Student Show Reminder

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to remind you that the due date for the student show submissions is this Saturday at noon. I suggest that if you have completed work that you would like to show, bringing it to tonight's class would be the most convenient thing to do. Submission forms will be available in class and I can take your work and make sure it gets to the curator. Thanks, Brandon

Tuesday & Thursday

Hello Drawing Students, The next two class periods are studio classes. During this time you will be focused on working and constructing your project. I will be talking individually with each student to discuss the execution of each work. Please be ready with materials necessary for exectuing your Assemblage. Let me know if you have any questions.

Examples of Alternative Materials

Intro to Assemblage Project (D1&D2)

Tonight we will be discussing the nature of drawing and what exists at the core of the discipline. We will be discussing again, what is it that you value most about the act of drawing. What are the attributes of drawing that endure within the other disciplines (ie. painting, sculpture, fibers)? How does the act of drawing change as we introduce non-traditional media?

For our most recent project, we are using these ideas to create a drawing using non-traditional drawing materials. The key to this work will be your ability to create an expressive drawing by exploring the collage and assemblage of your chosen medium.

Tonights Class 4/9

Tonights class, Drawing 1 students will begin their self-portrait. Please remember to print your photo on an 8.5"x11" sheet of paper as a visual guide.

Drawing 2 students will also begin their projects. Please be prepared to share your research and present several ideas to discuss with the group.

Thanks,
B.

This Week: Modeling Session

Hey Everyone,
I want to reiterate how great you did last week during the modeling sessions. I saw huge improvements in the confidence and expressive nature of your line. Tonight we are going to build on the drawing techniques from the previous class. We are going to continue to work on capturing proper proportions and the natural qualities of the human form. Please be prepared to experiment with graphite and charcoal.

On Thursday night we will switch gears and begin discussing portraiture.

Drawing 2 students will have an option in terms of what they do for the next project.

Let me know if you have any questions.
