Alright, Star Sketchers! Everyone is ready to take their skills to the next level! Last week you experimented with shifting from the left side of the brain (analytical, verbal) to the right side (emotional, visual). Drawing the negative space around the chair forced your brain to shift from left mode to right mode. It was challenging but I was really impressed to see everyone work through through it. And some of you had some BIG breakthroughs in improving your skills. Perceiving space and being able to draw accurate contour lines will be very helpful for the remaining weeks ahead. Another thing that everyone did well was to draw the egret twice the size of the reference picture while keeping accurate proportions!

This week's drawing challenge:
Look around the classroom or in your back pack. Find an interesting object. It can be a stapler, a piece of your jewelry, or a watch; anything that you can set in front of you to draw. Take a moment to see the negative space surrounding the object... that's where you'll lightly draw the contour lines that show the edges of its form (like you did with the egret). You can add lines and patterns to show textures, and gray tones for shading. HOT TIP: Start by lightly drawing basic shapes of the objects to help you get accurate proportions.
