Foundations Drawing - Mr. Briscoe 10/5-10/9

Monday and Tuesday of this week we continued the Value Drawings of the sculptures that we built in our group (see last weeks post). These drawings focused on quick drawings with detailed shading. Spot lights were used to accentuate the shadows cast by the shapes. These drawings were due at the end of class on Tuesday.

The Rubric is as follows:
1. Student used basic knowledge of line, overlapping, background, foreground and value. - 15 pts.
2. Student used high degree of detail. - 15 pts.
3. Effort - Student took time to develop idea and complete the project. - 20 pts.
4. Craftsmanship - Neat, clean and complete. - 20 pts.

Wednesday we busted out the charcoal and man it was messy. We continued drawing under the spotlight but this time we drew large pieces of oddly shaped styrofoam. These were a big departure from the detailed paper sculptures. It allowed us to focus more closely on the value itself an important part of the drawing. These drawings were due at the end of class. 10 pts daily work grade.

Thursday we went back to using our trusty pencil. In our groups we continued drawing still lifes. This time a grouping of small styrofoam cups. These were timed drawings. We rotated around our tables to get different value perspectives. These drawings were due at the end of our class time. 10pts - daily work grade.

Friday in our small groups we build our own sculptures out of paper and styrofoam. We spent the whole our focusing on details of the sculpture and shading according to the light (spot light). This project was worth a total of 30 points.

If you missed daily work this week come see me about how to make up the points. If you have any questions, e-mail me at brandon.briscoe@leesummit.k12.mo.us
