Project:
Using graphite, make a figure drawing of a friend or family member that includes the following:
- local value changes
- form through chiaroscuro
- suggestion of environment (figure/ground relationship)
Spend 2 - 3 hours on the drawing. It is expected to be much more detailed and refined than the figure drawings you will create during class.
Objectives:
- Improve observational accuracy
- Establish accurate gesture, proportion and tonal value
- See the figure as a unified whole, and not separate parts
- Establish figure/ground relationship
Grading Criteria:
- Realism of gesture
- Realism of proportion
- Quality of line
- Variety of local value
- Sense of form through value
- Composition using figure/ground relationship
- Sense of space
