Breadth 5:


Reading: DCA, Chapter 6, Colston, pp. 22-23, pp. 62-74
Sketchbook: Glue various materials in you SB and draw over them

Objectives:
· Students will create a piece representing texture through the use of contrasting patterns draw from observation - make several figure studies
· work on figure proportion
· gain appreciation for work of Peter Max - 1960s artwork
· explore pattern and color in creating an abstracted figure composition

Media: inks, acrylics, watercolors/pencils, fine-tip sharpies
Vellum/Bristol board

Vocabulary: repeat, combine, disguise, mythologize, pattern,
motif, space, shape, texture, symbols.

Exercises: make up 10 different patterns using, ink, markers,
Watercolors/pencils, & acrylics.


Practice drawing the figure from a manequin and from life. Consider keeping the following three simple concepts in mind as you are learning to draw the body.



  • Look at the whole body and the relationships between the parts instead of focusing on the small details.


  • Begin with a rough sketch of the overall "gesture" or first impression.


  • Observe and draw the areas of shadow and light to create a solid, weighty figure.
