Geometric Still-Life Drawing Class
Project Requirements • This is a big project, worth 150 points • This is not something you want to rush through • This is our final still-life; show me everything you’ve learned
What makes this a successful still-life drawing? Range of values, attention to size (proportion), detail, blending, composition
What You’re Being Graded On… Drawing Ability Craftsmanship • Full range of values (think back to your value scales) • Attention to detail • Proportion • Composition • No dark outlines around objects • Clean paper – no smudges, bent edges, etc. • No “ghost lines” from pressing too hard • Effort
Day One • Begin by choosing your composition • Lightly draw the objects onto the paper using a regular pencil – this should take a lot of time! • Sketch in where the shadows are • Double-check that everything is the right size and in the right position • Begin shading using the black and white colored pencils – remember, go slowly and layer
Day Two • Continue putting in values – really pay attention to how light and dark the objects are • Shade in the shadows • Make sure you have a full range of values • Put in any details you notice – you may want to use hatch/cross-hatch, stipple, and scumble • Put your full name in the lower right corner • Capitalize your name, because you’re a proper noun Hand in to the appropriate shelf
