FRIDAY DRAWING FOCUS: Urrghh! How do you draw NOSES????

Let me help. First, understand that you really should not DRAW noses; instead, you should SHADE the form of the nose. But you need a good form first, so focus on using correct proportion lines, and then begin by drawing in the BASIC SHAPES of the nose, followed by the details of the bottom of the nose. Remember to use VALUE when shading- no scribbles or it will not blend well.


Next, watch a few of the drawing tutorials in the videos by following this link below:

FRIDAY, April 12 Art21 Assignment: Make-Up Work


Today, you will be learning about two 21st century artists creating visual art without a canvas and within the realm of their own reality. Questions to answer after or prior to viewing film segments include:

2. Explain what is meant by 'appropriation.' Use a dictionary or online resources.
