3/8 Eye Level Comps

Monday evening students worked on small, individual compositions.  The assignment was inspired by the studies created by Richard Diebenkorn.  Diebenkorn made numerous small drawings and paintings of objects situated on his desktop observed from various viewpoints.  Students chose three to five objects and composed compositions viewed from above creating an interesting tension between positive and negative areas. The drawings were 12 x 9 in. rendered with graphite pencils.
