So here is your next assignment, there are two parts- the first part is to use a sharpie and outline all of the value changes in your bottle photos!  Yes-----ALL of them, this should take 1 or more class periods, not 5 minutes!!!  Check with Mrs. Norby to see if you are done, if you are she will give you a piece of 12x15 paper- she will send you back to your desk if you don't have everything outlined, as a matter of fact she may send you back a few times.   You can ask the Drawing one girls- they did this assignment when they were in Drawing and Design!

Here is a video explaining more!

What you will need:
18x24 piece of paper
Pencil
Bottles for still life cupboard

Your goal:
To make ordinary bottles LOOK INTERESTING AND CREATIVE!

What you will do:

What I want it 10-12 bottles drawn on the sheet of paper.  You will want to think about the composition of the drawing.  What is composition????  Take time and discuss this as a class before you start drawing....what makes a good composition???  What makes a good bottle drawing?  Is it just the out line................no!  I want details!!!  I want to see the OUTLINES of the lights and darks in the bottle, reflections, shadows.  I want different LINE QUALITY. (What is line quality?)  I want the bottles to not look flat............I WANT YOU TO SEE! 

This assignment should take you 2 days, you should use the entire class period, if you finish in a day ask yourself this............did I have enough detail?  Did I fill my paper, is the composition interesting?  Does my drawing make someone want to look at it for seconds or 5 minutes????
