HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS ARE USUALLY DUE THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED…..

——————————————————————————————–

Day 1:  SNOW DAY – CLASS CANCELED

Day 2: Using 18 x 24″ drawing paper and either charcoal or graphite, draw a baseline self portrait.  This assignment will be graded on perceived effort and by perceived effort, at least an hour to two hours with of work.

An example:

Sketchbook Assignment #1 :  100 schematic or gestural figurative thumbnail sketches (each sketch takes at least 30 – 60 seconds and no more)

Reading Assignment :  ABOUT READING ASSIGNMENTS:  IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU READ THE NEXT WEEK’S CHAPTER PRIOR TO THAT WEEK. Chapter 1 and 1st handout “Learning to See Form” and Week 2’s readings as well.  These readings will be uploaded by Friday, 1/14.

Day 3: No Homework Assigned – Continue to work in your sketchbook and complete Week 1 & 2 Readings

Day 4: Using 18×24″ drawing paper, draw a geometric study of a human figure (preferably nude).  NOTE: Remember that a live drawing opportunity exists on Sundays from 7-10 pm.  Begin the study with breaking down the figure into simplest geometric form – the cube/box.  Use that as the pentimenti study, from that develop a planar analysis of the figure – training yourself to observe the plane breaks that define the underlying structure (under the skin).  Finally wrap an organic contour line, being selective about your use of line weight around the figure.  If you cannot find an opportunity to use a nude model, use a clothed model but remember that this drawing will be from observation.

I don’t have many personal samples but I found a very nice example below…..

by Jeff Markowsky

Sketchbook Assignment #2 :  Draw six (6) schematic, geometric studies of parts of the human form – i.e. lower leg, ankle, & foot combination; shoulder, arm, & hand combination; abdomen, pelvis, & upper leg; upper & lower leg; arm, hand, & fingers; head, neck, & shoulder, etc…

Reading Assignment :  Links for the reading assignments are located on the “Readings” page.

Using 18″x24″ drawing paper (80-100lb) and graphite/pen/conte’ crayon create a gesture drawing from observing a figure.  Utilize the geometric structure to help get your proportions and scale correct (pentimenti) and finally observe the outer edges of the forms of the body by applying a planar line analysis (angle contour).  Be selective of your line and mark-making, determining your use of line weight to emphasize the form and to establish volume.

An example by Christopher Davison.

Sketchbook Assignment #3 : Complete thirty (30) gesture thumbnails of the figure spending no more than 1 minute per drawing.  Put only 2-3 drawings per page of sketchbook, you can use both sides of the page.  Medium: pen, graphite, or conte’ crayon.

Reading Assignment :  No Reading Assignment, study readings Chapter 1 & 2, and all uploaded readings up to this week (“Learning to See Form”, “Basic Forms”, “The Cube”, “The Cylinder”, and “Action & Gesture”.

No Homework assigned for Week 4 – please study for test and we will, have an informal critique for homework assigned Week 3.

No Sketchbook homework assignment Week 4 (books collected for first sketchbook review, books will be returned on 3/8)

Reading Assignment :  Reading Chapter 5 & “Value Basics”

Drawing Homework: Using a sheet of 18″x24″ drawing paper (80-100lb), and charcoal or HB (+) , create a proportional grid (equal grid based on a minimum unit of measure – we’ve been using the model’s head – lightly placed and observable in the finished drawing as the under drawing (pentimenti)).  Once you have created the grid, using gesture place the figure into the picture plan considering the use of the figure & the relationship of figure & ground in creating your composition.  Next step is to use (charcoal is the best or a chuck of soft graphite) to mass gesture the figure, searching for the most economical strokes to underscore the weight of the figure in space.  Finally using charcoal and/or graphite emphasize the outer edges of the figure’s form using line.  Keep in mind the quality of your line, line weight and line techniques, i.e. hatching/contour/implied line, etc.

Sketchbook Assignment 4 :  Using the grid again, create a 5×6 proportionate grid in graphite (lightly.  Using charcoal, mass in the weight of a combination of body forms (as you did with the planar analysis), i.e. the hand & wrist, the ankle & foot, the face & ear, the head & neck, the shoulder and upper pectoral (chest), the shoulder and upper arm; the upper leg & knee…..or details of smaller groups, i.e. hand & fingers.   You can use no less than three, which means that you can do one combination twice…..

OR continued on “Sketchbook” page

Reading Assignment :  Chapter 3 and the handout, “General Proportions of the Human Body”

Homework: Please redo your grid figure drawing and submit both for grade on Tuesday, February 22. Please base your “redo’s” on our critique discussion in class.

Sketchbook Assignment :  Finish the sketchbook assignment from last week.  These sketchbooks are important tools for self-discovery and improvement.

Reading Assignment :  Read Chapter 6, pg 112-139, and “Skeletal Landmarks”

Homework: Using a sheet of 18″x24″ drawing paper (80-100lb), and charcoal or HB (+) , draw a composition that has a whole human form (a model) and a anatomical human form (the skeleton) in similar poses, preferably next to each other.  The objective of this exercise is to emphasize the structure under the form that supports the human body and to pay particular attention to the skeletal landmarks that help us proportionally place elements of the human figure.  Examples below:

Sketchbook Assignment 5:  Draw in your sketchbook at least 6-12 anatomical studies from the skeleton of the human form; i.e, pelvis, lower limps, hands & wrists, etc.

Reading Assignment : Anatomy Study Guide & Anatomical & Skeletal Landmarks Vocabulary

There is no official homework assigned this week other than to finish your work for the midterm portfolio.  Please check the Portfolio page for the information and expectations.

Sketchbook Assignment :  Your second sketchbook review will take place midterm week.  Be sure that you indicate that you’ve spent at least 15 minutes a day or 1.5-2 hours working in your sketchbook developing your observational and technical skills.  Be sure that you catch up on all the assignments.

Reading Assignment :  Study all reading materials and your anatomy notes for the second quiz.  This will be given on March 10th.

Midterm Week.  Portfolios are to be delivered at my studio by 12 noon on Thursday, March 10th.  You can bring your sketchbooks in to class that day.  Your midterm quiz will be given in the beginning of class.

SPRING BREAK

Homework: Using a sheet of 18″x24″ drawing paper (80-100lb), and charcoal or HB (+) , draw two (2) drawings.  First drawing will be a compositional arrangement of studies of hands and feet (1 single hand or foot and 2 studies of both hands or feet) for a total of 3 hand poses and 3 feet poses.  The key to success on this drawing is your accuracy of the subject matter and creativity in composing the study arrangement.  The second drawing will be of the human figure with a compositional emphasis on the hands and feet as part of the human figure.  Success in this is based on how well you understand the importance that the hands and feet have on capturing the individualness and life of the human figure.  Examples below.

Sketchbook Assignment 6 : Draw 6-12 studies of the human hand & foot using techniques and materials learned in class.  Be sure that you also address the anatomical aspects as well – at least one skeletal view for the hand and for the foot.

Reading Assignment :  Read “Tips on Drawing the Hands & Feet”  handout from class.  I will upload other readings this week, please check the “Readings” page.

Homework: Using a sheet of 18″x24″ drawing paper (80-100lb), charcoal or HB (+) graphite , complete a figure drawing emphasizing the face OR draw a portrait of someone you know (from life) as a bust or full figure.  Examples below.

Sketchbook Assignment #6 : Draw at least three (3) – six (6) studies of the details of the human face – ears, nose, mouth, and eyes.  Include as much supporting anatomical references to give clarity and proportion to the aspects of the human face.

Reading Assignment :  Handout and chapters from the textbook.

Homework: Using a sheet of 18″x24″ drawing paper (80-100lb), charcoal or HB (+) graphite , complete a line and value drawing of one of the two statues located at Tillman Hall.  Choose either the Winged Victory (Nike) or Athena.  Identify the edges of the “figure” with contour line or implied line using the quality of mark making and line weight to add emphasis to your drawing.  Pay attention to the composition as you set up the drawing and use value (charcoal or graphite) to create a tonal representation that indicates the three dimensionality of the  statue in its environment.  Example below.

Sketchbook Assignment #7 :  Sketch out three different views using contour or implied line (or both) of the other statue. If you choose Nike for the homework drawing then choose Athena for the sketchbook assignment or visa versa.

Reading Assignment :  See reading assignment pages for uploaded readings and please read the chapters assigned in the textbook.

Final Critique 9/30

Drawing: There are two types of gesture drawings due for final critique on Thu. 9/30.  Please draw each on 18″x24″ drawing paper.

1.  Using contour line and mass gesture either create a multiple object still life or use the one that has been reserved in the classroom for your use.  The medium for this drawing is either charcoal or conte’ crayon. Remember to organize your composition – best ways: use your viewfinder and/or organizational lines.  Remember, as always, to sight the objects in your composition and determine their relationship to each other and to the picture plane, observing positive & negative space.

2.  Using mass and scribble or line gesture and contour create a composition from the landscape around the campus. Use ink washes (brush and ink in water-starting lightly with a larger water to ink ratio and adding ink to darken the wash) to describe the mass gesture and pen & ink OR charcoal to draw the gesture and contour line.

3. An example of each is posted below.

Teaching English to Kids

Crumbs (#1): Cool homework ideas: drawing classes

Instructions:

• Get a drawing tutorial, like the one from Rob Biddulph (#DrawWithRob).
• Attempt to draw your own dinosaur aka Gregosaurus aka Matthew.
• Bring it to class and introduce Matthew to your kids. Let them ask questions.
• Share the video with kids, let them draw at home, colour and get ready to talk about their dinosaurs.
• Set aside enough time for everyone to present their creations.
• Ask questions, answer questions.
• Have fun and marvel at the amount of language that generates.

We loved it because…

• It is a lot of additional exposure and listening skills practice outside of the classroom
• The video was created for kids, not the efl/esl kids but they can still do it.
• It is the first step to production, in speech or in writing.
• We can learn how to draw (we, the teacher)
• It is an additional task but the kids feel really motivated to do it.
• We had fun and we will definitely do it again.
