We began this drawing class by learning to “see”, drawing objects, blindly, with what is called blind continuous line. We, then, drew continuous line drawings while looking, paying careful attention to the cross contours in our subject material.
Todd Dunn2
We studied negative space and began to recognize when we could use the shape and space behind an object to help us describe the subject.
Alan Pareis3
The students worked very hard to begin to see perspective and to measure the angles of lines with their pencils. They used a corner of a room as their subject.
Vanessa Fankhauser4
During the fourth week, they cut photos in strips and practiced laying in three values. They worked from black and white as well as color photos to do this.
Alan Pareis2
They studied the values they saw in a glass, still life study.
Myrna Nelson4
They learned to grid a photograph and measure and enlarge that photograph by creating a proportionate grid on their drawing paper.
Todd Dunn
They studied drawing their self portraits.
