Observational Shoe Drawing
Challenge yourself appropriately. Remember, your sketchbook drawings are a way to demonstrate and document your learning as well as your progress/improvement over time. All students are required to show this.
Assignment due date: Friday, September 28th
Task: Choose a shoe(s) to draw in which you will be able to demonstrate the following:
A strong composition;
Line sensitivity/line variation;
Attention to detail.
This should be a contour drawing. Please include contours that define the edges as well as cross-contours.
A few reminders about creating strong compositions:
• avoid placement at dead center
• diagonals are more active than horizontals
• equal amounts of figure and ground confuse the eye
• sameness is frequently boring
