It is beautiful here- and melting fast!
So, the new Creative Everyday theme for February is Passion.
Earlier this week in my drawing class a student commented on the passion I have for my work. Today is officially a snow day- and I have been up creating my students homework assignments for the next week and some extra work/instruction for a few students so they could better grasp some of the concepts covered in class this week. Where am I headed with this? I figured I would post my extra work/instruction for the CED challenge today! Hope that works!!
The following drills are to help the students with the measuring/ sighting angles of objects in a still life and the relationship between objects in a still life. We begin with a cube: rotating it at eye level, right then left, up then down. They use their drawing instrument or an extra pencil to measure distance and sight angles. More explained on that here.
Then we had a cup to the picture, again eye level-measuring distance between, height of objects, angles- to give us the structure of our drawing.
Changing the composition by overlapping the cube and the cup
Well I think that's a good start to passion! We will see what the rest of the weekend brings.
Hope everyone is staying warm- thanks for reading-
peace,
