Drawing while holding your pencil on its side (overhand grip) was a big challenge, but everyone got the hang of it. Moving your whole arm and shoulder while drawing also became easier as you drew more. Keep practicing! Scroll down to view my comments on your drawings (or click your name in the column to the right).
We started off with reconnecting with the fun of drawing as a kid. Shown below, pencil warm-ups by Enrique, Chris, Bethany, Eric, and Angelique :
If you find yourself doodling on a piece of paper this week-- hopefully between class assignments :-) -- do some warm-up sketches of angled, curved, and vertical lines, just like last Friday. See what kind of patterns you make--maybe you'll create a cool abstract design! Keep practicing the overhand grip; it will get easier and will help make drawing easier in future lessons. Also practice moving your whole arm and shoulder when drawing. This will help you to draw larger, longer, smoother lines.
If you have other drawings you've made in school, I'll add them to the eXpReSsiOn sEsSiOn.
Everyone got an excellent start in sketching light lines (guidelines) then drawing darker outlines to finish. You got into comparing the size (proportions) of shapes you drew to the reference picture you were looking at. On Tuesday we'll be exploring how to overlap, creating depth in your drawing.
Your lessons are shown below. Be sure to click on your drawing to view it larger. --Rob
