To complete our drawing assignment, you need to photograph, scan and post your chess piece drawing on your blog. Please make sure you have used the copy stand AND taken a photo using overcast or shade lighting outside (this will ensure a very soft flat light that will reduce shiny reflections). Also scan your art work as well.
Once you have made enhancements to the three images in Photoshop, make sure you SAVE them with the appropriate title and your name, as .jpgs. You should have three images, Name_scan.jpg, Name_copystand.jpg, and Name_outside.jpg. When you post the three, make sure they are labelled accurately.
Write about the three techniques you have learned about to copy your work and discuss the pros and cons of each as they relate to YOUR artwork in particular. For example, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Does one cause a bright spot on your paper? Does one not allow you to copy the entire image? etc.
Write another paragraph about how you used line and value in your drawing. Describe how you created movement, if you created rhythm or pattern, how you contrasted light and dark values, and what you were trying to achieve with your background. Also, discuss the techniques you used to help accentuate the chess piece as the focal point. This will be marked as an artist statement for your drawing assignment. Have fun!
