Here it is! My first post for my new class. Check out my thursday class students (pictured here and to the right) Alyssa Harper, Emma Patton, Mikayla Simon, and Delaney Bigelow. It's going to be a great class!
Above they are working on "Wild Thing" scratchbook pictures. They may be finished these this thursday, then I can post them.
The previous week -
The first class of a new session, I like to do some sort of a straight-forward drawing assignment. I think it helps get us "in the groove," get our pencils warm, and our artistic eyes open. We did an observational drawing assignment - a still life of a vase of assorted fresh flowers.
Here are a couple examples of the girls' work.

Definitely just a rough start to this drawing!! Here I am showing the girls a few drawing techniques - starting with large shapes, finding the gesture of the subject before filling in details and value. I like to work alongside my students at least a few moments here and there (it seems like I rarely finish with them!) I think it helps me share the secrets I have learned in school and from experience, and it feels more comfortable for them than having me hovering over their shoulders I think.
