1. Day 2 Studio
E.Lyon

2. Find your art
First, put your name on the back of two pieces of cardboard
Gesso each of the pieces of cardboard
Set them some where in class to dry
If you are done, help others, clean up
Find your string drawing from last class

3. String Drawings What challenges did you have drawing the string?
Why do you think those were challenges for you?
Share with your group and then be ready to share with the class
Based on the challenges we will have some mini-lessons/techniques and then try to draw the string again

4. Try Again Try to draw the string again: Expectations No erasers
Go off the page or to the edge
At least 5 tones of grey

5. Compare Compare your first string drawing to your last string drawing
What changed between the two drawings(this is stuff you can see)?
How did you feel doing the drawing the second time?
What helped the most with the mini-technique lessons in class today?

6. Next Class
Next class we will draw our hand on one of the gesso boards, but don’t worry we are going to learn a way to cheat with drawing our hand

7. Project #1
Drawing your hand

8. Step #1 How to cheat in art
Everyone needs:
Clear paper
vis-à-vis Marker
Trace your hand(keep the paper and your hand in the same position)
Then track the clear paper onto white paper, using the window as your light table(you might want to tape the paper together)

9. Step #2 Cut out your hand shape
Trace the shape of your hand multiple times to create patterns and shapes in your background on the white gessoed piece of cardboard
Glue your hand to the board

10. Add depth Shade the hand using the charcoal pencil
Cut out shapes or lines in the background to create texture

11. Project #2
Take out the piece of cardboard you made with just the paper towel on it
Not the one with the mountain, but the other one

12. Discover
Find something in all the wrinkles and folds of the paper towel and draw something there
Turn the folds into something
You can use a pen, pencil, charcoal(no color yet)
