student drawings
March 29, 2010
It seems impossible to have come this far already, but my time at Nipissing is almost over: classes end this week, and because fine arts studio courses don’t have a slot in the exam schedule, the last class of the semester is given over to the final critique. It’s almost over but for the very large task of grading portfolios and documenting work.
Here are a few of my life drawing students’ completed second-to-last projects, a two-week drawing using the skeleton and the figure. They had a week to work on the skeleton drawing, building it up with mixed media, before adding in the model the second week. I didn’t plan the pose to help them integrate it with how they’d drawing the skeleton, so they had to figure out for themselves how to make the drawings successful. Some of them chose to make the figures literal and solid while others allowed the two forms to move in and out of one another more fluidly; below are examples of both approaches.Their final project, a similar two-week drawing with two figures, is due this afternoon in our final critique.
