Boxes

In this session on the 24th September we were asked to draw 2 images of squares that were positioned differently on the page. Materials used during this lesson were; a 2B pencil and cartridge paper. At the start of the lesson we were asked to use the technique scale to copy 2 images of squares off of a peice of paper. The first peice we were able to pin to our easels and copy by using our pencils and fingers to map out the length and angle of the shape. Where as our second peice of paper had to stay in the floor making it harder to use scaling as it was further away from our eyesight and harder to map onto the page. 

Techniques used during this session were; scale drawing and tonal study. Areas of my work that I think worked well are the proportion of the squares I had drawn. I think this because they are all the same size and look realistic. This also means that the scale is quite accurate as they are all the same and the scale of them is correct. 

Areas of my work that could be improved would be the accuracy of the lines and how the lines are drawn. I need to concentrate more when drawing them to make sure they are straighter this would make my drawing more accurate. 

To extend my skills I will look at objects at home and try and relate these things to techniques I have tried in class and either recreate or practice this. By doing this will make me more familiar to the technique and allow me to progress and get better. 

In this session on the 24th September we were then asked to draw a composition of boxes. Materials used during this session include a 2B pencil and cartridge paper. Techniques used were; shading, scale and perspective. There were 4 boxes that were positioned in different ways (lay down, slanted etc) in the centre of the room. We then had to draw the objects using our technique of measuring with our pencils to create an accurate scale.

Areas of my work I think worked well would be the accurate scale of my drawings this is because the size and scale of each box is the same size and fits on the page.

Areas of my work that could be improved are the tonal qualities. I think I need to work in the time on my drawing as it doesn't really show much skill. If I was to finish this or add more I think that, that would definitely improve it.

To extend my skills I would finish this piece of work by working on the tone throughout and practicing on other drawings using tone so I improve.
