Preparation Grades: 1. Pinecone large-scale detail drawings
2. Outside sketching a) - Garden drawing from life, thumbnailsb) Outside sketching - Landscape drawing from life - thumbnail & full page sketchbook
4. Small proportion paintings - Apples
5. In classroom sketching - painting thumbnails & quick painting
Project Grades: Drawing & Painting from Life
1. Landscapes: Watercolor and Pen & Ink (colored pastel option too)
2. Still Life: Objects Acrylic Paintings
Principle & Element Focus: Proportion, Space (Depth)
Material Focus: 1. Watercolor techniques & Ink techniques.
Teacher Tip: All of these exercises and projects can be done one after the other or simultaneously (sometimes it's rains and you can't go outside and draw/paint from life). It's important for students to take what they have earned about drawing from photo references and experience having a real life reference that is 3D instead of flat for them. They have to interpret what they see in real space and portray it on the page. This takes a ton of practice, steering away from wanting to do all the details first and instead focusing on the big shapes and how they are in scale compared to other objects near them.
Create depth using terms: Overlapping, Change in scale, Location on the page, Atmospheric Perspective, Detail variation, Saturation variation.
