Since last Monday, when we were working on shading the sphere, we have done the following:
1. Plant drawings: a) seeing the negative space b) one continuous line drawing
2. upside down drawing
These exercises are based on Betty Edwards' book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
Today we worked on 4 thumbnail sketches of the still life on your tables. It's easiest if you just fold your paper in fourths and then fill each quarter of your paper with a thumbnail sketch. (A thumbnail is a simple drawing without details that shows where things will be) It is important to do 4 (or more!) sketches so that you don't automatically always use your first idea in your art work. Each sketch should take up the entire space. Use a "view finder" provided in class to get a new point of view.
