High School Art 1 students have begun their drawing unit. We began by learning some basic theory on drawing from the book The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. Learning to draw well is not so much a matter of drawing ability but rather a matter of learning to train our eyes and brain to look at things a certain way when we draw. Our first project was to draw six different views of one object. Second we did a contour (outline) study of a classroom chair. Students sat around the same chair which was set on a table and drew the chair from their perspective. They were supposed to draw the chair without shading. Coming soon... positive/negative face vase and a fun group drawing project. (Be sure and click on each photo to see closer.)
