transparent bodies...?

Students in 3-D art are working on creating installation sculptures for the school.  We are having a lot of fun creating tape casts of bodies in motion.  Check out our progress...

transforming value

Students created value studies of photographs using India ink.  They were then required to transform those values into a monochromatic painting.

contour and value studies

Students have been working on basic contour and value drawings.  With the crushed soda cans, students have to distinguish between value created by the light and also the local value created by the color of the object.  I am excited about the progress.  We will be moving on to portraits next week and utilizing ink washes to create value.  Once students get a firm grasp on value, we can begin introducing color!
