SKETCHBOOK # 1





Your homework - due Thursday, Oct. 14:

Look at the marble sculpture of the female body (made by sculptor Barranti).

Using the straight line angular technique that we have done in class, do a faithful drawing of the sculpture in your sketchbook with a graphite pencil. Let your angle lines and measure lines show - I want to see the process where you start from a general shape and slowly chisel away to get more and more detail. When you have reached the final shape of the body, you can make curved edges. Outline the edges with a thick, bold line. I will be looking for correct proportion and the angular general-to-specific technique. You do not have to draw the facial features or fingers - but you should draw (outline) everything else.
