheet of paper creating a strong composition.
