Sketchbooks have been graded. Please number sticky notes with page numbers and glue them to a "sticky note" page in your sketchbook. This can be on the same double page spread as your Value Reflection or you can start a new double page spread. Do not overlap the sticky notes, both you and I need to be able to read the feedback given to you. If you didn't turn in your sketchbook or you had something unfinished you will need to have ready to turn in on Monday for 10points off.
In class:
We will work with the artist fabric studies using Charcoal and Gesso. We will first block in value using charcoal on the 8x10 paper, work large!!! I want you to use both charcoal pencil and the block charcoal. I will give you 30 minutes to block in value and use the eraser to create mid-tones and highlights. Gesso will then be applied in layers to create highlights and blend values.
Reflection:
Reflect on the materials we used in class today. Compare and contrast the charcoal and gesso. What were your difficulties and frustrations? What came more easily or naturally to you? What are your strengths and weakness? What would you do differently? Do you like or dislike this process? Why?
