Day 39 & 41: Elements of Art, Depth

Drawing 3D shapes and creating * depth * through shading
Review Lesson HERE

BUT FIRST: We have to review the class expectations for being prepared now that the passing time is only 2 minutes long! and you may only go to your lockers before period 1.3.5.6, not before period 2,4, or 7.

Background information:
We began our investigation of depth with observing space outside our school building and looking at lines and shapes. Then we were introduced to looking at depth with the technique of Linear Perspective. Now we will look at generic shapes that we will see in almost any real life shape or structure that exists in the world.
Activity:
In class today we will see how to create the illusion of depth on the flat paper by drawing these objects in 3D:

• cylinder
• cone
• cube
• sphere

? Can you name the 2D versions of these 3D forms?
After we have drawn each shape 4 times we will practice these forms of shading:

Linear:

• stippling
• hatching
• cross-hatching

Non-linear:

• blending
