Glue in your Charcoal/Watercolor/Gesso Experiment (make sure you have your reflection). Get out your wrapped object.
In class: Paper Experiment
Step 1: 10 minutes for each drawing
Using your Wrapped object as your subject create a charcoal sketch on each of the papers (Tag Board & Watercolor). You may zoom in on one area. I suggest working large so that you have space in order to experiment with the material and explore application techniques with the different paper. Remember to use the eraser to blend mid-tones, shadows and highlights once you have applied the charcoal sketch to the different papers. Look over your two other media studies and reflections so that you can assess what worked or didn't work in your last experiments.
Step 2: 10 minutes for each wet material
Begin using wet materials on the two papers. On the Tag Board you will start with gesso as your wet material, where as on the Watercolor paper you will start with watercolor as your wet material. Add wet material to one charcoal drawing, then let it dry while you add wet material to the other. Remember once you have added a wet material it will need to be dry before you can erase or add more charcoal. I have two hair dryers that can be used to speed the process up.
Step 3:
Finish apply materials and reflect on what you learned. What paper will work best for your style? Why? Compare and Contrast the two papers and what they allow you to do with the materials. Discuss application process and techniques used during experimentation.
