During class, you'll arrange yourselves in a circle and I'll be giving each of you a small, simple object that can be described with a contour line. You will then begin with a quick (2-3 minutes) contour drawing of your object.
You will then leave your object behind and rotate clockwise to the next student's drawing and object, and complete another quick contour. This is repeated until the papers are filled with drawings of various scale, including some that may overlap. At this point you will return to your own place and decide whether you want to add any more contours of your object to the drawing.
In the second phase, you will turn your paper in all directions to look for interesting movements or directional forces and also a focal point. Then, using a limited range of four values, you will work to achieve balance and integrate the background with the foreground. The values are used to describe pattern and not to create three-dimensional volumes.
