So far we’ve learned:
· To draw what we see, not what we know.
· How to further develop a drawing by adding line quality.
· To shade shapes to create form using a light source and shadows.
· How to use different forms of charcoal
· To make artistic decisions about composition.
· Drawing a self-portrait is challenging.
Where we’re going…
Art Problem:
· Create a self-portrait using charcoal.
· The drawing will be on 4 different pieces of paper that somehow fit together.
· Show multiple (at least 3) views of yourself.
· Consider composition (size, placement, angle).
· Use line quality, shading, shadows, highlights and blending to demonstrate an understanding of technique.
· Draw from observation – what you see!
Things to think on:
· Zoom in on a feature or part of your face or body.
· Show expression, mood, emotion, personality.
· Continue an image from one paper to the next.
· Overlap images. Superimpose!
· Consider a pose and interesting perspectives.
· Background – Light/Dark
· Adding in extra objects (from observation only!)
