As promised, tonight we try the paper bag project!! Tonight we experiment with a range of pencils from hard to soft and how to create values. Before starting, we reviewed a variety of shading techniques using different types of lines. We then set up our paper bag models and dove in!With only 45 minutes to create our drawings, we had to work fast and plan carefully. I recommended to my students to be careful to be picky about the level of detail that they chose to include in their drawings. With a time restriction, we sometimes need to sacrifice a certain level of detail to be able to finish a drawing in the time allotted.
We blocked in our rough shapes with our 2H pencils and then got shading with our darker, softer pencils. See the results!—
One of our students who was able to start this project a bit sooner than the others, went for more detail and a different style. Here, contour lines are used to define the shadows and wrinkles in her paper bag model. The detail is amazing. No values seen here but the final product is stunning!
