  1. Day 14 Bell stARTELEMENTS of DESIGN Write in your sketch book: Thumbnail sketches are shorthand notes for artists. Today’s Goals: 1. As a class, share and analyze your homework: the contour drawings of your feet. 2. Use thumbnail sketches to aide in the composition of the still life drawing. 3. Turn-in your sketch book at the end of class today for evaluation.

  2. Thumbnail Sketches :Thumbnail sketches are drawing quick, abbreviated drawings. Usually, they are done very rapidly and with no corrections - you can use any medium, though pen or pencil is the most common. Thumbnails sketches are usually very small, often only an inch or two high.

  3. Today’s Drawing Assignment: • In your sketch book make three thumbnail sketches of the still life • Choose one of the sketches as your composition • You will use your view finder to help increase the scale of the composition to the size of the picture plane on your sketch book paper. 4. Use your pencil to develop your final image

  4. Day 15 Bell stARTELEMENTS of DESIGN Write in your sketch book: Identify three reasons to draw/create a picture plane/border when you begin a new drawing. Discuss among your tablemates and write the three reasons in your Sketch Book.

Do consider proportion of the objects in the three thumbnail sketches you draw from the “still life” on the wall. 2. Draw the thumbnail sketches in your sketch book with a pencil.

  6. Day 16 Bell stART ELEMENTS of DESIGN Write in your sketch book: Positive space refers to objects themselves. On the other hand, Negative space, refers to the shapes of spaces between and around objects. This is also referred to as “figure/ground”

  10. Using Negative Space : Drawing becomes easy when you master it. In this exercise you will be drawing the space around the object, negative space, rather than the object itself. Do not forget to focus on looking at what you are drawing as much as the drawing itself.
