Good afternoon. It’s October 31st Tuesday

Sketchbook:Theme: Cartoon (or realistic) faces from a variety of viewpoints.

You have, along with this handout, cartoon faces on egg-shaped templates. They are drawn from a variety of viewpoints.

You are to experiment with drawing faces, in a realistic or cartoon format from at least 4 different angles. You can use the templates or draw your own.

We are doing some of the preparation work for your mask project. I would like you thinking about the viewpoint you choose for your mask.

The assumption might be that the mask needs to be created so that the eyes are symmetrically placed, with the viewer directly ahead. This is certainly an option, but it does not need to be this way.

You might decide to be looking up at the face, or to have the face directed so that the eyes are looking down.

You might want the mask to be in profile. You might choose to have several viewpoints combined.
