Figure Drawings
Drawing 1-3
Will be doing figure drawings tonight as an introduction to the human form. The next four class periods are worth a participation/effort grade and require your presence in class. Please bring your newsprint as well as your pencils and charcoal to class as they will all be used. E-mail if you have any questions.

Spring Break Message
Hello Class,
Don't forget to contact me with the progress of your drawings. I have offered several students feedback this last week but have yet to hear from some of you. Please e-mail me_blbriscoe@gmail.com with an image of your work.
Don't forget that critique is on Tuesday. Our current project is worth 100 pts.
Thanks,

3/4 - Studio Night
Hello Everyone,
Just a reminder that tonight is a studio night. The ideas that you began investigating last class period will begin to be actualized on your paper. A few things to remember:
Drawing 1:
1) Be creative and don't be scared to make ridiculous decisions.
2) Take ownership of the still-life - when you are finished your drawing should have your voice.
3) Fill your composition - don't waste space unless it is strategic to the imagery.
4) Ask yourself, "have I abstracted this image?" - does this drawing meet the guidelines of "not being a natural occurrence". In other words, your final drawing should not be recognizable as something that could happen in the natural setting.
Drawing 2 & 3:
1) Compositional completeness - because this is a concept driven piece, challenge yourself to take the image as far as it needs to go. Constantly ask yourself "what makes this image finished" and be ready to justify that in critique.
2) Voice - Does the image have your voice? does it say what you want it so say about you or your idea?
3) Consider color - will your image demand the use of color or experimentation with different mediums?
