Review and Preview - Tuesday, Jan. 21

Drawing 1 -
In the last class period we discussed how drawing, just as any art form, has to first and foremost be expressive in order for it to have meaning. If art is about technical depiction than it makes the artist work purely exercise. But if the artist is empowered to express; make their ideas, thoughts and emotions at the forefront of production, than it has great relevance.

We also discussed how technical ability affords artists the means to be expressive. In discussion we concluded that "line" as an element is at the heart of this. We discussed the expressive nature of line as well as the structural nature. We began doing drawings of single object still-lifes with the goal of representing forms (the illusion of three-dimensional objects). Our line drawings were the foundation for future work.

Tonight we will introduce value and discuss how depicting light can make "forms" come alive and provide true depth.
