AT-HOME 'Sighting & Measuring' Assignment for Thursday, January 30th

Instead of meeting for our usual class time on Thursday, January 30th, you will have an at-home assignment to complete. You will need to make 4 drawings in your sketchbook from observation of 4 different 3-object still life's. Your still life can be any mixture of organic or rigid forms (i.e. fruit, bottles, drinking glasses, any household objects, etc.).

Practice the same method of sighting we used in class. Normally sighting lines become absorbed into the final drawing, but for this assignment I want you to leave evidence of the sighting and measuring. These can be light pencil lines, but I want to see that you're practicing this method.

The 4 drawings will be due when we meet again as a class on Tuesday, February 4th.


Materials:
Sketchbook (4 pages)
Graphite pencil/compressed graphite
Sighting instrument of some kind
