Gesture Warmup
Gesture Warmup
Spend 10 minutes doing gesture drawings with reference images from Line-of-Action.com
Practice for two minutes each image.
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: How to plan an artwork by sketching quick small versions (thumbnails) of possible still life arrangements.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Once we know what we want to include in our still life, we need to decide how our objects will fit together. This is the next planning stage of your still life project and it's an important way to develop any major artwork.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will create multiple thumbnail sketches of your chosen objects in different arrangements.
