  1. IAT 208 Drawing as Inquiry Week 4 Lab Spring 2012

  2. Research Project Hand-In • DUE Today in lab: This is worth 20% of your grade.

  3. Today • 3 short exercises on different approaches to building form. • 1 long (1 hour) drawing

  4. Loosen up

  5. Warm-up: Cross Contour Hand Study • Time: 15 minutes • Cross contour lines are drawn lines which travel, as the name suggests, across the form. Cross contours may be horizontal or vertical, as on the right side of the example, or both. Often, in more complex forms, cross-contours will be drawn at varying angles. In this rather lumpy example, the grid of cross-contours looks a bit like the gridlines on a globe or a diagram of a Black Hole in space. • You will use your 2B or 2H pencil, depending on what matches your skin tone closely. For example, 2B will make darker tones; 2H, the harder pencil, will make lighter tones.

  6. Warm-up: Value • Time: 15 minutes • Quickly block out a form using only 4 shades; black, dark grey, light grey and white. • Create the white area by creating the negative space around it. • (Source: Hanks, Rapid Viz)

  7. Warm-up: Extreme Value • Time: 15 minutes • Select a new object. Represent it using the most minimal amount of information and only black and white values. http://www.mwpimaging.com/images/grayscale.jpg dailypop.wordpress.com

  8. Extended Drawing Session • Time: 1 Hour • Using combined form-building techniques. • Gauging Proportion for larger forms Drawing for the Absolute Beginner, Mark and Mary Willenbrink, p. 52 Drawing for the Absolute Beginner, Mark and Mary Willenbrink, p. 28

  9. Extended Drawing Session • Time: 1 Hour • Process: • Sketch lightly (cross contour) • Measure • Correct • Linear elements – bold, expressive line. • Plastic elements – define your greyscale (no more then 4 stages from lightest to darkest). • Consider: texture, smudging, negative space. • Do not add details until the end, work from general to specific.
