Get any items you need for getting your India Ink card ready.
if you are not sure what those items are then you need to check yesterday’s post for the list, or ask those that remember what supplies we were using yesterday.
Once it looks like the one below, you are good to go and ready for Monday.
Today:
Most are away with volleyball. We are likely all together for the first half of class, so we should all be able to have our card ready like the example below.
To finish today: have your card ready, see pic below.
Friday:
We will be working on Personal Portfolios, so be sure to have your project work planned out so that you are ready on that day.
Gr. 9-10 – Finishing Cross-Hatching Mug – Choosing Cross-Hatching Final Project
Before you sit down:
Get what you need for your work today (India Ink etc.)
Take a look at the options for your Cross-Hatching Final Project
Options to choose from for Cross-Hatching Final Project (expected amount of time investment – 2 hours)
You will have today, tomorrow (Nov. 14) and likely a little time on Tues. or Wed. next week to get in your two hours for this project. If you are finishing in less, then you will need to pick additional items to try (any of these options are completable with high quality work in less than 2 hours).
Easier challenge – Drawing of 3d objects – pick out 5 different forms (at least 2 round) from the green bin (the shapes we were sketching the other day) and sketch them using cross-hatching.
Moderate challenge – Drawing parts of the the human face using online tutorial videos. For this you must draw at lest one of each, suggestion is two of each (or move on to other optional assignments in this list)
links of videos to help you (although you are welcome to also find your own)
Mastery challenge – Draw parts of human features using actual 3d forms in the classroom
On the shelves at the side of the room, you will find plaster forms of eyes, ears, noses, and lips
use these with the lamps to sketch lightly with pencil for reference, then move on to ink for cross-hatching and majority of the work
For this one you would need to complete min. one cross-hatching sketch of each feature
Mastery challenge – Drawing of a human face using a portrait of a person and using only ink with cross-hatching for value shading and illusion of depth
You could use a portrait of yourself. It would be really cool to use the same portrait that you did with India Ink to compare and contrast your work.
You might get a photo of a famous person if you wish and go from there
Moderate challenge – Drawing of a human face using online tutorial videos and only ink with cross-hatching for value shading and illusion of depth (Good challenge
You could just do a follow along of the video below
process: you might like to use light pencil to get basics and then move on to ink.
