During the second week we explored more techniques and concepts. I reviewed Value and students explored shading, hatching, and cross-hatching.
Here is a video I showed on the Rule of Thirds: https://vimeo.com/14315821. Very helpful for anyone trying to make a composition (including cell phone photos.)
I also introduced them to two artists to inspire them. I showed them select images of each artist's work. Here are the artists and their website:
Chloe Vallance (Australia): http://chloevallance.com/
Ralph Steadman (UK): http://ralphsteadman.com/
The final week of Drawing & Sketching will be focused on a self-guided drawing project. I am encouraging students to create any project they want, so long as it uses an element of drawing. I am excited to see what they took away from my lessons during the last two weeks.
