The Final- Requirements
The final is our last Project. In this final you will demonstrate what you have learned in this class by drawing a still-life in pencil with specific requirements. You will demonstrate your knowledge of value, pencil technique, perspective, composition, comparisons and the 4 basic strategies to draw an object. You need some version of these objects:
- 1 box
- 1 bottle or can that has an ellipse
- 1 onion
- 1 apple
If you do not have an apple or an onion you may substitute for another organic object, i.e. a different piece of fruit/vegetable.
You will be graded on:
- Following directions (1 pt)
- Successfully applying the knowledge and skills you have learned in class (2 pt)
- The techniques you exhibit to render the forms (2 pt)
Assignment
Materials:
- 18 x 24 pad, held horizontally or vertically
- Pencils
- Pencil sharpener
- Gum eraser
- Comparison stick
- Drawing board
Final Project
Create a still life using the following objects:
- 1 box
- 1 ellipse- bottle or can
- 1 onion
- 1 apple
These skills must be evident in your drawing:
- You must use comparisons, vertical, horizontal and proportional.
- You must render each object in 5 values using the proper pencil technique. Including the table top and background.
- The box must be in 1 pt. or 2 pt. perspective depending on your view point.
- The bottle/can must be accurate. Draw them freely at first, then correct the ellipses if necessary. Refer to lessons if you need assistance.
