2.Also Under “Websites of Interest” go to Maucaulay, Rome Antics on TED, Perspective (familiarize yourself with the basic rules and terms, we will go over it in depth in class- you must prepare ahead).
3. Visit ONE site from Contemporary Drawing or Sketching/Sketchbooks listed under websites.
4. Test and Evaluate. When we draw, do we know what we are doing in the moment? Probably not or hopefully not! This is why reflection and review of what we did is important.
Practice drawing 20 gestures from 1 second and increasing in speed until you have spent a few minutes per drawing. Do three sets of 20.
5. You are required to post one fascinating thing you find this week on the class blog. You must include your drawing based on this thing.
