Last Wednesday, the class made drawings exploring the characteristics of line. In the top series, the drawings employ line, shape and texture within symmetrical compositions. The composition below is an example of an asymmetrical composition. In addition, take note of how he has employed atmospheric perspective.
Yesterday the class continued working on their color schemes project. These are due Monday morning. Next week we start drawing in One and Two Point Linear Perspective. Bring rulers.
Mary Roll Students continued working on their Color Schemes today. The objective for this project is to gain experience in mixing colors and values. In addition, students can witness the affect of color on composition. In particular, observe how the distribution of weight changes as well as the way shapes advance and recede according to temperature and value. The color schemes above are (L to R) monochromatic: warm, tertiary triad, analogous, split-complementary, monochromatic: cool, complementary.
On Monday the class began paintings employing the properties of atmospheric perspective. Using silhouettes, the paintings illustrate closed values addressing 10 different values; black, white and eight shades of gray. Somewhere in the design should be a value scale.
