Drawing Assignment - Week 3

Use 18″x 24″ drawing pad and charcoal.

Draw from life a plant, either in a vase, potted, or wild. Create a composition that is split into BOTH negative and positive spaces.

TIPS:

  • Design your overall composition first, then decide where to place the “negative/positive” divide
  • Hone in on delicate details and bold shapes! Show off the interesting shapes plants make.
  • Feel free to include a pot or vase to help ground the shape.
