1) PENCILS EXPLAINED: While you were away, we examined the properties of a drawing pencil, and discussed the differences between the various pencils (2H vs. 2B etc). Click here for an explanation. 2) VALUE: Next we used our drawing pencils to create a full range of value. We started by creating a 5 square Value scale in our sketchbook. Using a ruler and a 2B pencil, please create a 5 square Value scale in your own sketchbook similar to the one below 3) Next, we experimented with different types of shading, such as hatching, cross-hatching, or stipling. Please create a second value scale like the one above, but instead using a new type of shading. 4) Now it is time to use Value to achieve form. We are now trying to our knowledge of lights and darks to make object that we draw, appear 3 Dimensional. In your sketchbook, draw a Cone, Sphere, Box, and Cyllinder. Use your knowledge of Value make the four objects appear 3d. If you are confused, there is a worksheet in the 'Art 8 Extra Handouts folder' in the classroom, that will walk you through the stages of shading. As bonus exercise, try the four shapes again using another type of shading. 6) In our Final lesson of the week, we discussed Focal points. We also discussed how artists use view finders.
As this final assignment might be a little confusing if you weren't in class, please see me for a better explanation.
I hope you had a great time on Explore. We're excited to have you back!
