arty velarde

All of these images are inspirational drawings pulled from the Urban Sketchers blog. Think of these inspirational drawings while you are drawing your own interior spaces over Fall Break. Notice how each of these drawings above are all different styles.

We also forgot to mention today that we highly recommend that you research scale figures. There are so many different ways that you can draw scale figures and will be important as you develop your own style. Scale figures may make or break your work.

We hope that you all have a nice (and relaxing) Fall Break!

and remember...have fun with your drawings and make sure that you post all FIVE sketches onto your blog by Thursday, October 15 at the beginning of class.

photographic proof of design words

Here are all the words that we talked about yesterday that you should start paying attention to while talking about your projects. It is important that we are all aware of and understand these words and their meanings.

a little bit of psychedelic love

Look how beautiful your patterns look all together. You should be proud of yourself!

Blogs...

Hey all... I spent some time this afternoon looking at your blogs every single one and have posted a comment on most of them. As a whole I would have to say that they need more work you need to be showing your process and sketches we don't "just" want to see your final object its good to see how you got there. I saw some good drawings and images so good job with that. Keep posting and updating don't get behind we will be looking at these for your mid- semester crit.

Ps: I was thinking about starting a " JUST " jar and you have to throw in a penny or something every time you say that when your talking about your project or presenting just a thought to get you thinking about how often you use that word...

don't forget your sticks and cell phones

This is a reminder letting you all know that session 1 of the sticks and cell phones is due next class...Thursday, Spetember 24 by 9 am.

Along with this assignment, your worksheet that was handed out during class is due as well.

sketchbook assignment

For your next sketchbook assignment you are to::

First, choose a bundle of leaves from a tree.
Second, draw these bundle of leaves in the following 4 ways::
1. negative space
2. blind contour
3. contour
4. shadows

So, this means you should have 4 different drawings of your leaves in your sketchbook--one drawing of the negative space, one drawing of the blind contour, and so on..

When is this due?
On your blog on Tuesday, September 29 by 9am sharp.

helpful orthographic tutorials

Take a look at this website, it may help you understand orthographic views a little better!

additions to blog

I have added another list on the side of the blog.  This list is called sketchbook assignments and I will post what your weekly assignment is under this list.  This will be helpful to you when we take up sketchbooks at mid-term as well as at the end of the semester.  This will tell you what exactly we will be looking for.

Also, don't forget to post your contour drawing of the Foust building on your blog by 9am Monday, September 14th.

In addition to Tuesday's class, don't forget to bring your vegetable or fruit with you!  This is going to be a fun project!

blind contours are your friends

Since we have been working on blind contours, we thought it would be necessary to post some of our personal blind contours. We really encourage everyone to get out and draw some blind contours...believe us, they're fun to do!

weekly sketchbook

Your sketchbook assignment for this week is to choose 5 objects to draw. First, draw these objects as you normally would. Then, create blind contours of the same five objects. Due to your scanning workshop being postponed, you will need to have these drawings in your sketchbook by class time on Tuesday.

note:: when you have had your scanning workshop, you are expected to have your weekly sketchbook assignments posted to your blog every Monday by 9am.
