8th Grade
Advanced Art
In your bright, shiny new sketchbook,
complete a 5-minute sketch. Choose something you have with you (a pencil, a phone, a rhinoceros…) and do a sketch of that object. You are only going to spend 5 minutes, so get the basic outline of the object on the page first. Pay special attention to shading to make the object look 3-Dimensional. Put the date by your sketch.
5 – Minute Sketch
Still Life Examples
Where is the light source in each of the
pictures below?
Finding the Light
Pair up and discuss some
difficulties you had with accurately drawing your still life drawing. Think of possible solutions to make drawing easier. Be prepared to share your problems and solutions with the class.
Reflect and Improve
What are the qualities of a good
still life composition? What should you avoid when arranging objects for a still life? Draw two sketches in your sketch book, one illustrating a bad still life composition and one illustrating a good still life composition.
Compose Yourself
In your sketch book, draw a chart like the one
below. You are creating a value scale from light to dark, each shade a little darker than the one before. Make sure you have 8 values in total.
Finding Value
Now that you have completed your
first set of drawings for Advanced Art, critique yourself. Describe one thing you did really well with in your still life drawings. Describe one area where you feel you still need improvement in your drawing skills. Think of one “Next Step” to work on for future projects.
Self-Critique
Below are a few examples of value drawings using stippling. These are examples of what your picture should look like when you are through. What do you notice about these drawings? Make 3 observations about the pictures below that will help you create your picture.
Stippled Value
Practice graduating your value using stippling by making a copy of the shaded sphere below, using stippling instead of shading. Do your best to blend the values smoothly.
