Snow Day! What's due Tuesday?

Hello all,

Hope you're enjoying your snow day! We're falling behind fast, and at this rate I'm afraid we'll hardly have any time for still life. So I have added an assignment to introduce you to still life over the weekend. Remember those five thematically related objects I asked you to bring to today's class? Well I would like you to arrange them in a composition, on a neutral background, with a single light source if possible, and do three sketches of them. The first two should be closed compositions from two different angles, and should take you at least half an hour each. The third should be a closed composition and should take you at least an hour. All your drawings should be at least 8.5" x 11" (don't come with tiny sketches-- these should be more fleshed out).

So, to recap. For Tuesday's class you should bring:

-five thematically related objects

-two half hour closed composition sketches of these five objects

-one hour long, open composition sketch of the five objects

This will be part of your sketchbook grade.

Any questions, please contact me.
