What are the "Study Drawings"?

 

   The Study Drawings are extra drawings that you will do in between your larger assignments. The subjects of the drawings are given to you, but you are encouraged to be as creative as possible with them. It is important that you add DETAIL to these drawings (line, value, texture, background). After the first three, you can do them in any order, and you can use any medium you'd like. (Just ask me!)

  

-See the Student Gallery for examples of exceptional work.

● When do you do a study drawing?

           You will see prompts spread out in the units that will tell you when it is time to do a study drawing. 

 

The first three are very specific, so you can practice basic skills....

Draw the following in order:

            2.  A pile of silverware ~ add value (pencil)

            3.  A bird ~ add value & texture. (pencil)
