Form Study
The Form Study challenges student to explore forms isolating this element by rendering them in a value scale. Students render a large still-life comprised of white forms. Then the exercise challenges them to create an abstraction from the original composition. This bring a new skill in developing a grid and exploring re-framing a new composition extracted from the original drawing. Students create a simple contour drawing of the new extracted composition then are challenged to enlarge that drawing 200% using a grid to enlarge the extraction.
The final three drawings of this exercise includes s a well-drawn contour drawing, a drawing rendered with point and line, and a color rendering.
