Wednesday Drawing SkillsWDS • For the first half of the year we will be working in our sketchbooks on Wednesday to perfect your drawing skills. • We focus on your hand to eye coordination. • This will not only improve your drawing skills….but your driving skills too!
Exercises / Techniques we will focus on: • Still life Drawing • Combination Drawings • Contour drawings • Grid Drawings • Racing the clock drawings • Drawing from memory • Perspective • Non-dominant hand drawings • Symmetrical ambidextrous hand drawings
Grading your sketchbook Drawings • At the end of every 2 weeks you will turn in your sketchbook for me to grade. • I will go through the book to be sure you completed each weeks drawing skills. • You will then receive a grade from 100 possible points. * Remember: Its all about your effort
Today…. We need to set up your sketchbooks for daily bellwork AND Complete a reference drawing.
Daily Bellwork • Each week we look at a different artist. • Every day you will examine a different artwork of that artist and write down some thoughts on what you think about the artwork.
Setting up your sketchbook…. • Follow along with me on how this is done. • You will be folding and drawing a grid pattern on 5 of your skethbook pages.
Reference Drawing • Today you will try your hardest to draw an image. • At the end of the second quarter you will draw this image again… • You then get to compare the two and see how much you have improved in your drawing skills.
