DETAILS:
- This assignment is done at the end of the semester in class.
- The sculptures you made during the semester serve as a source of observation and inspiration.
- I have prepared a series of quick drawing challenges for you. I will announce these details in class, the day we do the drawings. The first five drawings will be done as a group.
- The remaining drawings will be completed on your own. If you do not finish all the drawings in class, then finish for homework.
- The content of the drawings you complete outside of the group drawing session is your choice. Repeat an exercise we did as a group or invent your own ideas. Observe the entire sculpture from life or crop in, drawing a particular detail of your sculpture. Perhaps the drawing for the Memento assignment is a portrait of someone connected with the memento. Maybe a drawing for the Paper Stacking assignment is a pattern created by the outline of your sculpture.
- I expect these drawings to demonstrate time and show skillful and conceptual effort.
- All drawings need to be posted on your blog. Post drawings with the appropriate assignment or create a separate post for all the drawings. Your choice - scan or photograph the drawings.
- Due date for drawings announced in class. The actual drawings need to be turned in for evaluation.
- Please make sure your name and the 3D assignment appears on the back of each drawing.
