We have a new project to go with the new year. We will be moving on from 2-D works to 3-D pieces. Our first project will incorporate recylced items (aka Trash). I have decided to change this project just a little bit and allow you to create a sculpture that is representational OR abstract. So, just to be clear, you can create something we instantly recognize like a coffee mug or a tree; or you

Birth of Venus by Botticelli (detail) As you all know already, we have been working on the colored pencil portraits. This is the next level of our GRID studies.

I think we all agree that once the pieces are together it is easier to tell what changes can be made to improve each section. For example, as we discussed in the critique, the pieces that catch our attention first are those that

Here are several examples of what I hope you'll do for your hand sketches. The first few at the top are perfect for this assignment and the last couple are examples of M. C. Escher's work. You'll have an automatic A for the year if you can create something as detailed and well rendered as Escher's examples. The best way to start your hand sketches is to do a very light outline.
