Notes About Homework
All homework should be completed in your sketchbook. You should bring your sketchbook to class every week and be prepared to discuss your work in an open class critique. All homework is listed in the below posts and due the following week it was assigned. Example: homework assigned on week 1 is due on week 2.
Week 1 Homework
Think about how you will represent God creating. Write down your ideas and thoughts about how you are going to draw God creating: the earth, darkness, light, water, land, Adam, Eve, etc. (Genesis 1 and/or 2) pick one verse, or a part of a verse. This will be a final for the class. As the class progresses so will this idea. All projects will be part of an exhibit. An example is shown below.
Week 2 Homework
Do 10 gradation scales: 5 using blended lines and 5 using hard lines. Sketch a minimum of 6 of each of the basic shapes; spheres, cubes, cylinders, and cones. These all must be of equal size and hand drawn, no templates or tracings. All must be at least 3" x 3" (no small shapes). They should be solid lines, use your eraser to create a single line. The more practice you get at this the better they will be. Hold your pencil as shown in class for better control. See examples below.
Week 3 Homework
Draw 2 of each of the basic shapes, shade them with light and shadow, one each blended lines and hard lines. Take your time. Using at least 3 basic shapes of your choice, you can repeat them if you want, come up with a design utilizing the positive negative technique. See examples below.
