Monday

Drawing 1

1. Container – cleanser, moisturizer, water bottle, etc.
2. Furniture – chair, table, cupboard, etc.
3. Fabric – handkerchief, t-shirt, socks, etc. (need to see folds)
4. Fruit – apple, orange, pear, etc.
5. Flower - orchid, rose, lily, etc.

The objects chosen must be real. Representations e.g. in the form of toys or home decoration etc. are not acceptable. You may wish to remove any labels/stickers for more concentration on the form itself.
Observe where the light source is, highlight, crest shadow, reflected light and cast shadow. Include textures of the object if any.


* This is homework, not assignment. The week after next then is assignment. =)

Must come for Communication Skills tomorrow - important lesson.

Dear students,

Gentle reminder..
There's no lecture on friday. Please watch the video "Fundamentals of Drawing" at our school library before your next week's lesson.

For this coming weekend's homework, draw and shade 5 objects (each on a single page) from the groups listed in the PDF.
Best if place few sheets of white paper and a light source for the studies. See below for example.
This makes it easier to spot the light and shadows!

As your 2nd assignment is coming very soon (week after next!), make your BEST effort to come for next lesson.
We will be collecting your next week's drawings.

Rgds,
Ms Hoe
Lecturer

Portfolio [18th week thereabout]
Recall the talk we've had about our upcoming studio project 1 that starts next semester by Miss Wendy? Yup. You have to prepare it anyway so I might as well juz say it :D

The File:
-A3 sized file
-labelled with your name and admin number
-remove the price tag*
-most recommended to have a title page for the file with your own design
-Your work printed out on a decent piece of A3 sized paper
-Your work muz have a work description on it somewhere [e.g. at the bottom corner of your work]
-There has to be a minimum of 10 pieces of YOUR OWN WORK

The Work:
-CANNOT be copied or be wholely derived from other sources
-HAS TO BE PRINTED, no originals in that file of yours thank you very much
-Cannot be the work that you have done during school time [as in assignments and stuff]
-Has to look presentable [I mean, of course isnt it?]

And that's all I know for the file [and this is especially so for people who are busy sleeping in class ah]



**Go print out your grading sheets from the reference drive

Yup yup, think Ive stressed you enough ;D Enjoy your homework!
