TUES. APR. 26, PORTRAITS

Last night students made portrait drawings of each other.  First, everyone drew a skull that was projected on the screen.  Then they paired up.  The skull drawing had to be manipulated and redrawn the fit the proportions of the sitter. Charlie Sisemore's (top) drawing above illustrates how the attention to anatomy adds dimensionality and volume to the portrait.  Alissa Griffin's drawing (bottom) also reveals her attention to anatomy while also paying close attention to the proportional relationships of the features of the face.  Both drawings exhibit strong mark-making and captivating expressions.
