Large Scale Drawing
The students will tackle the beast of drawing large by producing a larger than life 6 foot drawing which incorporates foreshortening, high contrast values, and a self portait covering at least 3/4 of the page. This artistic problem is free and open as well. A balance of abstraction and realism is pushed with this assignment. Initially the students will be required to sketch out the basis of their drawing with an extended 36 inch art wand to minimize observational distortion. This also allows the students to draw with their body rather than their fingers which is essential in the making of large scale artwork.
