Independent Drawing

Lydia So's Independent Drawing...

Compare Or Contrast

Project description:

Create a project that shows a pair of things. They could be opposites or they could be the same. It could be you and your alter ego, light and dark, so on and so forth. It doesn’t have to be tangible, it could be abstract.

Goals:

Understand the connection between two things through their positives and negative points and express it.

Materials:

Many materials and techniques are possible.

Requirements:

The drawing has almost limitless parameters. The material, scale, presentation is all entirely dependent upon the artist’s interpretation concept.

Methods:

Before you start sketching, Plan out a couple sketches and concepts on how you want to do this paring of objects. The drawing must show the relationship of the two. After deciding on which one sketch should be the final, execute the drawing. Scale is determined by you.

Tips:

Make a museum quality piece, and be ready to present it well. Consider how you will hang it for critique. Be considerate of how you organize your objects or conceptual ideas and how the negative spaces will apply to the picture.
