1. DP – Gesture Drawing Journal
Assignment
Due: Thursday, December 13th
Create 2 full-page spreads (that is 4 half
pages if you are counting; or 2 pair of
facing half-pages – think that covers it!)
using the gestures from our first days of
gesture drawing.
1. Develop the gesture drawings –
add clothes and objects for the gestures to hold. Be creative! Have the gestures
interact.
2. Develop a background! Give the figures somewhere to be. Make the background
go with the figures and their clothing. Be creative – yes, again!
Materials you can use? Watercolor,
tempera, scrap construction paper,
india ink (your favorite), charcoal
pencils, colored pencils (in the table
boxes); tissue paper; magic marker
washes. Be inventive!!
