DRAWING PROCESS
Begin with gesture drawing.
Draw lightly so you can erase where the white disappears.
Squint at the still life to simplify the subject matter and only put down the whites and light gray values.
Concentrate on seeing the lights and their relative values within an object and between objects.
Objects closest to the light source will have more intense white shapes and lighter grays.
GRADING: 10 points
Your grade will be based on how well you fulfill the following criteria:
Create a balanced and interesting composition where both the positive and negative shapes are interesting, has good rhythm and flow between the shapes, and the eye moves easily around the page.
Objects break the edges of the picture plane on at least 3 sides.
Objects are well drawn structurally and in correct proportion.
Drawing displays a full range of values from black to white and at least 6 shades of gray.
Edges of objects are defined by value change.
Value changes define the forms.
Value of each object and background is correct relative to each other.
