Paul Cézanne
HISTORY/OVERVIEW
We will review basic observational skill involved in the drawing process, including the Value Scale and how it relates to shading and creating form.
We will review the work of Paul Cézanne; His still lifes and his vision in framing his paintings.
Just draw.
Don’t get too caught up trying to make it “perfect”. It’s better to have a finished work that needs improvement than a half completed work that’s drawn perfectly well and left unfinished.
Students will draw a “mini still life” = the objects, practic-ing proportion and shading (to be drawn on 9x12” white paper)
Students will begin drawing the still life, contour lines of the objects. They may make a view finder so it is easier for them to see what area they are of the still from the view point at their seats.
Students will continue to draw the still life.
Students will finish drawing the still life and begin shading, showing 10 values of the gray scale.
Students will finish shading and turn in their still life. As many details as possible.
