Each day during the Gesture Drawing unit, you will beassessed on participation according to five criteria:


30/87


1. Artistic behavior: Quiet during instructions &drawing, focus on your work;


31/87



2. Drawing: Look at the model MORE than at your

paper; draw from your ARM not your WRIST;

paper; draw from your ARM not your WRIST;3. Modeling: Participation as a model, keeping asstill as possible; not interfering with a model (notouching, throwing things at, etc);

4. Effort: Putting forth your best effort; tryingyour hardest;

Purpose:Today we will learn how

to give more structure

and proportion to thefigure.

Practice:

We will demonstrate

our understanding by

sighting and

representing the basic

geometric solids of a

model to make an

accurate tonal gesture

drawing.

sighting / measuring


39/87

Breaking the figure into geometric parts


40/87

The geometric solids provide structure to show form

Use the shapes to measure proportion


41/87

After drawing the line of movementand establishing the structure lets

focus on adding to that structure

Add contours andshapes to create formand establish theoverall proportion of

the figure

After the line of 1 Draw the position of each


51/87

After the line ofmovement and tilt ofshoulders and hips:

1. Draw the position of eachlimb

2. Emphasize where the stress

and movement is in the body


52/87

the formof the figure

1. start with your initialgesture sketch/skeleton

2. add geometric shapes (likecylinders)

3. refine these shapes(tapered cylinders forarms/legs)

4. add contour lines to show

edges

5. add tone to show value(push & pull)

Taking our gesture drawings further1. Start with the skeleton of your drawing

LOOK FOR:



68/87


LOOK FOR: line of movement, the spine



69/87


LOOK FOR: line of movement, the spineangle of shoulders



70/87


LOOK FOR: line of movement, the spineangle of shouldersangle of hips



71/87


LOOK FOR: line of movement, the spineangle of shouldersangle of hipsangles made by arms & legs



72/87


LOOK FOR: line of movement, the spineangle of shouldersangle of hipsangles made by arms & legslocation & size of head

2. Build onto your skeleton: what basic shapes do you see?



74/87




3. REFINE these shapes: make adjustments



75/87





4. Build on details - what shapes are made by your personsclothing, hair, etc? Start simple!

to make Monotypes!


86/87

Look at your drawings from last class,

and decide what parts you would like totrace onto a plate(can be all from one drawing or from more than one)

print will be made of 3 or 4 (or more) plates -may be overlapping or lined up, may be straightor crooked, may be realistic or abstract, may be

colorful or monochromaticcan re-wet and blot paper for printing moreplates
