Final Drawing, I call it: things on a table
Essential Question: What are the necessary skills to create a convincing still life drawing?
Purpose:
To create a still-life drawing that demonstrates understanding of angles & ellipses in perspective, along with using a chosen and conscious mark-making technique to describe form;
To understand value by creating a good range of values between black & white to help make the objects appear 3D;
To demonstrate quality craftsmanship and good composition skills in a drawing.
Artists Studied: Henry Moore, Giorgio Morandi, Kerry James Marshall, Vincent van Gogh, Winslow Homer, John Whalley
Reflection:
I would describe the types of marks that I used in my still-life drawing as lively. The lines were not always perfectly planned but helped the drawing build character and feel real. My work is most closely related to and based on Giorgio Morandi because not every one of his drawings was exactly line for line what he drew, but you could tell what it was that he was drawing and the dimensions of it.
There have been many changes from my original drawing to my latest drawing, all good changes. Firstly, in my first one, the drawing makes it look like the objects in it are warped and falling off the page. My POV and depiction of the objects themselves have improved tremendously. Secondly, my shading. In the first drawing, every shadow had the same tone but in the new one, you can tell the difference from object to object and from shadow to object. Lastly is the type of shading, at first, I was just scribbling and didn’t create a purpose for every line, but in the new one, every line has its place and helps give the drawing character.
below is my first drawing:
