Understanding of Art

LESSON 5 FIRST: Read through our text on drawing and listen to the posted lecture on drawing. SECOND: Watch the attached two videos. One on William Kentridge, and the other one on drawing. THIRD: For this response I want you to use a cheap bic-style pen and make two drawings. Here are the rules for the drawings: Drawing 1: 1. Grab a single piece of fruit. I suggest an apple, a banana, an orange, a pear… just something familiar.  2. Use the pen, and your eyes, to make a fully rendered/modeled drawing of the piece of fruit. DO NOT WORK FROM A PHOTO! Try to shade the object. Try cross hatching, repeating tiny circles, or laying in flat planes of tone. Try to make it look real, and remember to include a cast shadow. Also, remember the more marks the better. Make it dense! Drawing 2: Take a 30 min break. Maybe watch one of the videos??? 1. Now, I would like you to take out another sheet of paper and make a drawing of the same fruit from memory. See how much of the visual information you have retained.  *They will graded on effort and time, not skill. Fourth: Write on one of the drawings, or another piece of paper, what you think is the most important part of William Kentridge’s artwork and include it with your drawings. I will link in the video and I drew a banana incase you want to mention it William Kentridge Interview: How We Make Sense of the World Let me know if you can not find the videp
