My first unit is over! It's been an experience, that's for sure. I had a great time, and I think my skills have improved a lot since I started the class! So, without further ado, here is the summary of my drawing unit, complete with my actual drawings and questions! My pencil drawing: Overall, I'm proud of this! We drew objects that were in the middle of the room, and while I'm not the best at value, this is so much better than anything I would have drawn without this class. (My paper got wrinkled because someone set a book on it) (;.;) The (wretched) pen drawing: This is definitely not my best piece, but it's also my first pen drawing. Definitely have lots of improvements to make. Finally, my charcoal drawing: I really like my charcoal drawing! It was a lot of fun to draw and the charcoal, which I had never used beforehand, was surprisingly easy to use! Alright, onto the questions! What warm up was the most helpful during this unit and why? This (slightly misshapen) sphere was probably the most helpful warm up that we did. Value is so important in art, and knowing where the shadow is cast, where light is reflected, and the like is super helpful to an artist. I probably couldn't have added value in my pencil drawing without this warm up. Define composition and value. Composition: the placement or organization of a piece that affects how the viewer's eyes will travel throughout said piece. Value: an element of design that defines the lights and the darks in an artwork. Pros and Cons of Each Medium
