Two Still-lives with a chair.
Line Drawing.
Set up one still-life on the seat of a the chair, and another still-life on the ground beside or in front of the chair. Your drawing should incorporate these two points of view: looking at subject closer to eye-level and looking down on subject. Pay close attention to the shift in view points, note whether your head moves as well as your eyes to take in the entire scene, analyze scale shifts between two groups of objects, and draw all objects and spaces in relation to others. Employ technique of linear measurement as we have been working in class - begin very lightly, draw lines as needed through objects to place them accurately in space, build up line, no erasing. Draw your drawing space (rectangle) on the page, as elicited by your framing window. Draw the space between the objects.
Evalutated on:
Accuracy - objects and spaces drawn in proportion.
Line weight to indicate spatial relationships.
Negative space incorporated into composition.
As always, more ambitious drawings will be rewarded.
