Process

Students should place their easels around the still life so that every angle is covered. Using a white sheet of paper and the drawing media of your choice (charcoal, conte or graphite) recreate what you see. Pay close attention to the relationship of objects to each other. Check proportion and scale for accuracy. Pay close attention to shading and contrast. Back up if you need to to better see what you are drawing.

This drawing should be rendered as much as possible within the given amount of time. Start with your gesture first to work out proportions. Follow with adjustments, shading and details.

The drawings will be displayed as a group sculpture, recreating the still life in 3 dimensions.
