Students continue to work towards mastery of value as they complete their current project of self portraits. Students used their own image to draw from and to apply value to but in a less traditional method. Micrography is the creation of values using text. Students chose their own words and by changing the style of font, sizing and spacing they were able to manipulate their values, recreating their likeness.

Students have been learning about using and applying value in a way that creates form. After practicing several different techniques for creating value including pencil shading, hatching/crosshatching, stippling, and scumbling, students began to apply value to forms. Ms. Taylor and myself, along with our lovely student teacher Ms. Rheinheimer from Eastern Mennonite University, enjoying displaying bones, pumpkins, indian corn, and leaves amongst other items for the still life study. Here is some of the student's work! As a follow up to our work with gesture drawing students were asked to create a character, writing about them and then illustrating their character. In an effort to attain more realism with their work we studied proportion of the body as it pertains to genders as well as the proportion of the face. Students completed a sketch of a face before instruction and then one after instruction, the results are exciting! |
