Edible Artwork

Select a food that will make an interesting drawing. Consider a fruit, candy or snack. Make 3 or more drawings of the food you select on the same page showing the food being eaten. The first drawing should be food before you eat it. The second and the third drawing should show the food after you have partially eaten it. Show the food at interesting angles. Fill the page with an interesting composition. Add shading & shadows to give your food realistic form.


* For a challenge: show more than 3 stages, draw yourself eating the food, or consider setting up a light source for interesting shadows.


You will be graded on:

- Composition: Fill the page (no tiny drawings!) & interesting angles

-Accurate observation (draw what you see) & scale

-Good craftsmanship (keep it neat & invest some time)

- Adding values & shadows (shading)

Period 1,2,4B,6 are due on Thursday, 11/19
Period 4A is due on Friday, 11/20

Homework: Super Size Me

Super job on your work!

Classwork: Self-portrait

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!)
