Drawing 1: still life (graphite) critique - Monday Feb. 17th

Drawing 1 students this is a reminder about the goals of your Still Life project.

- Create a representational drawing using Graphite to compose and build up value.
- Record detail and observations that would not otherwise arise if not asked to stare at a group of objects for 6-9 hours.
- Gain insight into the process behind creating a richly layered drawing.
- Begin to understand how Value shifts, Edges, Sharpness, and Contrast create the illusion of space.
- Make shifts in technique to represent a wide range of textures.
- Record a full range of Values ( Black blacks, white of the paper, middle tones)

Here are the examples from last semester, email me with questions *(virtual advice can be given as I am out of town, send pics of your still life)
