The Project:

This project is fairly straightforward.  Draw what you see.   It also asks you to be sensitivity to form, texture, and Value.

 

ok, take 3 pieces of 5×7″ drawing paper.  The take three geometric objects.  On the first paper draw one object.  On the second draw 2 objects. And on the third paper draw all three objects.

 

simple right?  Well not so fast…

for each drawing I want you to set up a Ground, a Background, and place your objects in a 3D space.  You will need to pay close attention to value, textures, and the highlights.
