All the while observing and comparing values. THis is a joining of LINE AND TONE to create a \u00a0depth in your work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Drawing from the model is the best way to sharpen your composition and proportion skills. By including an aspect of background weight of line, you can determine how large something is. Proportion is only relative to what is your focus in the drawing IN COMPARISON to other objects in either the background or foreground plane.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to think about the following:<\/p>\n<p>Unique Marks<br \/>\nBold line<br \/>\nOverall balance<br \/>\nDark areas vs light area<br \/>\nBackground<\/p>\n<p>You will need your BOOKS ON MASTER ARTISTS, SCRAPBOOK, DRAWING PAPER, CHARCOAL, TAPE, WHITE CHALK \u00a0and NEWSPRINT.<\/p>\n<p>BRING ALL PAST HW IN TO CLASS.<\/p>\n<p>Homework:<\/p>\n<p>Continue working on past assignments.<\/p>\n<p>1.
