Week 14 is this Thursday 12/7!

( However, as we were at the museum this past week I am granting an extension to both, see below!聽)

 

Final Sketchbook聽 (20% of final grade)

Students may drop of Sketchbooks at the end of this week’s class for review.*

* Should students wish additional time they may choose an Openlab sketchbook submission.聽 If this is done your 4+ sketchbook pages per week must be uploaded to openlab, with the correct category tagged.聽 聽If pages are dark , blurry, or difficult to find as they were tagged incorrectly, this will negatively impact your grade.

 

Portfolio Review聽(25% of final grade)

Students Select 5-6 best Drawings and 1 Early Semester drawing for comparison.

Students are required to submit a portfolio of their classwork, homework, and聽 with dates and assignment noted on the back of drawings.

Portfolios should not consist of sketchbook drawings.聽 Students are welcome to draw new realistic drawing, portfolio pieces outside of class to supplement their portfolios in addition to classwork and homework drawings.

Portfolios will be collected on the last day of class.

Portfolios will available for return during office hours Spring 18.

 

Final Project ( 20% of final grade)

Remember your final project is a drawing of a location of your choice, from photo reference. The subject matter is entirely up to you, but you must create a聽sense of realism and show depth, using聽as all of the skills we learned in class such as: perspective, a full range of value, and accurate proportion.聽聽It should be drawn at your highest level of finish.

Hello class-

We will enter museum together and from that point can split into groups based on interest.

Looking at the museum map- choose 3 different galleries to visit in your 3 hour trip. Take the time in each gallery to view the work, and read the information written about the work. Then shoot reference photos to prepare yourself for drawing your final project at home.

Remember your final project is a drawing of a location of your choice using perspective, a full range of value, as well as all of the skills we learned in class. This drawing must be on the strathmore drawing paper and should have a nice clean border. 聽It should be drawn at your highest level of finish.

Take time in each gallery to plan your composition. Take photos of all the details you plan to draw.

Finally post a photo of yourself in location you will be drawing along with a quick sketch ( approximately 4″x5″) of your composition, and write a short blog post explaining why you chose that location, to OPENLAB.

This is due for review by the morning 12/ 7, 9 am latest.

Be sure to bring your reference photos and work in progress to class on 12/7.

The Met is located between 79th and 83rd streets on 5th Avenue in Manhattan. 聽Take the 4,5,or 6 trains to 72nd street and its a 10-15 minute walk from the station.
