Week Seven: Form, Proportion, Roundness

Friday was a sCaRy day of drawing! Being the day before Halloween, everyone was in the mood for drawing real-life pumpkins (our focus was to show roundness and contours) and spooky faces. Zach had a mask that Miranda and Matt drew. And all of you took on last week's challenge of drawing the man's profile by Leonardo da Vinci. Everyone's drawings of the old guy are fantastic! You used cross-hatched lines and tones to show the form of his head.

This week's drawing challenge (if you have time, of course): Once again, find an object from the classroom or your backpack. But select this object specifically for its different textures. For example, show the fabric of a jacket or piece of cloth (try shading the areas where it folds), or the roughness of a piece of wood, or the difference between shiny and rough metal. Show textures by using tones, cross-hatching, jagged lines, wavy lines, or broken lines. Have fun!

This Friday will be our last day of the course. :( We'll be drawing from real life objects.
