Drawing: Measurement, Proportion, Contour, Value, COLOR SCHEME
Foundations in Art
Sketchbook assignment due December 14 (Friday)
Assignment:
A careful drawing, in which you:
• Find the correct proportions of objects
• Find the relationship between objects
• Find the objects’ relative positions in space
• Use a variety of marks to define the forms
You will use three (3) objects:
• A regular sized Styrofoam coffee cup or similar standard cup
• A lemon, lime, egg, apple, or pear
• An easily recognizable standard size milk or juice container (quart or half gallon)
You should:
• Draw as close to life size as your page will allow.
• Orient your page vertically
• Stand the bottle and cup up. Do NOT lay them on their sides.
• Position the three objects so that they OVERLAP each other
• As you begin your drawing, mark location points to help you figure out proportions and placement of objects on the page.
• Use line variation (light/dark, thin/thick) to indicate the light source, the structure, and detail.
• Define the shapes of your objects using colored pencils. Think about mixing colors just the way you do when you mix paints.
• Use the same color scheme you are using for your mood painting in class. Name the color scheme and the mood – in writing at the bottom of the page.
• When this homework is placed next to your painting, the two should be clearly related because they have the same color scheme.
Materials:
Sketchbook
Pencil, eraser, colored pencils
Three objects
EXTRA CHALLENGE:
Include a second cup lying on its side, with the open end towards you.
