Mr. Briscoe - Winding Down the Semester

Foundations of Drawing:

As our semester comes to a close every student should be turning in missing assignments in order to receive a partial grade. If you have questions about what you are missing, be sure to visit with me in class.

As a reminder of what we've done the last week:

- We finished our "4 portraits" drawing - 65 pts.
- We did an introductory worksheet called "Working with the Grid". This was a drawing of a baseball player that we increase in size by using the guidelines of a grid.
- We did a second worksheet "Working with the Grid 2" that was similar to the first but incorporated value.
- We've started our large scale, in-depth grid drawing using the images that we brought from home. The last day to work on these in class will be Friday the 10th.

Final:
We will be conducting our final on Tuesday, Dec. 15th. We will do quick review on Monday. I will be posting more about our last week of school later this week. Keep your eyes peeled.

Tip:
Remember to study and know the differences between Representational, Abstract and Non-Objective art.
