4.  Which one would you say is your favorite?  Why is it your favorite?  What stands out about it?  How does it emphasize the word at your table?  In what way does the other image fail?  Does everyone in your group agree with you?  How can the artist of the other print (the not good one) make it better?

5. GOODNOT GOOD  Composition makes sense  Objects are grounded on the paper and fit correctly  Artist used all of the space around the objects  Artist added value to imply 3 Dimensions  Composition doesn’t make sense – why are these things together?  Objects are too small/too big and seem to be floating on the paper  The background is neglected  There is no shading or bad shading. It looks flat

6.  Sometimes artists don’t want to follow the rules. Sometimes they want to make art that causes discord because it makes us look at it longer and talk about it. This is not pretty, and doesn’t follow the rules, but people still talk about it because it is interesting

8. UNBALANCED TOO TINY ON THE PAPER

9.  http://www.draw23.co m/drawing- composition http://www.draw23.co m/drawing- composition  Would moving the objects to the left/right/up/down make the image look more balanced?  Would "zooming in" or "zooming out" from the picture make it look more balanced?  Are the spaces between the objects balanced?

10. Move the Circle

11.  An easy way to make sure your drawing looks like it makes sense is to make the objects proportionate to each other  The best way to do this is to use dowel rods to measure long distances against short ones and to get the right angle. How many of these Fits into this? Answer: 1.5 How does this angle Relate to this one?

12. What are we doing?  Using three classroom objects, put together a still life.  Use the measuring techniques along with what we’ve learned about placement and composition to draw a contour drawing of your still life  Don’t worry too much about the details!! All we want is the outline.  Make sure it’s proportional!!!

14.  Positive space is the object we are meaning to draw  Negative space is the around the object, often called the background

15.  Fill in the objects of your still life with one color  Fill in the negative space with its complement  Complementary colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel

17.  How we add depth and make a 2-D drawing look like it’s 3-D  Incidental Inherent

18.  Where the light hits and causes a change in the value  Varies depending on the time of day, type of light, etc. What we are doing? Using your still life from the last class period, add black ink to where there is shadow An easy way to tell is to hold your finger over it, can you see the shadow of your finger? If you can, then that part is not in shadow The rest is left white

19.  Value caused by the color/shape of the object  Does not change What are we doing? Using your still life from the other day, take the vine charcoal and completely cover the drawing. Blend with paper towel Add darker charcoal to make the dark parts, erase the charcoal to make the light parts. You should have at least 3 different shades!!

20.  Mat all three/four of your drawings to black paper  Write your name on the back of the black paper  Fill out the self assessment with pencil  Tape it to the back of your drawings  Put in the box for me to grade!!! Most important part!!
