This week is basically the same as last week's homework, but now that you have the value scales under your belt, both exercises should be a bit more familiar. Remember that drawing in full value means that it isn't about line anymore (even though you are still using line). Instead, you are looking at the lights and darks and simply filling in shapes. Don't forget that the negative space has a value to it as well. If something is lit up by a light source, then the background is guaranteed to be much darker than the paper! When you fill in an area with value, do it carefully, and not sloppily. Make your drawings beautifully crafted . . .
Self-Portraits: draw near a strong light source ( a lamp or a window) OR you can take a picture of yourself in strong light and draw from the picture. Using photography is okay this week! :-)
Still-life: you are to choose an interesting object (different than the one from last week), put it near a strong light source, and make an observational drawing of that object. Make it at least life sized and fill your paper.
