Eduardo & Erik

Eduardo


You've made excellent progress in drawing from imagination and observation, Eduardo!! Cool abstract/surreal work inspired by the artist Joan Miro. Nice use of color and gray tones. Great start on the cross-hatching drawing of the man. And the sketch of the skull is a very interesting direction with your imagination and observational skills.

Erik


Excellent job of focusing on the cross-hatch technique in this drawing, Erik!!! Nice work in defining the area of the cheek and mouth by overlapping angled lines. The proportions of the man's face are very well drawn.

Jose

Inspired by the artist Georges Braque, you've created a wonderful cubist composition with lines and gray tones. Hey, Jose! Maybe this could be a direction for your drawing from the imagination for the student show. :-)

Glad you could stop in and draw with us, Miguel!! Fantastic job of using lines and shapes to create an abstract composition. Hopefully you can participate in more of our lessons in the future.

Ruby

Hey, Ruby! Once you got focused on work by artists Mondrian and Kandinsky, you put together a really nice little composition of lines and shapes. I'd like to see you explore more abstract work for your drawings for the student show.

Jesus

It's been quite awhile since you've drawn us, Jesus. Great to have you for a visit!! Looks like you remembered how to draw contour edges to form the man's face and you stepped right into using cross-hatched lines to create shading. Excellent work on the cheek area and under the nose and mouth.

Ignacio

So cool that you could visit for a session of drawing, Ignacio! It's been a long time since I've had you in class. You must be drawing a lot because you did an EXCELLENT job of the form of the man's head. Be nice if you could finish it sometime. Keep drawing, man!

Visiting Students

Since there was testing last week, we had a LOT of new students that haven't drawn with me before along with students who have been drawing with me most of the year. We had some superb efforts by a number of students who said they couldn't draw! Everyone got right into drawing with lines and shapes, accurate proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes), and even a little cross-hatching. Hope you can join us next year to learn more skills!
