Portfolio Review III: Light and Form! : Drawing I

In this section, we've been focusing on rendering form.  We talked about "zones" of light on a form (highlight, light in middle tone, middle tone, shadow, shadow accent, cast shadow, and accent in cast shadow).  We continued to use cross-contour to help describe form.  We worked from "prepared grounds", where the drawing surface is prepared by rubbing charcoal dust into the paper to create a middle tone.  With this method, students worked both additively by "adding" marks to the paper with charcoal, or subtractively by removing charcoal with their erasers.  We also worked on gray and colored Canson paper using both black and white charcoal.  One assignment focused on "reflective" surfaces using white charcoal on black paper.
