WHAT TO BRING TO CLASS THIS WEEK!

I would like you all to bring in clear magazine tear outs of faces, hands, that sort of thing, with good contrast and detail. we will be using them in class this week. Also, you do NOT need to bring in your large newswprint pads, just your sketchbooks.

see you at 2:50

The Opening

Thank you to the students from tuesday's drawing fundamentals class for attending the opening reception of "The Black Madonna" at Union theological seminary in NYC last night. It was great fun for me to share some of my work with you all and to take you to what may have been a very new experience.

I look forward to being able to do that again with you all soon. I recommend picking up or subscribing to Time Out New York magazine. there you canfind listings of all things happening in NYC including artist talks, gallery receptions, lecture series and more!

have a great day and see you all in class today!
cheers

Here are some images to help familiarize you...




Negative space is a key component to interesting overall designing of your picture.
Happy drawing!
