Drawing and Painting Daily Plans Sept 15-19, 2014 Ms. Livoti
Mon. 9-15-14 • Aim: How can you improve composition? • Do Now: Explain which image is more engaging to you and why. • Homework: Using the full space of your sketchbook paper, create a detailed drawing inspired by the work/style of Lorraine Shemesh, using pencil. Due on Friday 9-19.
Sketchbook Inspiration • Look at the drawings of Lorraine Shemeshunder “Objects” • Choose one object to repeat and draw in a pile using a range of values through your graphite pencils. • View the objects from tops, sides and bottoms and combine them into one image. Fully shade your objects, don’t use outlines! Due Friday!

FOCUS/EMPHASIS • Always know what you want the viewer to focus on/appreciate/take away from your drawing BEFORE YOU START. • Place that object in an interesting eye catching spot on your paper using the rule of thirds. • Let everything else your drawing complement your focal point. • RULE OF THIRDS: Divide your surface into thirds horizontally and vertically- place the focus of your painting one third across or one third up or down on the picture plane, or where the lines intersect.

Think about space! • Overlapping creates interest. When objects just touch each other it distracts the viewer. Either keep things purposely apart, or overlapped. • Placement on your paper- have something come off the page completely...have another thing come close to the edge of the paper but not touch the edge, and have something far away from the edge. • Background, middle-ground and foreground- ALWAYS! • Perspective! Are you going to draw from above, below, or a side? Think about your angles! Lead our eye into your image. Use line! • EDIT! Simplify- sometimes too many things gets confusing to the view. • Placement: RULE OF THIRDS!
Variety and Interest • Incorporate at least THREE things.... Three objects...three different textures...2 things that are the same and one thing that is different... color. Scheme...etc. Are these using effective composition techniques?

Friday 9-19 • Aim: How can you begin to render the light and shadows of your still life objects? • Do Now: Create a small value scale in your sketchbook using the graphite pencils in your set. • Homework: Due today!
Pencil techniques to consider: • Use a soft pencil and create a patch of layered graphite. • Pick up graphite with a tissue and smudge onto your paper to lightly fill an area with a value. • Use your eraser to erase away highlights. • Use a soft pencil to add back in shadows. • Use subtractive techniques to erase highlights out from the surface, instead of trying to leave white space. Kneaded erasers stamp out soft highlights. • Use an ebony pencil for very dramatic dark areas.
