What is Chiaroscuro? And what effect does it have on drawing?

Chiaroscuro is the powerful use of shading/light and dark in works of art. Value adds dramatic effects and form to an otherwise dull drawing.

3

Draw a Value Scale with at least 10 different values.

4

What is the best way to begin drawing until you are sure all sizes, placement and proportions are correct?

Draw lightly so if mistakes are made they are easier to erase.

5

Know the difference between eye level, bird’s eye view and worm’s eye view.

6

Show foreground, middle ground and background in a simple landscape.

7

What is a “multi-media” drawing?

A multi-media drawing is one that uses more than one media (see requirement one for a list of media).

8

Explain Linear Perspective and list at least 4 ways to achieve it when drawing a landscape.

Linear Perspective is showing depth or distance in your drawing. Here are some techniques:

Technique	Effect
Placing an object high on the page	Looks far away
Placing an object lower on the page	Looks closer
Size	Smaller are far away/larger are close
Overlapping	objects you don’t see all of are farther away
Detail and color	Close objects will have more detail, texture and darker color than objects in the distance.

9

Draw a cylindrical object and a rectangular object grouped together a little below the eye, showing proper perspective, light and shade.

10

Understand and describe these types of subject matter:

10a

Portraits

10b

Abstract

11

Draw an animal using simple shapes such as squares, triangles, rectangles.

12

Make a freehand sketch of an animal, showing in values the distribution of color.

13

Make a drawing of some landscape near your home.

Remember, you can’t draw the whole world in your piece, so choose a small section for this landscape.

14

Draw and shade in a still life.

Make it personal and interesting; add personal touches and objects that you are excited about - this will make your artwork more fun and easier for you to finish.

15

Memorize Psalm 33:6, and discuss how it relates to drawing.

“By the Word of God were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.”
— Psalm 33:6
