Intermediate Drawing
This is my second drawing class in my Certificate Quest for Printmaking. This is one of the required courses. I am taking this in the summer, so its only 8 weeks long, instead of the 12 weeks.
Since this class was fairly structured, I am placing course syllabus on this page, with individual links to my work for each class or a short discussion on the class. As I recall, we did not follow this to the letter, but we were pretty close.

As with the Beginning Drwing class, I will add the syllabus to this page at a later time, right now I am just showing my drawing after six weeks of class.
I tried 2 versions of this still life, we used thi arrangements for 2 class meetings, however, I completed each during class time. For each image shown, you can click on it for a larger version,
if you are so inclined to do so.
The teapot still life was an attempt to draw a highly reflective surface. So this is my attempt. This was drawn over 2 class meetings.
This exercise was to experiment with subtle white tones, the still life was composed of a bleach cow skull, white vase and a terra catta vase. The drawing was done with white and black charcol on black paper.
