I'm very proud of each of you for taking on every challenge that I've thrown at you for the past fourteen weeks!! We're now exploring the fundamentals of drawing realistically. And, as always, you jumped right in and started drawing.
Your first attempts at a portrait drawing were FANTASTIC!! You concentrated on drawing guidelines and measuring overall proportions, and then finishing with contour lines. Each of you made a lot of progress in capturing the likeness of president Obama's facial features and expression. Your drawings are posted below.

This week, continue working on your drawing of Corot's Girl with Beret. Remember, we're studying Corot's pencil lines and concentrating on accurate proportions of the girl's face and body. Keep measuring proportions such as the distance between each shoulder, the size of the beret (hat) compared to her face, and the overall distance from the top of the beret to her hand. Make sure her hand is accurately drawn, too. :)

See you Friday! --Rob
