Final Still Life Drawing

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, Vincent van Gogh, Winslow Homer, John Whalley

I did cross hatching and this is more of Giorgio Morandi’s styles this helped me create different values because you could space out the lines or create less lines to make it lighter or darker.

I think that in my final my shapes looked a lot more 3D I learned that you need to make shadows to properly show values
