Wednesday in class we worked on building paper sculptures. This was a group activity worth 20 daily work points. These sculptures were and will continue to be used to practice value drawings in class.

Thursday I was absent from class but Mr. Weinell led you in a worksheet on value. This worksheet was worth 10 pts plus 10 daily work pts (20 total).

On
Friday we got our sculptures back out and pulled the tables together. We spot lighted the sculptures to accentuate the shadows. We drew these sculptures focusing on the value of the still life as well as two new concepts - Background and Foreground. Background and foreground deal with the relationship between the objects in an environment: foreground, those in front, background - those in back.

We will be spending at least four days drawing the still life sculpture that you built. Rubric to come.
