Mr. Klausing's Classes

Week of October 18-22

Drawing I
Drawing I students have their still-life drawing due on Monday, Oct. 18th. During the week of October 10-14, Drawing I students began working on perspective drawing in their sketchbooks. Students drew 9 forms in 1-point perspective and 9 forms in 2-point perspective. We also identified different parts of 1-point perspective in photocopies of LSW building areas. On October 29th, students will be turning in sketchbooks with all activities done over the past three weeks.

On Thursday, October 14th, students went outside to sketch and photograph different compositions from around the building. These sketches and photos will be developed into a project drawing over the next several weeks.

If you have any unfinished sketchbook work, you need to have those completed and turned in by October 29th.

Painting II
Students completed and turned in their Expressionist self-portraits on Thursday, October 14th. After this project, students completed an intensity/value scale using two complementary colors in acrylic paint. This scale should be turned in during the week of October 18th. Beginning on October 18th, students will be working on a representational portrait that communicates a mood or emotion. Students will use dramatic lighting, body position, facial expression, dramatic lighting, and strong value contrast to create the mood and emotion.

Students completed and turned in their first Independent Study theme-based project on Monday, October 11th. Students will be working on their Investigation Workbooks one more day on Monday, October 18th, then be involved in the development of their next theme-based project.
