Andrew started his next project today. It is his first concentration piece, he will have to write a proposal in order to have his concentration approved and begin the project. He worked in his sketchbook on his ideas for his concentration and this project. We then went over how to write his proposal for concentration and started to write it out in bullet form first.
Andrew turned in his stippling assignment. We went over perspective and foreshortening of the figure which he’ll have to use in his next assignment. We then went over critique guidelines for his upcoming critique.
Andrew worked on finishing his stippling project. We went over his schedule and what his next project will be. He is going to work in his concentration for the next project, followed by one and two point perspective drawings. He will work on his concentration drawing at home and use the drafting tables to work on his perspective drawings. One of his perspective pieces can count as his Artigras piece, if he incorporates the theme into it.
Andrew continued to work on his stippling assignment. Towards the end of class, we went over the guidelines for his critique next Monday so he can keep them in mind while he finishes his piece.
Andrew worked on his stippling portrait for the duration of class. He focused on finalizing the outlines of his portrait and coming up with an idea for the background. We discussed ‘finished’ pieces and engaging the background. He sketched in his background and started stippling.
Andrew used class time to work on the sketch for his stippling assignment. He worked on drawing the portrait and correcting its proportions. He then finished his stippling exercise in his sketchbook.
Andrew and I started a stippling exercise in his sketchbook to help him with an upcoming project. He practiced making gradients with different size Micron pens. Go over assignment deadlines, material and requirements.
Andrew worked on his Self Portrait for the duration of class. He worked on using 4b and 8b pencils to improve contrast. He also added value to the hair where there were just outlines. He has one more class to complete the project, so we went over what we'll finish for next class and his weekend homework.
