"The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it.
What is makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get"
Jim Rohn
We started out by watching a very short little video on The Art of Colored Pencil. The artist showed how the colored pencil is used in an overlaying fashion, as many as 12 different hues, to create some very realistic tones in a still life composition. I then discussed the proper way to sharpen the pencils and pointed out a couple of things in the video, like how the artist held the pencil when drawing lightly (from the end of the pencil).
The students filled in the form I developed (seen on my other blog site djochum2.blogspot.com) As I looked them over afterwards, I was pleased at the variety expressed. I can't wait to see how this manifests itself in the final products.
We spent some time cutting the student's paper into the desired sizes they will need to complete their goals.
Again, a lot of variety in sizes.
The rest of the period was spent working on drawings and developing compositions. One of the students beginning works on a 9 x 12 in ebony pencil is right here.
As you can see, it is only first day of working, but she has gotten a good start at what she perceives to be a cubism drawing of boxes.
