Mid-term drawings of Pop-ups
The follow-up to this assignment was to use the actual pop-up for a composition on a good sheet of drawing paper. This portion of the assignment would reinforce their understanding of the 10 step value scale. We transitioned from pens to pencils and/or charcoal. During class sessions we've been working on creating three-dimensional forms on two-dimensional surfaces. With this part of the project, students were asked to create a chiaroscuro effect drawing that gave the illusion of a three-dimensional object.
Houston was one of the few students to use charcoal. He did a wonderful job of creating a subtle, yet striking chiaroscuro effect within the negative space surrounding the focal point. 
Jay did a nice job of re-creating the table surface around his pop-up. The curve of the table offers a nice contrast to the linear elements of the pop-up and grout lines. 
Elie had someone hold her pop-up above the surface of a table to create this image. The sweeping diagonal pulls your eye from left-to-right.
