方老师点评
画面很仔细 很好
篮中正前的鸡蛋可以再突出:颜色加深 对比加强
篮外右方中间鸡蛋的设计要增加: 现在有点简单
改好后(?)复印一份



其他同学作业对比:
老师强调 对小孩的画 his own design (view/imagination)'s importance ... 不要为了象不象 一笔一笔大人示范临摹
Killing the imagination: the artist's ultimate goals, the skill is fundamentals
Created unnecessary frustrations

2. Design 的颜色要非常仔细 不能草草几笔
3. color pencil 不同于Marker 需求线条 力量的控制

课堂作业:
画树
画花
树枝交叉是立体的 not always from side: front, back etc.
有的树干是 raw 的
树干从底到高是 从粗到细的
板上有二棵不同树 inkpen 照着各画一张
板上有四种花 water color 本子上 inkpen 画二幅 要有 大小 前后 疏密 组合 角度 overlap 的变化




子洋作画:
树叶上有点太 detail
画的很认真
花太小 都太直

方老师点评:
整体不错
左上方较好
画的色调不平衡
左下方树荫颜色太重
整个画面左重右轻
右面加细节时可以注意弥补

其他同学作业对比:
用Oil paste 的总的来说色彩比较细腻 变化较丰富
树 草的处理 子洋需要加强学习
3-D 面的分割线 不用画(尤其不用黑线) 用不同面上颜色的变化(或深浅)来体现
干净的画面 颜色变化细腻的画面看起来效果好

课堂:
Volume
三个Group: Dark Middle Light

用线条的疏密来表现 (如用inkpen时)
不是用线条交叉或重叠
Advanced class :
3片叶子
Overlap 留白
不同Volume (线条疏密)
不要雷同或平均 要有变化 方向 曲度
轮廓线和叶脉线的分别
不要重叠交叉

子洋作业
先画亭子(板上有一个范本)
2个
亭子大轮廓
顶:三角形 体:长方形 底:圆 台阶
注意背景的处理 可以自己发挥
可以注意volume
方老师课中 提醒子洋线条不要交叉重叠

再画一个3-D的亭子
注意应没有直线
不要涂抹修改线条


回家作业:
画完课堂作业
广告上房子inkpen

邻居房子 观察后用记忆画

下周课程:
大小本
Markers

Today's class continues with 3-D object. Draw your house.

Jonathan's homework:

3-7-2010

Topic:
1. Google logo design.
2. Idea on our earth.

Jonathan's homework:
1. Skiing logo.
Material oil pastel and color pencil.

2. Jonathan told us the idea of this design: the bowling bins are moved by a tractor.
Material oil pastel and color pencil

3. Jonathan is very interested in playing chess recently. He can win "Shallow" at www.learn4good.com-chess most of the time, and sometimes he can win "Deep". The previous two logos were not drawn with effort, since he finished them in a hurry and then headed for chess. I got angry with this. He used to love drawing trains, dinosaurs so much. So I told him to "draw the things you love and you think is beautiful". This is the drawing he came up with: chess board. Google letters checkmate the other king. Jonathan thought up of the "bubble" idea. I like this drawing. It is a match between two worlds. The flame heats up the match. But outside the bubble, it is cold and quiet. Jonathan loved his drawing too. Now he found himself good at drawing. I saw the eagerness on his face again.
Material: color pencil

4. Earth topic. The drawing was not well finished.

2-28-2010

Topic:
Continue with 3-D box sketch.

One of Jonathan's homework.

2-21-2010

Previous Homework:
- need more detail on tiger's body
- need "highlight" tiger (as main focus): one solution is to make background darker.
- other student's pictures:
- quite a few used very bright color as background and look good
- suggest to use some small flakes to balance the picture (shape/focus/color)

Class: ink pen sketch box (3-D)
- observation: not object's detail for drawing, but shape.
- First: 4 dots to define the box, most top, bottom, left and right
- Secondly: line connection to form sides. Note: not necessary to connect above 4 nodes directly because they may not on the same side in 3-D
- Third: build 3-D boxes
- note: when drawing lines, it needs be one-time work firmly. No erase as ink-pen, but can correct with overlapping lines. Suggestion: When start drawing the lines, eyes at the end of line destinations.
- Note: line perspective, at current level, just draw parallel lines for boxes
- drawing details: when to fussy/fade out? (skip/break some lines as dash lines because it's inkpen which cannot use value and color to fade out)
(1) size: smaller one fade out
(2) locations: far fade out (when same size)
(3) line directions: all image/line direction should be consistent (parallel at current level) with box shape to avoid image (2-D) on box's surface "standing up" as 3-D


Homework:
- improve previous homework (the year of tiger)
- 10 pages boxes ink pen with detail (different shape)
- next week: color pencils

2-14-2010

Previous homework:
- In general: too small
