For the temperature painting we were instructed to show areas of light on the still life with a warm color (like red) and areas in shadow as cool colors (like blue). The goal was to further our understanding of utilizing different colors rather than black and white to show shadows and light.

Even in my sketch its way to see that I didn't make the darkest areas of the composition black. This was our first painting in Intro to Painting, requirements having been to choose one color to do the entire painting in and to use only a palette knife for the application of paint. Other than the complications associated with painting with a palette knife, I struggled the most with using dark, dark values. I tend to shy away from intense dark areas in my art and I think that really shows through in this piece.
This was our final outside of class drawing, for which we were required to focus on one of our favorite techniques we had learned throughout the semester. I chose to focus on blind contour drawing because it was one of the most enjoyable and difficult processes for me. I did several drawings of my (at the time) girlfriend's hands overlapping using varying weights of pencils and crosshatching to fill in the negative space around the hands.
This was our final in class drawing for which we were given a mostly cardboard and tape still life that then had an image of abstract shapes projected on top of it. The process of this drawing involved covering the entire sheet with black charcoal and "drawing" with a kneaded eraser and white charcoal or chalk. It was difficult to capture the dimensions of the objects in the still life with the art projected on top of it but I feel like this is a pretty successful attempt.
For this drawing we were required to completely use up an entire number two pencil, eraser and all, without making an image representative of anything specific. We focused heavily on varying line weights, stippling, use of negative space, and utilizing shading in order to show mass and depth.
For this assignment we created a still life town out of cardboard buildings. Each student constructed a building of different size and then placed it somewhere on our community grid. This was purely a still life drawing after the creation of the buildings and was by far my least successful piece (as well as least favorite).
The purpose of this drawing was to render a chair using negative space rather than line work. We could use any form of shading or crosshatching to fill up the background and create a high level of contrast between the figure and ground.
The second method we explored in Drawing Concepts was a contour line drawing based on various stills from the opening scene of Space Balls. We would pause the film for fifteen minutes and draw as much of the space ship that we could within the time frame without lifting our pens from the paper. We were encouraged to overlap lines and different sections of the ship and not to focus on making an image necessarily recognizable as a spaceship.
This is the first full sized still life we did in Intro to Drawing. We focused on the perspective and volume of objects in order to render a 3-D object in a 2-D drawing. This assignment was also used as an exercise to get comfortable with using crosshatching to follow the contours of objects.
