Homework Drawing Task
Week 1 Tuesday 10th September
To complement the work we are doing in class you should make a sustained full page pencil tonal drawing working from photos taken of the still life arrangement. You should aim to spend 4-5 hours on this drawing and complete it by Thursday 19th September (it will be assessed as part of your project).
Select a good photographic image that is relatively complex (probably best to get something from a different viewpoint than your chalk and charcoal drawing).
Take a strong photograph and make sure you have contrasting lights and darks within this. Print this out and work from this to produce a highly sustained monochrome pencil drawing.
Set your composition out carefully with a B/HB pencil in line then add a range of tones using softer pencils (2B - 6B), make sure your darkest tones use the full depth of tone you can achieve (press hard).
This should be a sustained piece that shows off your drawing ability to the full, you might use a rubber to help you pick out the highlights.

If you have not yet completed the Anna Held Audette work then please do so in the next few days. Please show Annie or I at the latest by Thursday 16th September, this work can be stuck into your sketchbook now.
